Joel Lantz "Bridges for Honest Skeptics" PDF

Mathematician, physicist, inventor, and philosopher Blaise Pascal once noted that God has provided evidence sufficiently clear to convince people with open hearts and minds, yet sufficiently vague so as not to compel people with closed hearts and minds. But popular biases and misrepresentations, and today’s frustrating evils, can create doubts even in “open hearts and minds” — including the minds of honest skeptics, who believe truth exists, seek truth, and are willing (or at least willing to be willing) to embrace truth when they find it.

I, as a former honest skeptic, have written this meaty, phone-friendly-page, 100%-free PDF* to help other strugglers faced with tough questions and misleading claims and presuppositions. It hopefully builds a few bridges over honest skeptics’ intellectual roadblocks and strengthens non-skeptics’ confidence.
