Apologetics.com Preaching Series

The Apologetics.com “Too Heavy for Sunday Morning Sermon Series”

The Apologetics.com Staff has the honor of being asked by Communion Presbyterian Church of Irvine, California to do an Apologetics.com Conference as a Sunday morning teaching series.

In an interesting case of art imitating life, she has noted the similarities between her own beliefs and those of Eleanor Arroway, the astronomer she plays in the film Contact:

I absolutely believe what Ellie believes—that there is no direct evidence [for God], so how could you ask me to believe in God when there’s absolutely no evidence that I can see? I do believe in the beauty and the awe-inspiring mystery of the science that’s out there that we haven’t discovered yet, that there are scientific explanations for phenomena that we call mystical because we don’t know any better.¹
