How would you respond as a Christian faced with this intellectual challenge?</p><p>This short video captures a powerful, yet very civil, question and answer session between a scientist and an apologist.</p><p>The scientist broaches the topic of free will and determinism, and discussion ensues about whether belief in either Christianity or science supports the notion of human free
