Science Isn’t Everything – Faith And Self-Evidence Are Good, Too

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – What’s the science behind the faith of Catholicism and any of the faiths that came after Catholicism? What’s the science behind that? What’s the science of this being you call the Creator? What’s the science and the statistics of prayers being answered? How many of you remember Garth Brooks’ song “Unanswered Prayers”?
