About the Author
Steve R. Osborne, PhD
Former Atheist. Trained Scientist. Christian Apologist
Steve holds a PhD in Experimental Psychology from Arizona State University. For 30 years, he was convinced science and faith were incompatible.
When challenged to examine the evidence, everything changed. "I was stunned," Steve says. "All my arguments were based on false assumptions."
Today, Steve writes to help believers and skeptics alike see that reason and revelation point to the same truth.
The Evidence Is Waiting
Will You Examine It?
For too long, culture has told us we must choose: faith or science. Heart or mind. Belief or evidence.
Beyond Chance shows you there's another way.
“Whatever it is, the way you tell your story The universe is trying to tell you something. From the Big Bang to the Empty Tomb—the evidence has been hiding in plain sight.”
