The Mighty Philbert PodcastS01E21 The Reliability of the GospelsSend us a textJ. Warner Wallace, Lee Strobel, and Josh McDowell all claim they’ve got the “case” for the Bible locked down. Wallace waves around Acts like a detective’s notebook, Strobel plays cheerleader with leading questions, and McDowell buries us under a so-called “tsunami of evidence.”But when you dig deeper, what you actually find is silence treated like proof, manuscript quantity hype sold as truth, circular eyewitness claims, and emotional pivots whenever the facts run dry.In this episode of The Mighty Philbert, I take you on a sarcastic field trip through the apologet...

Armed with Mel Gibson movies, mystery engineers, and a suspicious lack of sources, Josh makes his case for the resurrection… and I take it apart, one contradiction at a time. We’ll cover: - The recycled story of “500 witnesses” - The Georgia Tech Stone Calculation™ - Why women preparing Jesus’ body makes zero cultural or textual sense - An...

Spoiler alert: the universe doesn’t come with a “Made by Yahweh” tag.
