Mission

Reasonable Faith UTD is a Christian apologetics club at the University of Texas at Dallas. Our mission is to explore historical, philosophical, and scientific evidence for God and Christianity while fostering open discussion with people from all backgrounds.

We don’t claim to have all the answers, but we are committed to exploring the tough questions with the help of experts who specialize in these topics. All are welcome—Christian, atheist, agnostic, Muslim, Hindu, or simply curious—because we believe that truth should be explored openly.

Meetings

Each week, we host expert speakers who present on topics like:

• Are science and faith in conflict?
• Is morality objective?
• Is the universe fine-tuned for life?
• Is there sufficient evidence for Christianity?
• And more!

These presentations typically last an hour followed by a Q&A for around 15-20 minutes. After each meeting, folks will usually drive to a nearby restaurant to keep the discussion going and to hangout. And if you can’t make it, our meetings are live streamed and recorded on YouTube!

Once a month, we gather for Pancakes & Pontification—a relaxed Saturday evening where we make pancakes and engage in open discussions on any questions that come up about faith, philosophy, and life.

History

Founded in 2010, we are the first ever campus chapter of Reasonable Faith, the apologetics organization led by Dr. William Lane Craig. Our club was started by Garrett Engel, Charlie Holman, and Allen Hainline, and since then, we’ve remained committed to fostering thoughtful discussions on faith, reason, and evidence.
