12:40Now PlayingDeepak Chopra, a very well-known New Age teacher of mysticism debates Christian apologist Greg Koukl on Lee Strobel's show "Faith under Fire." This interaction was mentioned in the forward to Greg's book, "Tactics."
Though this aired in 2005, I think it's still one of the best examples of how to effectively deliver facts while calling out inconsistencies in your opponent's position. Notice how Dr. Chopra begins stating information with certainty, only to default to "uncertainty" at the end, a very popular (and wildly inconsistent) position many New Agers hold. Many progressive Christians have a similar view, interestingly.
What's startling is that Deepak Chopra has written several books about "Jesus" and he's not able to take Greg's challenges and corrections head-on. I think this is an excellent resource for students, too, to show logical fallacies. I added subtitles and a little "flair" to this video version.
