There is a certain stigma prevalent in the media which is that smart people don't believe in God. This is completely false of course.
Some of the greatest minds in human history have been believers, people like Pascal, Galileo, and even Isaac Newton.
The idea today that is being pushed is that people who believe in God are just superstitious, or kind of wacky, and there are no actual scholars or doctors who believe in Jesus.
Well that's wrong, very wrong.
There are numerous Christian Ph.Ds, who are some of the smartest people in the world, including Dr. Hugh Ross who is an astrophysicist, and Dr. John Lennox who has 3 earned doctorates and is a professor at Oxford.
And on the topic of Christian apologetics, I would like to give you a list of some of the top apologists in the world. Some debate at universities, and others write influential books.
Our list includes (in no particular order) Frank Turek (CrossExamined.org), Lee Strobel, (LeeStrobel.com) J Warner Wallace (ColdCaseChristianity.com) and William Lane Craig (ReasonableFaith.org).
Here is a video that talks about some of these top apologists in the world:
