In February, William Lane Craig partnered with Campus Crusade for a series of events on the University of Florida campus:
"Several weeks prior to our visit, the Crusade students surveyed around 1,000 students on what one question they would ask God, and they sent me the top three responses. These were, in order, (1) the meaning and purpose of life, (2) the problem of suffering, and (3) the existence of God."
Is this "postmodern" generation interested in apologetic questions? Absolutely. And it is vital for us to know which questions they're asking.
Others seem to think that there are some promising trends amongst young people.

Philosophy class seems to be growing in popularity.

Umm... Wait. "the existence of God"?
One of the top three questions that students would ask God is, "Do you exist?"
Wouldn't that be superfluous, once you're having a conversation with him? :)
