Podcast #27: Do we really have a free will?
The assumption that each of us has a free will is powerful … but is it true? The idea of a free will is attractive and popular because it promises people happiness in the choices they make. I would like to assert that this notion is deceitful and a trap, and not where true joy … Continue reading Podcast #27: Do we really have a free will?
Podcast #26: The Problem with the Problem of Evil
If there is a God, and God is good, why is there evil in the world? That is the premise of the problem of evil, and it's overwhelmingly why people move in the direction of atheism.

Podcast #22: Defining Life and Death
In a one-dimensional worldview, we're used to considering life as only physical, material. And death is defined as someone's physiology shutting down.

Podcast #21: Defining science, knowledge, & justice
We're continuing to consider the difference in definitions of fundamental words from two different worldviews: a one-dimensional, material-only world versus a three-dimensional universe from which flows Christianity X.
