In this livestream, I talk with UK radio host Justin Brierley about his 10+ years of experience hosting dialogues between Christians and atheists. Did any debates cause him to doubt? How does he manage not to get defensive?

In this livestream, Dr. Josh Rasmussen (@Worldview Design) joins me to explain a Modal Argument from Contingency. This is a particular kind of cosmological argument that combines logical and existential data. In English, it's a ridiculously strong argument for God's existence.

In this video, I'm joined by Dr. Luke Barnes and Maverick Christian (Wade Tisthammer) to respond to Paulogia's critique of my video on the Puddle Analogy to Fine-Tuning.

In this video, I explain why the Puddle Analogy against the Fine-tuning Argument for God fails (on multiple levels). #1: The likelihood principle says that “if some evidence is more likely on Hypothesis 1 than Hypothesis 2, then that evidence confirms Hypothesis 1 over Hypothesis 2.” Here’s a quick example: suppose you’re playing Poker and the guy to your left has been dealt a Royal Flush the last...

Does having hundreds of arguments for God actually do any philosophical work or is it a rhetorical gimmick? Dr. Ted Poston and Dr. Chad McIntosh join me to discuss a very interesting argument for the existence of God: The Argument from All the Arguments.

In this video, Dr. Chad McIntosh presents over 100 arguments for the existence of God. Each argument is presented in visual form followed by recommended sources for further research. At the end, we discuss what a similar list of arguments for atheism would look like (and what it would imply for the theistic list of arguments).

This is basically an overview of many philosophical puzzles brought about by the concept of prayer. If God knows what we will pray before we pray it, does it matter if we pray? Is God praiseworthy even though He didn't choose to be Good?
