Those who reject dualism claim that it is impossible for the mind to affect physical processes in the brain because mind has no physical properties like mass or energy. In this episode we present experimental evidence that mental states do in fact affect brain states. How? We propose that there exists a continuous two-way exchange of information (itself non-material) between mind and brain.

In 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 Paul explores the pivotal role of Christ's resurrection in God's eternal plan and reveals the contrasting destinies of the two "tribes" of humanity, the tribe of Adam and the tribe of Christ. The curse upon Adam for his rebellion brought mortality, spiritual death, and eternal separation from God. But Christ's substitutionary death and resurrection redeem all who trust in...

In this episode, we continue our exploration of chapter 9 from the book "What is Man, Adam, Alien or Ape?" by our host. The discussion centers around an intriguing analogy where the brain is depicted as a house and the mind as its occupant. This episode delves into the theory of dualism, particularly through the lens of three realtors representing different theories of human consciousness.

To what or whom do you give allegiance, to the traditions of men or the lordship of Christ? Chris Boraston discusses the dilemma that faced the Pharisees in Acts 5:22-42 and shows that it faces many relgious people today. It demands a decision from each of us because "no man can serve two masters".

Is the human mind non-existent or at best a powerless emanation of brain activity? Many so believe but having examined their claims we see that they are only claims based on the prior assumptions of materialism. We quote an eminent philosopher who points out that non-material things like love, emotions and thoughts about future events are the true reality of human experience.

Chris Boraston finds a surprising outburst of apostolic miracles of various kinds in Acts 5:11-21 and points out that miracles (in both OT and NT) occurred not randomly but during periods when God was introducing something new. In this case it was the establishment of the New Covenant Church and miracles served to authenticate Jesus as the divine Messiah and the apostles whose testimony gave us th...

Chapter 9 of "What is Man? Adam, Alien or Ape?" embarks on an exploration of the complex relationship between the mind and the brain. The chapter begins with a thought-provoking quotation from J.B.S. Haldane, challenging the notion that the mind is merely a by-product of brain activity. Using a captivating house and garden analogy, we illustrate the distinctions between the brain's automatic funct...

When God acts in judgement what principles determine His actions? In this serious but sensitive message Chris Boraston explores this question. Expounding the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 along with other scriptures that describe God's need to act in judgement, he concludes with Abram that "the judge of all the earth" can only "do right". Sorry for reduced sound quality due to microphone...

In this heart-warming episode, Phil Watson expands upon the closing verse of Psalm 23 by demonstrating that God's dealings with his people are always characterised by goodness and mercy, giving examples from the Old Testament and the culmination of the divine kindness and grace in Christ and the New Covenant.

Athens was the centre of ancient culture but at the same time its highly sophisticated inhabitants were idolaters. Our situation today is strangely similar. Our "idols" are different (money, sex, rave-music, selfish ambition etc.) but they are equally effective in turning men's hearts from worshipping the only true God. We can learn from the way Paul set about proclaiming Christ to the Athenians.

Do the dates attributed to hominid fossils support the evolutionary narrative or are those dates a consequence of evolutionary assumptions? We offer arguments in favour of the latter explanation, examining the various methods used by palaeontologists ("PAs") to date fossils such as carbon 14, radiometric, trace fossils and artefact methods.

God commands Joshua to be "strong and very courageous" as he leads the people of Israel into the promised land. Easy to say but much more difficult to obey, given the resistence they were likely to encounter. But the Lord points out to Joshua (and thus also to us) that there are three good reasons for courage in the face of the challenges of serving God, namely, the promises of God, the power of G...

Christ's second coming seldom affects the way Christians behave today as it did in the early church. Yet the parable of the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25:31-46 challenges our thinking on this issue because, as we seek to show in this podcast, it confronts us with the way we respond to Christ's "new commandment" to love our fellow believers as Christ loves us. Apologies for the misquote from me...
