Agnostic about God, non-physicalist about consciousness, and host of Counter Apologetics and Walden Pod. Both podcasts are available on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, and most of the other places they keep podcasts. They also usually end up on this channel.
From Atheism to Agnosticism (with@AdherentApologetics)
Zac and I explore a few of the things that drew me to agnosticism. Religious ambiguity, conflicting evidence, disagreement among epistemic peers, the vast diversity of the theistic tradition (as well as varieties of non-theism), and my acceptance of the value-selection hypothesis have all played a part in pushing me somewhat reluctantly to agnosticism.

Strong Emergence vs. The Core Theory (Response to Sean Carroll)
Переглядів 1,9 тис.21 день тому
The core theory, weak vs. strong emergence, micro-reductionism, and Sean Carroll’s skeptical argument against everything. Is Dr. Carroll correct in holding that physics has ruled out the afterlife, an immaterial soul, fundamental consciousness, and parapsychology?

What would convince you of God's existence?
Переглядів 12 тис.3 місяці тому
What would change your mind and cause you to convert to Christianity? I name three things: Christian aliens, miracles, and religious experience. That's not an exhaustive list, but those things would dramatically raise my credence in Christian theism. I spend the most time talking about religious experiences, mainly for two reasons. First, their epistemic significance is not always appreciated b...
Am I Agnostic?
Переглядів 4,1 тис.4 місяці тому
The world is religiously ambiguous: It can be interpreted in various incompatible ways, and the interpreters are not necessarily violating any standards of rationality in doing so. As for me, I can’t say that I feel any position being forced on me by the evidence. My best efforts to judge the total balance of evidence weighing for and against theism leave me thinking that no one has a decisive ...
Universalism Debate: Emerson Green vs. John Buck
Переглядів 2,1 тис.5 місяців тому
I'm joined by John Buck to debate universal salvation, free will, eternal conscious torment, and other topics related to hell and the afterlife. I think Christian theism entails universalism, while John tends to think it does not.

The Collapse of the Moral Argument for God
Переглядів 20 тис.5 місяців тому
Today, we cast some doubt on the idea that morality is objective only if God exists. We also define some crucial terms, refute a few apologetic canards, and discuss how apologists have misrepresented the field of metaethics and failed the audiences that rely on them. We also discuss the Euthyphro dilemma, Hume’s Law, and explore a back-and-forth between William Lane Craig and Michael Huemer on ...

Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Conversion - An Atheist Reacts
Переглядів 13 тис.7 місяців тому
Ayaan Hirsi Ali recently announced her conversion to Christianity. But has she only adopted a form of cultural Christianity? I examine her reasons for becoming a Christian and draw some parallels between Ayaan and another political convert: Andrew Tate. I think her reasons for adopting Christianity are quite clearly explicated, even though some Christians have been trying very hard to ignore th...

The Case Against Epiphenomenalism
Переглядів 2 тис.8 місяців тому
Epiphenomenalism is the view that mental states have no effect on anything. The feeling of pain, counterintuitively, does not cause your aversion, mentally or physically. Beliefs don’t cause behavior. None of our actions occur in virtue of our thoughts, feelings, or sensations. Inspired by Matthew Adelstein’s post defending epiphenomenalism, I want to explain my opposition to the view. A few ti...
