  • Does Suffering disprove God? Simon Edwards v Harry Amos

    Does Suffering disprove God? Simon Edwards v Harry Amos
    Feb 7 2025
    Can belief in a loving God withstand the reality of suffering? In this special live debate hosted in front of a live student audience in partnership with Youth For Christ in Aylesbury, Unbelievable? brings together two compelling voices to tackle one of the most profound questions in philosophy and theology: does suffering debunk the existence of a God? Can a good God allow such suffering? And does God send good people to hell? 🤔 Harry Amos – An agnostic atheist and blogger at The Book of Amos, who argues that the existence of suffering challenges belief in a benevolent God. 🙏 Simon Edwards – An adjunct speaker apologist from the OCCA, The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics and author of The Sanity of Belief, defending the rationality of faith in the face of pain and hardship. Together, they engage in a discussion on whether suffering makes God’s existence implausible—or if it actually points to something deeper.

  • Is the universe fine-tuned for life? Luke Barnes vs Martin Bauer with Philip Goff [recorded on location at Durham Uni]

    Is the universe fine-tuned for life? Luke Barnes vs Martin Bauer with Philip Goff [recorded on location at Durham Uni]
    Jan 31 2025
    Is the universe fine-tuned for life? And does physics point to God? Tune in to the Unbelievable? Podcast for our debate this week which was filmed in front of a live audience at the University of Durham, with Prof. Philip Goff moderating. We have two excellent physicists in the hot seats. Dr Luke Barnes is a senior lecturer at Western Sydney University and has published extensively on the fine tuning of physics for life. On the other side we have Dr Martin Bauer an associate professor in physics from Durham University, UK. Martin's research focuses on dark matter, and Higgs physics to name just two. This debate at Durham University was funded by the panpsychism and panentheism three-year project that Philip Goff and Andre Buchareth run at Durham University, which is currently funded by the John Templeton Foundation.

  • Is the Universe 5 minutes old? Did the universe begin with a cause? Dan Linford vs David Lu Debate the Kalām Cosmological Argument

    Is the Universe 5 minutes old? Did the universe begin with a cause? Dan Linford vs David Lu Debate the Kalām Cosmological Argument
    Jan 24 2025
    How do we know the age of the Universe, really? Today's guest suggests atheists should believe our world is actually 5 minutes old… no, seriously!!In this episode, Vince Vitale hosts a fascinating discussion with David Lu and Dan Linford to explore a groundbreaking theory and its philosophical and scientific implications on the Big Bang, the existence of a Creator, and the age of the universe. 🔍 David Lu presents a novel argument suggesting the universe might only be five minutes old, challenging traditional cosmological beliefs. This bold claim ignites a lively debate on causation, time, and the very nature of existence. 💡 Dan Linford counters with philosophical and scientific perspectives, leading to a deep exploration of topics such as: The nature of space-time and causationProbability distributions of cosmic events and the Boltzmann brain problemEmpirical evidence vs. theoretical claims about the universe's ageThe validity of cosmological dating methods Together, they unpack whether the universe’s beginning requires a cause and explore how the interplay of science and philosophy shapes our understanding of reality. Meet the Guests:1️⃣ David Lu David is an MD-PhD Candidate at Stanford University and holds an M.Sc. in Philosophy, Science, and Religion from the University of Edinburgh.
