This discussion features two Christian guests on the question of the doctrine and nature of hell. Does the Bible teach that hell is eternal separation from God, as is traditionally believed, or is hell something else altogether? Chris Date, an annihilationist, runs a website called Rethinking Hell where he defends a "conditional immortality" perspective. Jason Crowder is a traditionalist, he believes that hell is eternal. We are discussing a positive case for Chris' view. He argues firstly that ...

I was browsing Facebook the other day (as I often do) and came across a paper that looked really interesting. It was titled: "From a Cosmic Fine-Tuner to a Perfect Being." That caught my attention immediately because Fine-Tuning Arguments have traditionally been thought of as to only get us to a cosmic designer, not all the way to God (classically conceived). After reading the paper, I found it so interesting that I contacted the author, Justin Mooney, and invited him on for an interview. This p...

In episode 19, Dr. Calum Miller and I complete our discussion of the Prior Probability of the Resurrection. Episode 18 laid a lot of groundwork for 19. Go listen to it if you haven't! In episode 19, we get a real understanding of what it takes to form an accurate prior probability for Jesus' Resurrection. We address several objections like, "dead people tend to stay dead, so in all likelihood, Jesus stayed dead too, " "miracles almost never happen, so the Resurrection probably didn’t happen," an...

Over the next two episodes, Dr. Calum Miller and I discuss the Prior Probability of the Resurrection. "What the heck is that?" you might be asking yourself. Skeptical arguments against the resurrection of Jesus, for example, the objection that dead people usually stay dead or that miracles never happen, are really arguments that Jesus’ resurrection is supremely unlikely before we look at any of the evidence. Episodes 18 and 19 take these objections to task. Is Jesus' Resurrection all that unlike...

We’ve come to the end. Not the end of Capturing Christianity, but to the end of our 4-part series on the contingency argument. As mentioned, we’re wrapping up our 4-part series on the argument from contingency which in my mind is the strongest argument for God’s existence. Please go back and listen to the previous 3 parts. Don’t start at this one. It’s not going to make any sense. The argument from contingency has two stages. Stage 1 is about establishing that a necessary being exists, and Stage...

After we finished recording this 4-part series, I had the sense that this was going to be one of the most important things we’ve ever done. Actually, I had that sense before we even recorded. We’re in the middle of a 4-part series on the argument from contingency. It’s the absolute best argument for God’s existence. Well at least in the mind of one lowly photographer. I really like it. Makes a lot of sense, I know of very few good objections to it. Each episode I mention that the contingency arg...

The argument from contingency is my favorite argument for God’s existence. Hands down. And to kick this series off, which is actually our first 4-parter, I’ve invited Dr. Josh Rasmussen. He is the foremost expert in the world on this argument. Over the past year that we’ve been corresponding, he’s also grown to be a great friend and mentor. I can’t say enough about him. If I were still charismatic, I would say that I know in my heart of hearts (ie: my "knower") that this series will stand as som...
