Philosophy professor Tyler McNabb will be sharing tips on how to effectively Street Preach from a philosophical perspective. This is an open forum for Christians to join and ask questions on the topic. Tyler has been street preaching for over a decade. Outside of America, Tyler has done street evangelism in the U.K., Israel, and Central America. One of the ways in which Tyler's approach to evangelism is unique is that he focuses on integrating philosophy into his evangelistic methodology. Tyler is now an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of St. Joseph, Macau..

This is the remastered and repaired audio from an exchange between Dr. Alvin Plantinga and Dr. Daniel Dennett. The audio was really bad in every iteration I found online, so I had my sound producer Sawyer Hudson doctor it up. The doctored version is still pretty bad but you can at least make out about 98% of what's said. For a little background on this exchange, Dr. Plantinga was presenting a paper he wrote entitled, "Science and Religion, Where the Conflict Really Lies." Dr. Dennett was tasked with commenting on the paper. That's it. He was tasked with responding to the content. But unfortunately Dennett went way off topic and kind of went on a rant against religious belief. Because of this, to lay audiences it ended up sounding like a debate (even though it wasn't).

Over the course of about 2 months, atheist podcaster Justin Schieber and I engaged in a formal written debate on the Problem of Evil. It gets a little technical at points, so I highly recommend reading the transcript (available on our patreon page here: https://bit.ly/2MCrxYp). The format of the debate was 15 minute openings, 10 minute rebuttals, and 8 minute closings. We each had up to seven days to issue our responses, ask for clarification, etc. It was originally written and later orated for the August 28th, 2017 episode of the Real Atheology Podcast.

This discussion features two theists, Glenn Peoples and Randal Rauser, and two atheists, Lance Hannestad and Graham Seth Moore, discussing the conditional premise of the moral argument. All participants affirm the view that moral facts exist and are real, the disagreement is found over the grounding of these moral facts (natural vs supernatural). The theists contend that God is required to ground moral facts, while the atheists contend the opposite: a satisfactory account of moral ontology can be given purely from a naturalistic perspective.

In this live interview, I talk with Dr. Lydia McGrew about whether we have good internal evidence that the Bible is true and accurate. Another word for this is "Undesigned Coincidences."
