  4. 157. Why Believe?

    157. Why Believe?

    The 18th-century philosopher David Hume famously predicted that, as the world grew more rational and scientific, people would stop having supernatural encounters. But that’s not what has played out. We might live in a secular age, but we continue to have seemingly divine experiences. Lots of people now describe themselves as “spiritual but not religious”, but taking that next step - that leap of faith - into a formal belief system might actually be more rational than not.

(01:07:35) - - The three problems with religion (01:13:35) - - Why believe in Jesus?

    155. Good Pope

    The world’s attention has recently been on the Vatican, and the election of the new Pope Leo XIV. But what’s the history behind the office of the Bishop of Rome? What makes a good pope? By looking at the extraordinary career of John Dickson’s favourite pontiff, we attempt to answer those questions.

    REWIND: Emotional Intelligence

    Some think we might not be too far away from Artificial Intelligence actually having feelings. If it does happen, what will it mean? Might it mean we humans are, in the end, just machines? We look back at that question - and more - in this Undeceptions Rewind! If you like what you hear, listen to the episode in full: Episode 71 'Emotional Intelligence'.

    154. Boy Jesus

    The Gospels tell us about Jesus’ adult life, with scant references to his childhood. We can catch glimpses of the younger Jesus' life, but there’s so much we don’t know. But if we move beyond the Bible, we can learn about the world the younger Jesus lived in. Growing up a refugee, in a land under foreign occupation, and a region full of militia groups, it’s worth asking: How did the turbulent background of the boy Jesus affect His message … and the whole of Christianity?
