Philosophy and Faith Daniel Jepsen

Today we have our first guest: Dr. Justin Gash of Franklin College.
Justin is a professor in the math department, and also assistant Dean of the college. He occasionally teaches a class on Reasonable Faith, as well as guiding independent studies of that material.
Our conversation is about his own intellectual/spiritual journey, what he has learned from teaching these classes, and what he thinks about the arguments for God's existence.
In our next episode, Dr. Gash will walk us through his favorite argument for the existence of God: the moral argument.

Can we prove God's existence by the fact or features of the universe? To tackle this issue we will discuss:
The difference between proofs and signsThe meaning of the cosmological argument, and its various formsThe meaning of the argument from design (also known as the teleological argument)The resurrection of the argument from design in the last 50 yearsThe curious case of Anthony Flew

If love is the meaning of creation, then how exactly does that play out in our individual lives? What is MY purpose? What will my future life be like?
That is what we tackle in this episode.

The great philosopher Martin Heidegger said the most fundamental question in philosophy is this: Why is there something rather than nothing?
Christianity, unlike naturalism, gives an answer to the question, and it is both satisfying and stimulating.

A discussion about the nature of time and of God's eternity, especially about whether God's eternity means simply everlasting duration or atemporality. We also discuss theoretical physics, prayer, and Bruce Almighty.

This episode focuses on the relationship between God and the universe. More specifically we will address:
The problem of evilWhy naturalism makes the problem of evil worseWhy the church has sometimes come across as anti-sexTheism vs. naturalism and eastern thought on this questionIs the ultimate nature of reality personal or material, and what difference does this make?Will we have physical bodies after death and resurrection?and more
