    Atheist Cosmological Arguments, Part 2

    Picking up where the last episode left off, Dan continues his discussion of cosmological arguments for atheism. In this episode he talks about an argument from Quentin Smith which accepts the Kalam Cosmological Argument for a cause of the universe, but which attempts to show that the universe is its own cause.

    Atheist Cosmological Arguments, Part 1

    Ryan is currently on a quest to rescue the New Year Baby with the help of Caveman and Ben Franklin, so Dan tackles a couple of philosophical arguments for atheism. The first is a version of (or response to) the Kalam Cosmological Argument which suggests that the universe can't possibly have a cause.

    The Leibnizian Cosmological Argument

    Does everything have an explanation? What about the clown ghost that seems to be haunting Ryan? These are Very Important Questions and Dan and Ryan will do their best to get to the bottom of them as they talk about another version of the cosmological argument for God's existence. (As for the ghost, he is welcome to set up a third mic and join the discussion.)

    The Kalam Cosmological Argument

    Can someone really hire an infinite number of assassins to take out Ryan? Also where did the universe come from?

    Has Science Disproved Free Will?

    Scientists Who Go Mad for Sugar: The Meaning of Free Will (Part 2)

    Seems like our old pals Smith and Jones are at it again, this time baking cookies with potentially deadly results. Also, we can't seem to stop ourselves from dunking on the late Stephen Hawking. But can we be blamed? Or did the universe make us do it?

    Predicting the Future and Dodging Bullets: The Meaning of Free Will (Part 1)

    Do we have free will? If not, then who should we blame for the movie where Nicolas Cage plays a Vegas magician who can see two minutes into the future? Personally, I blame Ryan.
