    112: Does God Exist?, pt 42: Aquinas' First Way

    112: Does God Exist?, pt 42: Aquinas' First Way

    I started my exploration of Thomas Aquinas' Five Ways, beginning with his First Way - the argument from motion. Aquinas argues that only God can explain why things change. Change can only be explained by a First, Unmoved Mover; i.e. a Being who is the ultimate source of all change, but is itself not changed by anything.

    111: Arizona abortion law and pro-life strategy

    111: Arizona abortion law and pro-life strategy

    The current legal situation regarding abortion law in Arizona has revealed a strategic divide among pro-lifers. All pro-lifers want to make abortion unthinkable in this country, but disagree as to the best way of achieving that end. Abolitionists take an all-or-nothing approach, while incrementalists attempt to end abortion in a series of multiple steps. I argue that the incremental approach is the correct one, and make a case for why we need to pass an abortion law at the federal level.

    110: Does God Exist?, pt 41: Human Equality, Free Will, Miracles, Resurrection

    110: Does God Exist?, pt 41: Human Equality, Free Will, Miracles, Resurrection

    I offer four more arguments for God's existence from human equality, free will, miracles, and the resurrection.

    I argue that the notion of human equality has no place in a materialistic worldview, but can only be grounded by a transcendent source like God who.

    I argue that there can be no free will in a materialistic universe. Freedom of the will requires a human soul, and the best explanation for the human soul is God.

    I argue that miracles occur, and they point us to a supernatural cause whose identity can be revealed by the context of the miracle. 

    Finally, I argue that the resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the best explanation of the historical evidence, and that Jesus' resurrection demonstrates that the Christian God is the true God and Christianity is the one true religion.

    109: Does God Exist?, pt 40: Origin of Life, Argument from Human Rights, Argument from Human Value

    109: Does God Exist?, pt 40: Origin of Life, Argument from Human Rights, Argument from Human Value

    I offer three more arguments for God's existence: the origin of life, the argument from human rights, and the argument from human value.

    I argue that only a transcendent, intelligent mind like God could create the biological information and order required for living things. 

    I argue that the notion of human rights can only be grounded in a transcendent source like God.

    Finally, I argue that humans can only have real value if we are made in the image of God.

    108: Does God Exist?, pt 39: Ontological, Consciousness, Logic, and Mathematical Arguments

    108: Does God Exist?, pt 39: Ontological, Consciousness, Logic, and Mathematical Arguments

    I am continuing my series on the evidence for God's existence with a host of additional arguments. I will not go into the same depth for each argument that I have for the previous arguments. In this episode, I spend the bulk of the time explaining the ontological argument. This is an oft-neglected argument that should be discussed more often. It is a powerful argument that gives you a maximally great being like God. I also give an argument for God from human consciousness, the existence of the laws of logic, and the existence of numbers/mathematics.

Thanks Jason!

I have followed Jason Dulle for years. I first came across his writings and perspectives on the website Institute for Biblical Studies. Later I came across him on Twitter and now through that media, I find myself as a supporter of his podcast.
I have gained so much insight from the many subjects he has covered over the years. I anticipate a new level of enjoyment and wisdom gained from listening to him expound on his beliefs and opinions.
Thank you for all you’ve done and for allowing God to use you to pour into so many people.
