Conversations. Testimonies. Journeys. Stories. Philosophy. Psychology. Religion. God knows what else. This has become a space to offer people a wide spectrum of beliefs, interests, opinions and stories. The host is Christian and the conversations often center around biblical themes and narratives, but the goal is to present an open space for dialogue and understanding, and may in some instances be explicit. Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all.”

    Problem of Evil, Kaliya Rivet, 5-4-23

    Play Episode Listen Later May 5, 2023 43:00


    "Abstract": Standard approaches to the problem of evil seem to treat good and bad events as objective and rank-ordered on an absolute scale. Intuitively, however, whether something is good or bad depends on what you value, and what you value in turn depends on what kind of person you are and the events that have shaped the course of your life. In desiring any significantly different existence, therefore, you risk wishing away the very circumstances that make it possible for you to appreciate whatever it is you are wishing for. Conversely, the best of all possible worlds--or at least the best possible past--has a way of being whatever actually happened, almost purely in virtue of the fact that it happened. These reflexive observations make the problem of evil--effectively the question of whether our circumstances bespeak divine providence or negligence--"inevaluable" as standardly posed. Such "inevaluability" is the key theme that this episode circles around. For it and other insights I am indebted to my friend Luke Thompson, to whom this episode is dedicated.

    Exploring how one might read and approach the scriptures. How does one make sense of this book that seemingly contradicts itself at different angles? How do we attempt to understand this? “Specifically wondering, what standard of intelligibility do we think scripture can satisfy? Sometimes we defend it by using logical arguments. At other times, we say that it “transcends” logic, and that we're not meant to bother trying.”
