Hindi was a language that was created for the common folks by a foreign Christian missionary. The reason? Sanskrit was considered an elite, religious language only to be spoken by the few. The efforts of Christian missionaries in enabling the Indian to communicate and disseminate ideas is overlooked and derided, often in Hindi speeches. Linguistic scholar and researcher Dr Babu K Verghese unpacks the riveting historical contributions made by "Bible people" to uplift Bharat. Links and citation:(Video) Is ARARAT the Birthplace of INDO-EUROPEAN Civilisation? https://youtu.be/J9FD5Icq4gk?si=3K4vlzuIn0r2nAxf(Book) Let There Be India (Capsule Edition) https://www.amazon.in/Let-There-India-Babu-Verghese/dp/B07FMBT6DS/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.TVvY1VEEn_ZojTWaNGunHYf2rTNvv40gwCTUgnXNHm94jRRymH0Sp22g7GnyWq2_.JF3dZQp2TNJfyfCLi6DlEJsbM1ghJcqfmu1MtUo6WDU&dib_tag=se&qid=1725647401&refinements=p_27%3ADr+Babu+K+Verghese&s=books&sr=1-1(Book) The Jewish Background of Indian People: A Historical, Archaeological, Anthropological and Etymological Study of "The Jewish Lost Tribes" https://www.amazon.in/Jewish-Background-Indian-People-Anthropological-ebook/dp/B00S2AOXFI#:~:text=The%20Jewish%20Background%20of%20Indian,%3A%20Amazon.in%3A%20Kindle%20StoreEquipping the believer defend their faith anytime, anywhere.

With the overturning of Roe v Wade in 2022, the discourse on abortion has increasingly gained prominence world over including in India. However the pro-life movement in India has not garnered the visibility it deserves in comparison to the pro-abortion movement.

We tackle major misconceptions, talk about Indian ground realities concerning abortion and look at the Indian church's response to this pressing issue.Links and citation:(Social Media) LifeforAll India: https://www.instagram.com/lifeforall.india?igsh=MXBiNjFhN3l1bXY5(Social Media) Pregnancy Helpline India: https://www.instagram.com/pregnancyhelpline_india_?igsh=MWczZDZzdmltMDA1bw==Equipping the believer defend their faith anytime, anywhere.

One of the "nastiest evangelists". That's how Rajiv Malhotra tagged William Carey. But is this foreigner the unsung father of modern India and not Raja Ram Mohan Roy? Why did he fight against Sati? Why did he contribute towards linguistic and agricultural leaps? More importantly, why did he do all this while his fellow countrymen looked to merely pillage India?

As if almost out of nowhere, God is making a stunning comeback in the West. New atheism's leading voices have softened their approach to Christianity, spirituality and religion. Some have become Christians too! Secular thinkers are starting to realise that the air they breathe is distinctly Christian. The growing meaning crisis has shown that atheism has nothing to offer. In this dialogue author Justine Brierley unpacks how exactly the West came to realise they need God.Links and citation:(Book) The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God: Why new atheism grew old and secular thinkers are considering Christianity again (https://justinbrierley.com/the-surprising-rebirth-of-belief-in-god/)(Podcast) The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God (https://justinbrierley.com/surprisingrebirth/)(Video) എന്തുകൊണ്ട് പ്രമുഖ നിരീശ്വരവാദികൾ ക്രിസ്ത്യാനികൾ ആകുന്നു?

Does Christianity have a warm embrace for those who grapple with doubts and questions regarding the faith? If so how much should one ought to press those questions? What are the pitfalls when wrestling with doubts and questions? And how should the local churches help someone in that journey?

"Do the gods love the pious because they are good or are they good because the gods love them?" This ancient Greek dilemma has implications for the moral argument even today.

Is Christianity a white man's religion? If not, given the extensive depth of theological and philosophical exploration done in the West, how do we present God, Gospel and Christ to the Eastern mind?

So likewise, just because the things within the universe have a cause/creator it doesn't mean that the universe (collection of all things) has a Cause/Creator. Is that a solid objection? Nope, not really (well the sheep and the herd both have a shepherd so....). Join us as we close down on the defense of part one of the argument for God from the universe's existence. Links and citation:Dennett, Daniel; Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon (New York: Viking, 2006), 242Craig, William Lane; Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics 3rd EditionRecord a question and stand a chance to be featured on SAFT Podcast: https://www.speakpipe.com/saftpodcastBackground music credits:Exclusive: Gandhi Jayanti Special Song | Bande Mein Tha Dum | T-Series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GukgglbNN4YWatch the video podcast here (https://youtu.be/pkS_oZl-iIs)Interested to join our voluntary team as Graphic Designer?

If you say God always existed, why not say the same for the universe? If you say that God is 'timeless', what does that even mean? If there was no time prior to the Big Bang, how was God's relation to time? Is He still timeless now? In this episode we give you a sneak peek into the interesting area of God, time and eternity and conclude our look at the objections from one of atheism's most prolific thinkers to God creating the universe out of nothing.Chapter markers: 00:00- Intro and Recap01:37- 3 objections of Mackie03:11- Creatio Ex Nihilo05:54- Response to Objection 109:38- Response to Objection 212:50- Response to Objection 3 and talking about time22:43- OutroLinks and citation:Stephen Hawking as quoted by John Boslough, “Inside the Mind of a Genius,” Reader's Digest (February 1984), 120; Stephen W.

Hypocrite! Biased! These are descriptions we don't want to hear. We sometimes assume that these don't apply to experts and the best minds out there. But it does apply to all. In continuation of our exploration of the creator behind the universe we take a pit stop to assess what and why one of the best atheist philosophers, J L Mackie, held out his objection against the cause of the universe. You'll be surprised to see how the commoner and the expert are often similar in intellectual inquiry.Chapter markers: 00:00- Intro01:42- Recap of EP 6803:51- Core of Mackie's objection to KCA07:28- Number of objections by Mackie08:48- Why talk of a not so well known philosopher as him?11:29- The 3 objections14:38- Why doesn't he deny Premise 1 of KCA?20:45- OutroLinks and citation:J.

The question remains: if the universe could really come from nothing, then why can't Beethoven or Bhagat Singh pop out of nowhere? If NOTHING created the universe, if really NO-THING created the universe then why the preference for universe(s) alone? Why can't anything and everything appear out of nowhere, from nowhere, and for no reason? How can the lack-of-anything (nothing) have any preference? What are the three solid reasons to say something cannot come from nothing (or that everything that begins to exist has a cause)?

Why does it look like philosophers get stuck in mundane and trivial details blowing it out of proportions? For instance, do you think that if you were to 'imagine/conceive' in your mind Dora the Explorer popping into existence from thin air in your room that she could actually appear out of thin air in your room? No right!? But philosopher J L Mackie thinks so. We look at Mackie's absurd position, miracle-denier philosopher David Hume's point of agreement on the Kalam and more in this latest episode.Links and citation:Record a question and stand a chance to be featured on SAFT Podcast: https://www.speakpipe.com/saftpodcastWatch the video podcast here (https://youtu.be/y9Kgbwjvz4E)Interested to join our voluntary team as Graphic Designer?

‘It's impossible that you win the lottery'. Or wait; is it ‘it's improbable that you win the lottery'? Maybe the right way to say is ‘it's implausible'. What do these words mean? And why is it important that we know the difference to better articulate our points?

In this final episode of this year and Season 3 of SAFT Podcast, Jacob and Steven come on for the first ever live video episode. We'll be signing off this year by looking at the burden of proof that falls on the Christian and the atheist when one affirms/denies claims such as the universe began to exist.

Imagine you have multiple pieces of data or facts before you. How do you make sense of it? Well you could try and draw up a theory or explanation that best explains the facts at hand. Enter Inductive Arguments. For example the resurrection of Jesus Christ has many historical facts attached to it (like the empty tomb, the martyrdom of the disciples etc.) Did the disciples steal the body? Did they hallucinate? Maybe Jesus didn't really die in the first place? Maybe He had an unknown twin? How do you pick one theory as the better fit?

In the previous episodes we concluded our section on 'knowing Christianity is true'. In this episode we begin our quest on 'showing Christianity is true'. Join us this time as we begin exploring the question of how to show Christianity is true. The central challenge is how can a Christian who may claim to have personal experience of God present to others that his/her experience is not delusional? What common grounds can be stood upon to disengage from this epistemic standoff? Let's find out!Chapter Markers:00:00 A swell intro01:20 Why should we show Christianity is true?02:15 Quick recap06:56 Is the role of the inner-witness of the Holy Spirit lacking here?12:34 What are the common grounds to show Christianity is true?15:16 How can we know an argument is true?20:52 Why are the episodes short now?24:32 OutroLinks and citation:Record a question and stand a chance to be featured on SAFT Podcast: https://www.speakpipe.com/saftpodcast  (Video) Check out ‘Ep #3- Is Truth Objective Or Subjective?'

Last time we looked at the intriguing concept of ‘properly basic belief' and what it means to us when we ask the question ‘how can I know that God exists'. In this episode we conclude the dialogue on how we can know Christianity is true by analyzing the role arguments play here.

We are back with episode two of Natural Theology!! Throughout this series we explore in bite-sized format the question if there are any good arguments for the existence of God. Last time we discussed the self-authenticating inner witness of the Holy Spirit and the role it plays in our knowing that Christianity is true. But can it justify our belief in God even if there are arguments that counter it? Can our experience of God be something as fundamental to our knowledge in the face of objections and arguments as our knowledge of our innocence/guilt in a situation? Join us as we explore this most fascinating question!Chapter markers:00:00 Intro00:38 Casual banter01:29 Send us your questions!04:10 An innocent man in court06:07 Who is Alvin Plantinga?07:23 What is a properly basic belief?13:37 What happened to the logical problem of evil?17:35 What if an argument for God is flawed?21:44 How to defeat a properly basic belief?24:04 I'm innocent: a properly basic belief?29:31 The supplementing role of arguments30:36 How do we grasp the divine?32:55 The double warranted Christian belief33:40 Jacob and Piyush clash over a comma & full-stop35:03 OutroLinks and citation:Record a question and stand a chance to be featured on SAFT Podcast (http://www.speakpipe.com/saftpodcast)(Podcast) Check out ‘Ep #26- Why Does God Allow Evil And Suffering?

Theology was crowned the queen of sciences by Thomas Aquinas. In this second part we look at whether philosophy trumps theology by the magisterial use of reason or whether theology reigns as king over philosophy. Unpacking this question is none other than Dr. William Lane Craig, one of the world's leading philosopher and theologian. Dr. Craig expounds on what it takes for a philosopher to become a theologian, what are the different branches of theology and much more! He also responds to objections against philosophy raised by prominent Christian radio hosts. Tying it all at the end is Dr. Craig's reply to a question sent in by the legendary Dr. Alexander Pruss!

Missing body cold cases have two aspects: a 'fuse' of events that uniquely lead up to the crime and 'fallout' of events because of the crime that will turn the world upside down for those involved. Just like decades old cold cases, the life of Jesus is a part of history that awaits inquiry to unpack the truth. What happens when J Warner Wallace, a former atheist and one of America's foremost cold case detective who has investigated several no-body homicide cases in which there was no crime scene, no physical evidence, and no victim's body sets out to investigate and uncover the life of Jesus without looking at the NT documents? Will he be successful? What will he find?

How effective are arguments? It's a question often raised towards the effectiveness of apologetics. But the question also touches upon the much important domain of enquiry: how do I know for sure God exists? Enter the self-authenticating witness of the Holy Spirit. In this one-off episode the SAFT Podcast duo makes a short, fun and casual return to look at apologetics arguments, how evangelism involves arguments, the role of personal arguments, and also the self-authenticating witness of the Holy Spirit. We also discuss about all the hype revolving around Clubhouse.

Science is king above all! That's the notion prevalent across the atheistic spectrum. It's also one that's gaining traction among the laypeople. The reasoning is that since we can do physical tests and understand the natural tangible world and that since scientific discoveries better our life it must therefore be the greatest discipline – the pathway to truth. Often times this thinking hurls philosophy to the side leaving philosophy subject to misguided and disillusioned ridicule. Philosopher and theologian Kenneth Samples, who works alongside an astronomer, astrophysicist, biochemist at Reasons To Believe, points out that such thinking is akin to chopping off the branch one sits upon while aspiring to fly. Yup, that ridiculous!!Chapter markers:01:47 What do we mean by philosophy?3:13 The 'discipline' of philosophy vs 'being' philosophical6:17 What do we mean by science?9:59 What does philosophy of science tell us?11:38 Are philosophy & theology needed to do science?13:39 Scientific claims are testable & falsifiable.

How complex is our body? Highly, highly complex, even down to the cellular level! What seems to be the best explanation of this complexity? Evolutionary theories (theories that are purely natural withholding the possibility of supernatural intervention) and Intelligent Design theories (theories that allow for supernatural intervention) are at odds here. The former claims that pure chance is the best explanation and that this is often made evident by the flaws in our body, something we shouldn't expect if there was an intelligent designer involved. The latter claims to explain not only the hidden design behind these ‘alleged' flaws but also posit that the extremity of complexity observed tilts the evidential inductive scale in its favour. Renowned author and prolific biochemist Dr. Fazale Rana joins Jacob to explore whether intelligent design is the better explanation of the data at hand and in the due course drops bombshell insights into how truly complex the human body is!Chapter markers:1:18 Fuz at SAFT's Areopagus 2021 conference2:56 Intelligent Design theories vs Evolutionary theories5:53 Genesis 1 & the word 'perfect'7:44 Is the female pelvis bad design?12:52 Is the male nipple bad design?20:50 Do we have these flaws because we found shortcuts for evolving?25:53 Is irreducible complexity a smoking gun for intelligent design?30:30 ATP-Synthase, the literal machine in our body!32:32 The biggest challenge to evolutionary theories?38:14 Weighing good design & bad design on a scale41:23 What happens to Christianity if there are aliens?Links and citation:Check out the phenomenal resources made available by Reasons To Believe Video- From What Has Been Made | Dr. Fazale 'Fuz' Rana | Day 2 | Areopagus 2021 Video- Day 2 | Q&A | Dr. Fazale 'Fuz' Rana | Areopagus 2021Book- The Cell's Design: How Chemistry Reveals the Creator's ArtistryArticle- Top 10 Design Flaws in the Human BodyArticle- The human body is not perfect, having made too many adjustments during evolutionBook- Lights In the Sky & Little Green Men: A Rational Christian Look at UFOs and Extraterrestrials Book- Thinking about Evolution: 25 Questions Christians Want Answered Leave a review and rate our podcast on Podchaser (Android) and Apple Podcasts (iOS)Watch the video podcast here.Equipping the believer defend their faith anytime, anywhere.

Isn't abortion a right of the women? If the purpose of life is to know God then isn't euthanasia pursuable for someone who is brain dead? Why is God concerned with what consenting adults do in the bedroom? If no person is born sans-God's intention, then what is gender dysphoria? Have we bifurcated the ‘person' from the ‘body' too much? Where do we as Christians stand on these issues? Should we voice our opinion or keep silent? Nancy Pearcey, heralded by The Economist as “America's preeminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual”, shares profound insight on these pressing issues.Links and citation:Get the book ‘Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality'Watch the video podcast on our YouTube channel.Equipping the believer defend their faith anytime, anywhere.

Am I just my brain? How can we say we have an immaterial mind when we can control our actions and thoughts by stimulating our brain! Hasn't science definitively shown that our brain is all there is? Maybe our brain is identical to our mind! Cambridge trained brain imaging scientist Dr. Sharon Dirckx (OCCA The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics) differs. In this most intriguing of episodes Sharon converses with Jacob and shows why she concurs with Wilder Penfield, a pioneer of neuroscience.Links and citation:Get the book ‘Am I Just My Brain'Mystery of the Mind: A Critical Study of Consciousness and the Human Brain (Princeton Legacy Library, 1793)- Wilder Penfield (pages 76, 80)Check out this fascinating interview by our friends at The Carpenter's Desk: Dr. Gary Habermas Presents Compelling Evidence Against Naturalism (Near-Death Experiences)God on the Brain: What Cognitive Science Does (and Does Not) Tell Us about Faith, Human Nature, and the DivineThe Blackwell Companion to Substance DualismFor more resources on this topic and others from the OCCA The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, visit the website https://www.theocca.org/Watch the video podcast on our YouTube channel.Equipping the believer defend their faith anytime, anywhere.
