The Meta & The Apologetics Of Evidentialism Today we fly through the meta & the apologetics of evidentialism as it shares a number of qualities with classical apologetics we've discussed before.

Author and speaker Iain Provan joins the podcast to discuss his recent book, Cuckoos in Our Nest: Truth and Lies about Being Human. Contemporary Western culture offers up various visions of what it means to be human, visions that many within the church have unknowingly adopted yet which contrast sharply with biblical revelation. Like the murderous offspring of the cuckoo bird, once these ideas take root, they drive out biblical assumptions of anthropology, even while masquerading as Christian. In this episode, Iain highlights three of these “cuckoos” and explains their effects on Christian thinking, addressing such questions as: What is the relationship between science and faith? What are the origins of current ideas about the self? Which sources should Christians consider authoritative? How does culture catechize the church? How can the church identify and dethrone the cuckoos that have already taken hold?

In this episode I discuss the difference between evidentialism, which I wholeheartedly embraced when I was younger, and presuppositional appologetics, which I'm coming to love in recent years. These two options aren't only arbitrary approaches to apologetics, but reveal deeper theological truths. Does evidence prove God? Or do we all have an innate knowledge of God like Scripture says? In reality, a consistent Christian must be presuppositional, and we can do this while still studying the evidence that exists for various theological truths.Support the show Check out all my links here https://linktr.ee/goodmonstersSupport the Show! https://www.patreon.com/goodmonsterSpare no Arrows on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVwB26yxtYWUopfFPhAsb8wSpare no Arrows on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sparenoarrows/Spare no Arrows on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/goodmonsterspodcastCody on Twitter https://twitter.com/wc_lawrenceSpare no Arrows on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6CqhvtMWRItkoiv8ZrJ6zVSpare no Arrows on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spare-no-arrows/id1528869516Podcast Episodes on Buzzsprout https://www.buzzsprout.com/1300948/episodes

Epistemology is the field in Philosophy that focuses on what Knowledge is, how we know (or whether we know) what we think we know. Get ready to go a million miles an hour with professional epistemologist Dr. Trent Dougherty, editor of the Oxford University Press book "Evidentialism and Its Discontents" available for purchase here on Nile, Mississippi, or whatever river you get you books from. E.g., https://www.amazon.com/Evidentialism-its-Discontents-Trent-Dougherty-ebook/dp/B00AQH7F8W/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3BM8FK58OQ5DX&keywords=trent+dougherty&qid=1645212085&sprefix=trent+dou%2Caps%2C119&sr=8-3 We ask him how we know things, what counts as good evidence, what the definition of opinion and knowledge is, is "publish or perish" good for Higher Education , how does one make it as a professional philosopher , and whether sense experience is required for having knowledge . He lists some of the great names in his journey, including Edmund Gettier, the three "RF"s --Richard Fumerton, Richard Foley, and his dissertation chair Richard Feldman--who were almost as important as the late, great Roderick Chisholm. Enjoy also the personal anecdotes in the last half where he shares how he became interested in Philosophy after his conversion to Christianity from paganism, and how he got interested in Epistemology in particular.

A discussion of miracles and Presuppositionalism vs. Evidentialism

A discussion of miracles and Presuppositionalism vs. Evidentialism

Okay, so you’ve decided you want to get better at standing up for what you believe. You’re going go hone your skill at defending your faith and sharing the Gospel. And you’ve discovered the world of apologetics—the discipling vindicating Christian truth against challenges and objections—but now you’ve hit a roadblock… because you’ve discovered (gasp) there are different ways of going about this. See, on the one hand you’ve got “classicalists” who swear by the Kalam Cosmological Argument, and on the other hand you’ve got “evidentialists” who do a great job of giving evidence to prove the “case for faith.” But then on the other other hand, you’ve got presuppositionalist guys like Joel Settecase, who don’t seem to get along well with either of the other groups. So who’s right? Which apologetics method is best? This episode is going to give you the answer. Or at least, it will give you more grist for the mill of your mind, as you work out for yourself what school of apologetics thought you want to align yourself with. That’s because today two Christian apologists are going to have a robust dialogue about methodology, each one presenting his own preferred method and interacting with the other. Specifically, you’ll find out… The backstory of Dean Meadows, how he got into apologetics and what prompted him to launch the Daily Apologist. What exciting work the Daily Apologist is up to right now, and how you can get involved. Why Dean takes a more evidentialist approach to defending Christian truth, why he uses classical arguments—and why he isn’t a presuppositionalist. Whether Joel and Dean think that evidentialism and presuppositionalism are irreconcilable. How Joel "switched teams” from classical and evidentialism to practice #datpresup. Which approach is more biblical, and which one has cooler hashtags. Much more. Joel’s guest today is Dean Meadows. Dean serves as the Executive Director of The Daily Apologist. He holds a B.A. in Theology from the Bear Valley Bible Institute International; B.S. in Bible/Ministry from Amridge University; and an M.A. in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. He's currently pursuing a MSc in Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Dean served in the United State Marine Corps Reserve for six years and deployed to Iraq in 2006. He is married to Hillary Meadows and they have two kids with very pretty names: Nora-Grace and Wren-Mercy. It’s time to dive into this fascinating topic. Get ready to think.

Apologetics? Evidentialism? Presuppositionalism? Evangelism? Say what? See what 1 Corinthians can contribute to these important issues!

Megan Fritts is a philosopher at Utah State University. In this episode, Megan talks with Charles about her work on moral perfectionism, non-causal action theory, and partial evidentialism. She addresses why beliefs are tricky, theory of knowledge is boring, and her husband is most likely not a serial killer—and how human lives are like chess pieces but not the ones spontaneously melting.

Can the fact that something is morally wrong to believe affect whether the evidence you have justifies that belief? In her paper, Georgi Gardiner argues that the answer is "no". We should follow the evidence where it leads and align our beliefs with the evidence. And if we do that, she argues, we’ll discover that morally wrong beliefs—such as racist beliefs--simply don’t align with the evidence. On this view, racist beliefs are irrational because they are unsupported by evidence or reflect cognitive errors in statistical reasoning, not because they are immoral.

My contention is that no such belief can exist. If a belief is morally wrong then there is some corresponding prior epistemic error. The belief is not well supported by the evidence and/or it is not interpreted through a morally appropriate understanding, and that understanding is not epistemically well supported. If a belief is epistemically well supported it cannot be racist since no true fact is genuinely racist. With the right background understanding we see that since everyone is equal, any differences based on gender, race, and so on are morally insignificant." Special Guest: Georgi Gardiner.

Switching it up from the deepness of Existentialism to the new subject of Epistemology.  We about knowledge of "how" and knowledge of "that", and we tackle a tongue twister from Aristotle on the nature of truth.And did you know that Reliabilism, Evidentialism, and Infallibilism are schools of thought that actually exist?  Oh wait - did I just slip back into Existentialism?  Enjoy!   Jeff

The number of Christians that know what the word apologetics means is growing, thanks primarily to technology. But many don't understand that there are different approaches to defending your faith. While some of these approaches overlap, some have important distinctions that affect the way we should defend and commend the faith. This episode explores the differences between various approaches to apologetics.

During the summer break, TMR shares another exclusive presentation by the highly-esteemed Christian philosopher Dr. William Lane Craig - this time a Q&A session on his work in Christian philosophy and apologetics. I take the opportunity to share a few items of interest and concern from the media. Back in 2011, my wife and I had the opportunity to go with Reasonable Faith (the organisation headed up by Dr. Craig) on a guided tour of Israel. On many of the evenings back at the hotel Dr. Craig would give a talk, sometimes sharing his reflections upon the historical sites we had visited, but sometimes speaking on broader issues to do with Christian philosophy and apologetics. In this session, Dr. Craig invites questions from the floor regarding arguments he frequently defends in the public square.

In this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity Broadcast, J. Warner traces the rich evidential history of Christianity. Unlike other theistic worldviews, Christianity is grounded in the historical events of the first century. As a result, the Christian worldview can be tested unlike any other.
