Even if one might be convinced that reason can lead us to God, there remains the very real difficulty of the problem of evil. How can evil exist if an all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful God exists? There are finally no easy answers to this question. Our guest again this week, author and philosopher Dr. Josh Rasmussen, shares with us his personal and philosophical perspectives on how he has negotiated this difficult issue, both through analytical arguments and through his own personal suffering. Philosophy, as it turns out, isn't just a dry academic exercise, but part of what constitutes the grand narrative of the very Gospel itself, a love of wisdom. Joshua Rasmussen, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Azusa Pacific University. His area of expertise is analytic metaphysics, with a focus on basic categories of reality, such as objects, ideas, and necessary existence. He is author of several books, including Defending the Correspondence Theory of Truth (Cambridge University Press, 2014), Necessary Existence (with Pruss; Oxford University Press, 2015), How Reason Can Lead to God (IVP Academic, 2019), and Is God the Best Explanation of Things (with Felipe Leon, Palgrave 2019). He is also the founder of the Worldview Design YouTube channel, which helps people use reason to address the big questions of life.Related Links: Free access to some related Watchman Profiles: Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Atheism by Dr. Robert Bowman: watchman.org/Atheism Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Agnosticism by W.

What is reason? How might it lead us to God? In Acts chapter 17, the Apostle Paul attempted to reason with the Athenian philosophers about the resurrection of Jesus. Some scoffed, but some listened. How does reason inform our understanding of God? Can a person come to know that God exists through means of reasonable arguments? And how does reason fit in with what we know about God?  On the next two episodes of the Profile we talk with author and philosopher Dr. Josh Rasmussen, about his 2019 book How Reason Can Lead to God. We hope you will discover how reason and even philosophy are integral parts of the greatest story ever told.Joshua Rasmussen, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Azusa Pacific University.

What are you really? What is a person? How can reason and science shed light on these questions? How can persons originate? Dr. Josh Rasmussen joins us to discuss his new book-length investigation into these topics.  The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.   John DeRosa www.classicaltheism.com/support   Support the show: Check out my book One Less God Than You: How to Answer the Slogans, Cliches, and Fallacies that Atheists Use to Challenge Your Faith >> www.classicaltheism.com/newbook   Support on Patreon to help keep the podcast going and to allow me to produce even more quality content: www.classicaltheism.com/support

We sit down with leading analytic philosopher of religion Prof. Josh Rasmussen to discuss Leibnizian cosmological arguments. We also bring on a special guest, Logos, to facilitate a dialogue with Prof. Rasmussen as we all journey together to explore the very cutting edge of this important debate. This dialogue pushes the dialectic forward in ways that can benefit both theists and atheists. You can follow Prof. Josh Rasmussen's work at: https://joshualrasmussen.com/ Be sure to check out Prof. Rasmussen's magisterial work Necessary Existence: https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198746898.001.0001/oso-9780198746898 You can find Logos's work on his blog, which provides some context for the discussion.

What is consciousness? What are thoughts? How can we analyze thoughts using the tools of reason and introspection? How do thoughts and consciousness point us beyond what is purely material? Can an argument inspired by Cantor's mathematical work serve us in the philosophy of mind? What does current work in neuroscience say on these topics? Dr. Josh Rasmussen joins the show again to discuss these ideas as we examine his forthcoming book. Support the show here >> www.classicaltheism.com/support

In this video, I respond to Cosmic Skeptic's video "Christianity's Biggest Problem." Alex's original video: https://youtu.be/5KDnnp0sDkI DESCRIPTION #1: The example Grandin cites comes from a book on this, Antoinio R. Damasio "Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason and the Human Brain." And she also cites for the chapter as a whole "Freeman, W., and J.W. Watts. 1950. 'Psychosurgery in the Treatment of Mental Disorders and Intractable Pain.' Springfield, IL: Charles C. Thomas Publisher." Also, just as a general rule, if you just google leucotomies and pain you'll find all kinds of stuff on this connection between leucotomy patients and people reporting reduced suffering. They did leucotomies in the 50s and 60s and they were way weird. DESCRIPTION #2: “A hypothesis h suffers from probabilistic tension if and only if h is logically equivalent to some conjunctive hypothesis, h1& h2, such that either P(h1| h2) is [greatly lesser than] 1 or P(h2| h1) is [greatly lesser than] 1: that is, one conjunct of the hypothesis is very unlikely, conditioned on the other conjunct. Among other things, a hypothesis h that suffers from probabilistic tension will be very unlikely: since P(h) = P(h1& h2) = P(h1| h2) x P(h2) = P(h2| h1) x P(h1), it follows that if P(h1| h2) is [greatly lesser than] 1 or P(h2| h1) is [greatly lesser than] 1, then P(h) is [greatly lesser than] 1.” In our case, atheism represents h. If h is really the conjunction of Atheism & Evolution, as Alex assumes, then we can represent Atheism as h1 and Evolution as h2. Since the probability of Evolution on Atheism is very unlikely, the probability of h2 given h1 is also very unlikely. Following Collins, this leads us to conclude that the intrinsic probability of h is very unlikely. DESCRIPTION #3: BOOKS: -Animal Suffering and the Darwinian Problem of Evil by John Schneider -God, Evolution and Animal Suffering by Bethany Sollereder -The Groaning of Creation: God, Evolution and the Problem of Evil by Christopher Southgate -Animal Suffering and the Problem of Evil by Nicola Hoggard Creegan -Thomism and the Problem of Animal Suffering by Kyle Keltz DISSERTATIONS: -The Problem of Evil and Animal Suffering: A Case Study by Faith Pawl -All Creation Groans: A Theodicy for Suffering Animals by Matthew Douglass OTHER RESOURCES: -The Problem of Evil by Peter van Inwagen (has a chapter on animal pain) -A Random-Based Theodicy for Evolutionary Evils by Josh Rasmussen and J. Wesling -Certain global theodicies: e.g. skeptical theism, multiverse models, etc. DESCRIPTION #4: Why Didn't God Just Create Everyone in Heaven?? - https://youtu.be/kOmOLre6CyM DESCRIPTION #5: http://dustincrummett.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/philosophy-of-religion-for-all-final-version-4-13-2019-1.pdf DESCRIPTION #6: There aren't a lot of arguments for the conclusion that animals are essentially non-rational, and the ones that exist are not very good.

Is belief in God unreasonable and irrational? Or could reason actually lead us to the belief that not only does God exist, but also that He knows and loves me? The Catholic Church's Catechism teaches that "man's faculties (reason, etc.) make him capable of coming to a knowledge of the existence of a personal God." While belief in God as three Persons in one is a matter of faith, the knowledge of a personal God has been proclaimed by the Church as something which can come about through the light of pure reason.

Many people on the bike struggle with some sort of bodily pain, but very few actually take the necessary measures to correct the pain. That's right, most pain you experience can be corrected. And in this episode, that's exactly what we dive into with our brand-new Dialed Health trainer, Josh Rasmussen, who specializes in corrective exercises for cyclist. We cover strength protocols to fix everything from shoulder impingement and upper cross syndrome, to low back pain and knee pain. We also explain the difference between tendinosis and tendonitis, and why it's important not to confuse the two. I personally love this conversation. It was so fun for me as a trainer to have the trainer camaraderie again. I used to get it when working in gyms with other trainers and since opening my own studio, that's something I've been missing. I think when listening, you'll be able to pick up on mine excitement. I progressively get more and more fired up as the conversation goes on as we share some very valuable and specific protocols for overcoming these pain points. If you struggle with any sort of pain on your bike, or in your life, this episode is for you. What we discuss: 6:30 - What is a shoulder impingement and what causes it? 9:15 - How to heal a shoulder impingement 15:30 - What's upper cross syndrome and how is it caused? 16:30 - How to heal Upper across Syndrome 21:00 - How drop bars encourage poor posture and what to do about it 24:00 - What's causing low back pain? 26:00 - What to do to ease your low back pain 30:00 - Crossover between low back pain and hip pain 35:00 - Testing back and core control 39:00 - Stretches for easing back pain 40:00 - What causes patella pain? 45:00 - The difference between tendonosis and tendonitis 52:00 - Rapid fire questions Check out our brand-new Total Body Corrective Exercise Program with Josh here: https://dialedhealth.com/programs

Pat Flynn is joined by professional philosopher and professor Dr. Robert Delfino to discuss Thomas Aquinas and his famous "proofs" for the existence of God, particularly the 3rd way argument from possibility and necessity.  In this episode: What is metaphysics? And how does the knowledge philosophy gives us differ from that which is arrived at through the physical sciences? What did Aquinas mean by "proof"? The argument from possibility and necessity for God's existence and transcendent nature (Aquinas's famous 3rd way) Overcoming common misunderstandings and objections to the argument What can philosophical arguments reveal about the nature of God? Finally, does this "god of the philosopher" correspond in any significant way to the God of the Bible?

Is it possible -- like really possible -- to know not only that God exists, but something about God through reason alone? Pat is joined by at least one professional philosophy who says yes: Dr. Josh Rasmussen. Not only does Dr. Rasmussen hold that we can know that God exists, but that we can establish as much through pure logic. From there, we can even learn something about what God must be like, simply by working our back from our own experience to a necessarily existing, and conscious, foundation to reality.  ...

It's philosophy week on The Pat Flynn Show, and today we're looking at a classic argument that attempts to answer the question: Why is there something rather than nothing? (If you enjoyed the episode with Dr. Josh Rasmussen or Dr. Delfino, then you are going to equally enjoy this!) This argument has deep roots, and has been developed and presented in many forms over the centuries as evidence for God by thinkers ranging from Thomas Aquinas to Gottfried Wilhelm Libneiz and many more. Today, I'm joined by Cameron Bertuzzi of Capturing Christianity to hear his presentation and defense of the argument--what it is, and what we can learn from it.  Show Notes and Resources If you enjoy this sort of conversation, be sure to grab Cameron's free eBook, The Rationality of Christian Theism, over at his website, Capturing Christianity. http://capturingchristianity.com/about-capturing-christianity/ Related Episodes Using Philosophy to Get at God with Dr. Robert Delfino http://www.chroniclesofstrength.com/sunday-school-ep-12-using-philosophy-get-god-dr-robert-delfino-pat-flynn-show/ Answering Life's Biggest Questions with Dr. Josh Rasmussen http://www.chroniclesofstrength.com/ep-159-answering-lifes-biggest-questions-dr-josh-rasmussen-pat-flynn-show/ Support the Show!
