On this episode of ID The Future, hosts Andrew McDiarmid and Nathan Jacobson continue their conversation with Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger. In this segment, Sanger explains how his philosophy to decentralize the world's knowledge plays into science and truth-seeking in the age of AI. He talks about the shortcomings of large language models and why humans are irreplaceable and essential to increasing our understanding of the world. Sanger also discusses the challenges that online encyclopedias like Wikipedia have faced in accurately and fairly reflecting controversial or important topics. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Check out Part 1 in a separate episode! Source
On this ID The Future, Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger joins hosts Andrew McDiarmid and Nathan Jacobson to delve into his personal evolution from longtime skeptical philosopher to belief in God. After falling out of faith in his teens, Sanger became a committed skeptic and agnostic, adhering to the principle of methodological skepticism for decades as he evaluated traditional arguments for the existence of God and found them wanting. And while Sanger was unconvinced by the claims of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett, he found himself drawn to the arguments of intelligent design scientists like Stephen Meyer, Michael Behe, and William Dembski. In this first half of a conversation, Sanger recounts his fascinating intellectual journey while unpacking the intelligent design arguments he found most convincing along his journey. This is Part 1 of a two-part interview. Look for Part 2 in a separate episode. Source

Wikipedia is no longer what it used to be. Co-founder Larry Sanger joins James Poulos to discuss how Big Tech hijacked the website to push establishment narratives and increased censorship. Sanger explains the deep biases within Wikipedia, the war on free information, and why the platform can no longer be trusted. With the rise of AI misinformation and the government's need for control over knowledge, Sanger discusses how the internet has been manipulated before our very eyes, turning Wikipedia into a propaganda machine. What does this mean for the future of one of the largest encyclopedic search engines? With Big Tech's control over “neutrality” and data preservation, the internet is no longer a free space for information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Larry Sanger is the co-founder of Wikipedia, and he recently published his testimony online. TGC's Trevin Wax shared his highlights, and I wanted to share my reflections and resolutions after reading it.Script:First, I am resolved to answer questions. I teach high school Sunday School, and Sanger specifically pointed out that his questions as a youth were met with contempt. I don't want to be a teacher who discourages questions. Instead, I want to encourage them.Second, I am resolved to witness well. Sanger said that some of his favorite people were Christians, and some of them were extremely intelligent. He found this strange, and I want to be that type of believer! I often forget that how we live really does have an impact on people's perception of faith.Third, I am resolved to preach and teach God's Word. Sanger was surprised that the Bible could withstand interrogation — and that it was interesting to him! I want to preach and teach in such a way that God's Word can speak for itself and remain engaging.Video and transcript:https://www.diveindigdeep.com/blog/how-does-a-skeptical-philosopher-become-a-christianShownotes:https://larrysanger.org/2025/02/how-a-skeptical-philosopher-becomes-a-christian/https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/trevin-wax/wikipedias-founder-converts-christianity/Links:https://www.diveindigdeep.com/https://newsletter.diveindigdeep.com/https://www.instagram.com/diveindigdeephttps://www.youtube.com/@soundwordsfm https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/soundwords

In this episode, I talked with Larry Sanger. Larry is the co-founder of Wikipedia and received his PhD in Philosophy from Ohio State University. We discussed his conversion to Christianity, and more specifically, how the Bible brought him to a deeper understanding of the truth and Jesus Christ. We talked about how, in his younger days, he found the philosopher, Ayn Rand, and her objectivist worldview to be a somewhat compelling worldview. We also discussed how he interprets and studies the Bible.

In today's episode, we sit down with Wikipedia co-founder, philosopher, and writer Larry Sanger to discuss his journey and testimony as he went from being an atheist to believing in God through reading the Bible. He tells us about his upbringing in the Lutheran Church and how his philosophical questioning led him to become an atheist. Larry also discusses how his own philosophical writings later in life led him to start questioning his beliefs and how he watched atheism become almost dogmatic in nature. We talk about how he read the Bible for the first time and how that led him to understand God and salvation through Jesus Christ. Larry's testimony shows us how even the hardest philosophical questions can lead someone to Christ.

In this episode Nathan and Cameron dive into the fascinating story of Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia, who recently made waves in theologically-informed online communities by publicly sharing his journey to Christianity. With a background in philosophy and technology, Sanger's testimony is a unique, intellectually rigorous exploration of his spiritual transformation, structured into chapters for easy navigation. The discussion delves into Sanger's skepticism, his critical engagement with both the new atheism and traditional apologetics, and his eventual embrace of Christianity. This analysis serves as a compelling example of how apologetics can influence even the most analytical minds.LARRY SANGERS CONVERSION BLOG: https://larrysanger.org/2025/02/how-a-skeptical-philosopher-becomes-a-christian/DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.
It's Friday, February 14th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus and Jonathan Clark Myanmar's military bombed Catholic cathedral The ruling military regime in Myanmar bombed a newly designated Catholic cathedral earlier this month, reports International Christian Concern. The Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, located in Mindat, Chin State, was designated as a cathedral by Pope Francis on January 25 — just two weeks before it was bombed on February 6. The bombing destroyed the cathedral's roof and blew out the windows, rendering the building unusable. Fortunately, the area had been evacuated in anticipation of the attack, and no deaths were reported. Chin State is the country's only Christian-majority state, with about 85% of the population ascribing to the faith. Nearly 90% of Myanmar's overall population is Buddhist. According to Open Doors, Myanmar is the 13th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. More Evangelicals growing in number in Costa Rica Evangelical Focus reports that a new study shows Evangelicals are increasing in Costa Rica, an historically Catholic country. Fifty percent of the Central American country's population identify as Catholic. Thirty-three percent identify as Evangelical. This comes despite 73% of respondents saying they were raised Catholic and 23% saying they were raised Evangelical. Evangelical Costa Ricans are also more likely to be younger and attend church weekly. One-third of world's population now identify as Christian Lifeway Research shared several encouraging trends for global Christianity this year based on a report from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. First, the number of Christians continues to grow, reaching 2.64 billion this year, about one-third of the world's population. Second, the growth of the religiously unaffiliated is slowing and even projected to decrease in the coming decades. Third, Evangelicals are the fastest growing Christian group, projected to reach 620 million by 2050. Fourth, Christianity is growing the fastest in the Global South, especially in Africa and Asia. Africa is projected to have the largest Christian population by 2050. And fifth, the percentage of the world's population without access to the Gospel has fallen to 27%. That's down from 54% in 1900. Psalm 22:27-28 says, “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You. For the kingdom is the LORD's, and He rules over the nations.” RFK, Jr confirmed as Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose nomination by President Donald Trump as Secretary of Health and Human Services was highly scrutinized by lawmakers, was confirmed to that post by the Senate on February 13 in a 52–48 vote, reports The Epoch Times. PRESIDING OFFICER: “On this vote, the yeas are 52, the nays are 48. The confirmation is confirmed.” Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, a polio survivor who previously voiced concerns about Kennedy's vaccine views, voted against confirming Kennedy. He was the only Republican to cast a no vote. Kennedy will head the Department of Health and Human Services, which manages 13 agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institutes of Health. Kennedy has promised significant changes throughout the department which has a $1.8 trillion dollar annual budget. Under the “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, Kennedy aims to curtail what he calls the chronic disease epidemic, removing toxic chemicals from the nation's food supply, overhauling dietary guidelines, and taking aim at ultra-processed foods, reports FoxNews.com. The Children's Health Defense founder has also called for a review of advertising rules for pharmaceutical companies and has urged Trump to ban pharmaceutical advertising on TV. He also believes in eliminating liability protections for drug companies. Kennedy told The Epoch Times in September that he would revamp the National Institutes of Health to focus on the causes of autism, autoimmune diseases, and neurodevelopment diseases instead of developing drugs and serving as an incubator for pharmaceutical products. RFK, Jr.: “God sent me President Trump” Before Robert F. Kennedy, Jr was sworn in as the new Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Oval Office, he offered praise for Trump's gutsy leadership. KENNEDY: “For 20 years, I'm up every morning on my knees and prayed that God would put me in a position where I can end the childhood, chronic disease epidemic in this country. On August 23 of last year, God sent me President Trump. “He's kept every promise that he's made to me. I'm so grateful to you, Mr. President. A lot of people told me that I couldn't trust President Trump. I better get it in writing, and we did a handshake, and everything that he told me he was going to do, he has done. “I genuinely believe that you are a pivotal historical figure, and you are going to transform this country. President Trump has promised to restore the American Dream in this country. A healthy person has a thousand dreams. A sick person only has one. 60% of our population has only one dream – that they get better. “President Trump has promised that he's going to restore America's strength. But we can't be a strong nation if we have a weak citizenry. 60% of our people are sick. 77% of our children cannot qualify for military service. “We need a man on a white horse now. We need somebody who is willing to come in and has the spine and the guts and the strength to challenge orthodoxies, to stand in the way of vested interests, and to break institutions that have turned against our democracy. President Trump has shown again and again that he is that hero. We need a revolutionary figure, and you are that figure. And I'm very grateful for you for giving me this opportunity.” Wikipedia founder comes to Christ And finally, Larry Sanger, the 56-year-old co-founder of Wikipedia in 2001 who grew up in the Lutheran Church, has been a lifelong religious skeptic until his conversion to the Christian faith in 2020, reports The Christian Post. An agnostic, he became intrigued by philosophical arguments for God's existence, particularly the "First Cause" argument, according to a new blog on his personal website. He began to personally study the Scriptures for himself, downloaded the YouVersion Bible app, “and immediately made Bible study a serious hobby.” Christian apologists Stephen Meyer and William Lane Craig made him think deeply. After devouring the four gospels, Sanger said in 2020, “I should admit to myself that I now believe in God, and pray to God properly.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."

Gov. Gavin Newsom asks Joe Biden to focus on combating "misinformation" about the wildfires in California. That's what he wants to prioritize as his state is burning to the ground???Biden blasts Zuckerberg for replacing fact-checkers with “Community Notes,” calling the move “shameful.”Mark Zuckerberg says the Biden admin called his employees and “screamed and cursed” at them to take down Covid/vaccine content. They wanted Meta to censor memes too. When he pushed back, the Biden regime started investigating his companies. “It was brutal.”Today Mark Zuckerberg admitted in writing that the Biden Admin pressured Facebook to censor Covid-19 content. Here is Mayorkas lying about it under oath in 2022. 100% absolutely committing perjury. When is Mayorkas going to prison?
Le nom "Wikipedia" est un mot-valise formé de deux éléments : "wiki" et "encyclopedia" (encyclopédie en anglais). 1. "Wiki" :Le terme "wiki" vient du mot hawaïen "wiki-wiki", qui signifie "rapide" ou "vite". Il a été popularisé dans le domaine de l'informatique par le programmeur Ward Cunningham, qui a créé en 1995 le premier site web collaboratif appelé WikiWikiWeb. Un wiki est un type de site web qui permet aux utilisateurs de modifier directement son contenu, favorisant ainsi la collaboration et l'échange d'informations. 2. "Encyclopedia" (encyclopédie) :Le terme "encyclopedia" fait référence à une œuvre contenant un ensemble structuré de connaissances, organisé de manière à offrir une vue d'ensemble sur divers sujets. Une encyclopédie traditionnelle est souvent un ouvrage volumineux, avec des articles informatifs sur une large gamme de sujets, écrits par des experts. 3. Origine du nom "Wikipedia" :Jimmy Wales et Larry Sanger, les fondateurs de Wikipedia, ont lancé le projet en janvier 2001. Leur idée initiale était de créer une encyclopédie libre et collaborative, mais ils cherchaient un modèle qui permettrait aux utilisateurs de participer facilement à la création et à l'édition des articles. Le terme "Wikipedia" a donc été créé en combinant le concept de "wiki", une plateforme rapide et collaborative, avec celui d'"encyclopedia", reflétant la nature encyclopédique du projet. Wikipedia s'est distinguée des encyclopédies traditionnelles en adoptant un format où n'importe qui, dans le monde entier, pouvait éditer et contribuer aux articles, ce qui en a fait l'une des sources d'information les plus dynamiques et accessibles. Anecdote: Voici une autre anecdote amusante : en 2008, Wikipedia a failli fermer temporairement à cause d'un article sur un sandwich. Il s'agit de l'article sur le "peanut butter and jelly sandwich" (sandwich au beurre de cacahuètes et à la confiture). Un débat intense a éclaté entre les contributeurs sur la formulation exacte et la nécessité de l'article, menant à des guerres d'édition répétées et à des discussions enflammées. La situation a dégénéré au point où les administrateurs de Wikipedia ont dû intervenir pour calmer les esprits. L'article a survécu et est encore en ligne aujourd'hui, mais cela montre comment des sujets apparemment anodins peuvent parfois créer de vives controverses sur la plateforme. En résumé, Wikipedia signifie littéralement une encyclopédie collaborative rapide, où "wiki" représente l'aspect ouvert et modifiable par les utilisateurs, et "pedia" renvoie à l'encyclopédie.

Du 27 mars au 1er avril 2023, c'est la Semaine de la presse et des médias dans l'École. Images Doc y participe en te proposant cet épisode de “Qui a inventé ?” sur l'encyclopédie Wikipédia, que tu as sans doute déjà utilisée pour faire tes exposés. C'est quoi, une encyclopédie ? Pour comprendre ce qu'est une encyclopédie, voici la définition de Denis Diderot, un grand savant et penseur français, auteur, avec Jean d'Alembert, d'une encyclopédie universelle au 18e siècle : “Le but est de rassembler les connaissances éparses sur la surface de la terre ; d'en exposer le système général aux hommes avec qui nous vivons, et de le transmettre aux hommes qui viendront après nous.” En résumé, c'est un livre qui regroupe les savoirs, les connaissances que l'être humain a accumulées au cours de l'Histoire. L'encyclopédie de Diderot et d'Alembert rassemble 72 000 articles écrits par les plus grands experts de l'époque dans 32 énormes livres. Ça leur a pris 25 ans ! Une idée lumineuse Au début du 21e siècle, Jimmy Wales, un homme d'affaires américain, a l'idée de créer une encyclopédie gratuite sur internet. Larry Sanger, l'un de ses employés, a une idée lumineuse. Il propose de lancer un “wiki”. En informatique, un “wiki”, c'est un site web où tout le monde peut créer ou modifier les pages. On dit que c'est un site collaboratif. D'où le nom Wikipédia : “Wiki”, pour la collaboration, et “Pedia“ comme dans “encyclopedia“ (encyclopédie en anglais). Wikipédia est ainsi créée en 2001. Wikipédia, une encyclopédie écrite par tout le monde À la différence de l'Encyclopédie de Diderot, rédigée par des savants, Wikipédia est écrite par des gens comme toi et moi. Un article doit toujours être vérifié et validé par d'autres “wikipédiens” et il faut “citer ses sources”, c'est-à-dire indiquer les références, les informations qui ont permis d'écrire l'article. Comment vérifier une information ? Wikipédia n'est pas toujours infaillible, c'est donc très important de vérifier ses sources et de faire attention à certains indices ! Sur une page Wikipédia, en haut à droite, tu trouveras un lien “Lire l'historique”. Tu y verras le nom de toutes les personnes qui ont écrit ou modifié l'article et à quelle date… C'est en regardant ces informations qu'on s'est rendu compte que certains hommes politiques tentent de contrôler ce qui est écrit sur Wikipédia en modifiant eux-mêmes leur page. Des pays comme la Chine vont même plus loin : ils bloquent l'accès à Wikipédia, parce qu'ils ne veulent pas que leurs habitants aient accès à tout ce savoir et à cette liberté. Où chercher de l'information pour tes exposés ? Wikipédia propose plus de 60 millions d'articles, dans plus de 300 langues. Il y en a sur tout… : pratique pour tes exposés ! Mais cela fait beaucoup d'informations, et tu risques d'être un peu perdu(e). Il existe une encyclopédie plus simple pour les enfants : elle s'appelle Vikidia. Le principe reste le même : c'est gratuit et collaboratif ! Attention, il ne faut pas que ça t'empêche de chercher des informations ailleurs. Quand tu fais un exposé, appuie-toi sur d'autres sources sérieuses : des livres d'experts reconnus sur un sujet, ou des articles écrits par des gens dont c'est le métier (des journalistes, des chercheurs…).

Where did it all go wrong with Wikipedia? Listen to this awesome discussion with Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger.
As the UN confirms that more than three million refugees have fled Ukraine, Neil Oliver gets an expert's view on the country's history. Also in the show, Neil talks with Larry Sanger, a co-founder of Wikipedia, who says the site can no longer be viewed as a source of completely non-biased information. Almost 50 years on from when man last walked on the moon, we look at NASA's plans to send a crew back to the lunar surface. All this, and more, in Neil Oliver Live.
