Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Dawkins

Épisode 1502 : En ce moment, il y a une pièce orange dans laquelle Internet fait entrer absolument n'importe qui. Deux personnes côte à côte, un micro suspendu, quelques gestes de rappeurs. Parfois, ce sont des personnages de fiction. Parfois, des footballeurs. Et parfois, Dominique de Villepin et Jacques Chirac.Chirac est mort en 2019. ET pourtant ce mois-ci, on l'a vu rapper. Il porte un costume sombre, se tient dans une cabine orange, et Villepin est à côté de lui. Evidemment, la vidéo est fausse, et tout le monde le sait. Des milliers de personnes l'ont partagée quand même.N'importe qui peut le faire. Mais pour que ce soit drôle, il faut savoir ce que représente cette cabine. Et ce que représente Villepin à l'ONU.Le vrai talent, c'est d'avoir la réfD'abord, c'est quoi un mèmeLe mot date de 1976. Le biologiste Richard Dawkins l'invente dans son ouvrage « Le Gène égoïste ». Il cherche un équivalent culturel du gène : une idée, un air ou un geste qui passe d'une tête à l'autre.Internet a repris le mot et l'a simplifié. Un mème, c'est un gabarit : une image, un son ou une formule qui sert de moule. Chacun le remplit à sa façon. La forme reste la même et le contenu change.Un truc important à savoir : un mème ne se regarde pas, il se reconnaît. Si vous ne connaissez pas le moule, vous ne voyez pas le détournement, et il n'y a rien de drôle.COLORS : Le moule orangeVoici le moule de cet automne. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DdrZMRbsBST/En juin 2022, Quavo et Takeoff, du groupe Migos, chantent « Hotel Lobby » sur COLORS. COLORS, c'est une chaîne YouTube connue pour sa cabine monochrome et son esthétique épurée. Pour être invité dans la cabine, il faut avoir du flow. Quelques mois plus tard, le 1er novembre 2022, Takeoff est tué à Houston.Quatre ans plus tard, en septembre 2026, la vidéo revient partout. Sauf que ce ne sont plus Quavo et Takeoff qui chantent.Comment on fabrique un mème IALa recette est très simple. On prend deux photos de visages. On ouvre une application comme Starrd ou Summrs. Ce sont des Ai Video Generators.On peut aussi se tourner Ves un modèle CapCut. On charge les images et on lance la génération. L'outil garde la chorégraphie, la synchronisation des lèvres et la bande-son d'origine. Il ne change que les têtes.Ça prend quelques minutes, sans caméra, sans montage et sans aucun savoir-faire. Il n'y a rien à apprendre.Autrefois, pour un détournement, il fallait savoir faire du Photoshop, du montage ou de l'imitation. On admirait le travail. Ce travail a disparu.-Avoir la réf est devenue la compétenceQuand fabriquer ne coûte plus rien, la valeur est dans le point de vue. Dans ce que je raconte.L'IA sait exécuter, mais elle ne sait pas quoi rapprocher de quoi. Elle ne sait pas que Villepin à l'ONU et une cabine de Rap peuvent se répondre. Plus que jamais la culture générale est un avantage créatif. Les heures passées sur YouTube, les souvenirs de la télé des années 2000, l'intérêt pour la politique : tout ça devient de la matière première.

In today's episode, Becket Cook sits down with Oxford emeritus mathematics professor and Christian apologist Dr. John Lennox to discuss his stunning new autobiography My Story. Lennox shares his dual life as a full-time missionary and Oxford academic, his Northern Ireland upbringing, mentorship under David Gooding, Cambridge years, Operation Mobilization, and famous public debates with new atheists like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. He recounts high-stakes ministry behind the Iron Curtain in Hungary and East Germany—spies, packed village churches, the Jugendweihe, a life-changing train conversation on grace versus merit, and a moving Holocaust exchange in a Budapest synagogue—plus the Nobel Prize scientist who pressured him to abandon faith.

Warren Smith told me death isn't final. Then he told me the second thing he's certain of... Warren Smith became known for questioning a student's beliefs about J.K. Rowling. In this interview, I turn that same scrutiny on his own beliefs about God, Christianity and what happens when we die. Follow Warren Smith's brilliant channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SecretScholars What starts with his viral classroom video and the fallout from losing his teaching job becomes a deeply personal conversation about faith, evidence and consciousness. Warren describes a life-changing experience involving psychedelics, explains Jordan Peterson's influence, and makes a claim about life after death that I have to challenge. We explore simulation theory, Richard Dawkins, Alex O'Connor and whether morality needs God. But when I explain where my own morals come from, Warren has a question for me. Can we apply the same standards of evidence to the beliefs we most want to be true? Watch the conversation and tell me who makes the stronger case—and which argument challenged your own thinking.

Sasha Talks with Sasha Laghonh Around the World in More Than 80 Days: Faith, Freedom, and Global Perspective with Larry Alex Taunton Author and cultural commentator Larry Alex Taunton joins Sasha Laghonh to talk about his book Around the World in More Than 80 Days, sharing stories from Nigeria to China and warning about growing threats to free speech in America. A Book Sparked By Colin Kaepernick Sasha Laghonh opens the show by introducing Larry Alex Taunton, the American author, columnist and cultural commentator known for appearances on CNN, Fox News, Al Jazeera America and the BBC, and for previous books including The Grace Effect and The Faith of Christopher Hitchens. She welcomes him to talk about his newest work, Around the World in More Than 80 Days, and asks how long the project took to complete. Taunton explains that three years of research and travel preceded roughly eight months of actual writing. Asked what prompted him to test whether America still deserves its reputation for greatness, he points to Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback whose kneeling protests and alliance with Nike struck Taunton as symptomatic of a generation ignorant of both its own opportunities and the realities of life elsewhere. He set out, he tells Sasha, to demonstrate both points at once. Mapping A Global Itinerary Sasha asks whether Taunton planned his route or improvised as he assessed each country's climate. He describes a carefully constructed itinerary built around a short list of nations that could plausibly compete for the title of world's greatest country, alongside former Marxist states and African nations grappling with the spread of Islam, chosen to give readers a fuller picture of how most of the world actually lives under some form of authoritarian rule. The project, he says, visited 35 countries in all, though eight were left out of the final book to keep it readable, with 26 countries making the cut. He credits Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days as inspiration for the adventure format, noting that his team used the same variety of transportation Phileas Fogg once did. The result, he says, is meant to entertain while quietly educating readers about the wider world beyond America's borders. Surprises, Middle Class, And Traveling Sons Despite having already visited roughly 40 countries before this trip, Taunton tells Sasha he still encountered surprises, discovering that Donald Trump carries real popularity in non-Islamic parts of Africa and that Americans are unexpectedly well liked in Vietnam. He insists the book is not a blanket celebration of the United States, since the journey also revealed things worth admiring elsewhere. Sasha asks about the American middle class compared with its counterparts abroad, and Taunton argues it remains better off, though he warns that could erode under different tax and economic policy. Two of his three sons, Christopher and Zachary, joined him for portions of the trip, though he kept them away from the most dangerous stops. Zachary documented the journey in video blogs for his own generation, and Taunton says both sons, already well traveled and loving of their country, came home with a deepened appreciation for the United States. Danger In Nigeria And A Denied Visa The conversation turns to risk, and Taunton recounts traveling to Nigeria at the invitation of a bishop to document Christian persecution, citing a figure of roughly 100,000 Christians killed globally each year, mostly by Muslims. He describes being driven six hours through territory patrolled by Fulani herdsmen militia, hidden in a darkened Toyota Sequoia, and visiting villages where families had been murdered or enslaved. He declined an offer of armed security, reasoning it would make him a bigger target, and instead relied on blending in and following local advice, noting that even a concealed handgun would be useless against the AK-47s common in such regions. Sasha asks about visa troubles tied to his profession, and Taunton reveals China denied him entry after he refused to sign a pledge not to write anything negative about the country, though he had already visited Hong Kong seven times during the trip. Warnings About Censorship And The First Amendment Asked whether the First Amendment is being abused, Taunton says he sees Chinese-style censorship taking hold in America, pointing to social media platforms shutting down accounts belonging to the sitting president, his press secretary, and The New York Post. He argues Americans have historically been trusted to weigh distasteful or sensational speech for themselves, and that ceding that judgment to tech companies is dangerous. Pressed on where the First Amendment stands in five years, he predicts the United States is drifting toward the restricted speech norms of Britain, France and Germany, and warns the Second Amendment could face similar erosion if Joe Biden is elected. He places responsibility on a culture that abandoned real dialogue in favor of silencing disagreement, cautioning listeners who cheer today's censorship that the same tools will eventually be turned on them. He also laments widespread ignorance among young Americans about the history and human cost of Marxism. Debates, Future Books, And Where To Find Him Sasha asks about Taunton's history of public debate through his nonprofit, Fixed Point Foundation, which pitted him and colleagues like John Lennox and Dinesh D'Souza against atheists including Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins and Michael Shermer. He says he now hopes to challenge media figures pushing Marxist ideas, questioning whether they are ignorant of history or simply indifferent to it. Looking ahead, he mentions a novel in progress and early notes toward a dual biography of Karl Marx and the London preacher Charles Spurgeon, contemporaries who never met but competed for the same souls. He advises aspiring writers to skip journalism school, and shares that his adopted daughter's Ukrainian passport once got her turned away in Paris despite his own American passport working fine. Sasha closes by asking listeners to find him at larryalextaunton.com and to seek out Around the World in More Than 80 Days at major retailers.

Salmo 53:1“Dice el necio en su corazón: No hay Dios. Se han corrompido, e hicieron abominable maldad; No hay quien haga bien".¿Se ha dado cuenta de que muchos de los más admirados ateos provienen de un trasfondo del área científica? Podría citar docenas - Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett y Stephen Hawking, para nombrar unos pocos. Miles de personas son admiradores del difunto Carl Sagan y su discípulo, Neil deGrass Tyson. Algunos de estos ateos son prácticamente superestrellas con seguidores que ascienden a millones.Pues bien, Charles Darwin tuvo su cuota de seguidores también. En el principio, el Origen de las Especies fue aceptado no por ningún mérito científico sino porque ofrecía una alternativa racional a lo milagroso. Los primeros seguidores de Darwin no eran científicos de la época, sino teólogos que rechazaban los milagros de la Biblia.Cada uno de los seguidores de Darwin tenía sus propios motivos para aceptar la teoría de la evolución. Pero uno de sus más notables seguidores fue Karl Marx. Como autor del Manifiesto Comunista, Marx encontró el principio de la lucha-hasta-la-muerte de la selección natural una perfecta confirmación de su propia visión de la lucha de clases del hombre. En agradecimiento, Marx, envió a Darwin una copia de su Das Kapital en 1873.Seis años más tarde, Marx escribió a Darwin, solicitando permiso para dedicarle su próximo volumen. Pero Darwin declinó el ofrecimiento, explicando que "sería doloroso para ciertos miembros de su familia si se asocia con un libro tan ateo".¡A veces me pregunto si Darwin se revolvería en su tumba si supiera de los horrores que se ha solicitado que su teoría justifique en los últimos dos siglos!Oración: Padre Celestial, no sigo a ningún hombre. En lugar de ello, Sigo a tu Hijo, Jesucristo, que murió para darme la vida eterna. Sólo Él es digno de mi alabanza. Amén.Ref: Ian T. Taylor, En la mente de los hombres: Darwin y el Nuevo Orden Mundial (TFE Publicación y Momentos de la Creación, Sexta edición, 2008).

What does the way your attention moves across a crowded restaurant have to do with why civilizations collapse? In this lecture, Jordan Peterson opens where you'd least expect a talk about God to begin—with Richard Dawkins, a problem in cognitive science, and the uncomfortable fact that there are infinitely many true things you could attend to and only a handful you ever do. From there he moves through why you'll pay money to watch a villain on a screen, what a sleeping lion has to do with your paycheck, and why a man who spent seventy-five years in his father's tent was the one who finally got the invitation. What he's building toward isn't an argument for belief in the conventional sense, but something stranger and much harder to dismiss: that you have already placed the wager, every single time you decided what was worth looking at. The only question left is what you've been aiming at all along without admitting it. This lecture was filmed on March 4th, 2024, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Almost 10 million dollars of the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy will be spent on reducing the wild goat and deer population across New Zealand's conservation landscapes. There are approximately 1.8 million wild deer and several hundred thousand wild goats across the country, costing farms hundreds of millions of dollars in damage and repair bills every year and invading native bush. Federated Farmers pest management spokesperson, Richard Dawkins spoke to John Campbell.

Parents cannot afford to ignore why so many Gen Zers are walking away from Christianity. Understanding the reasons behind this dramatic cultural shift is essential for any Christian parent hoping to nurture enduring faith in their children. In this sobering and highly relevant episode of Christian Parent/Crazy World, Catherine is joined by guest Laurie Christine (author, podcast host, and biblical parenting coach) for a deep dive into the top seven reasons Gen Z is leaving the faith. Pulling from recent Barna research, Catherine outlines the most prominent factors cited by young people, including the prevalence of evil and suffering, hypocrisy within the church, challenges regarding science, accusations that Christianity is “fairy tale,” historical injustices, church irrelevance, and personal bad experiences with Christians. Each of these issues is explored, not only in terms of what is driving the exodus but with practical suggestions and resources for parents at every stage—from young children in the home to teens on the brink of adulthood. Key Points Covered: A Crisis of Worldview in Churches Only 37% of pastors and 51% of evangelical pastors have a biblical worldview (09:24), according to the American Worldview Inventory. Parents are cautioned not to outsource spiritual formation solely to churches—home must be the primary place for faith development. The Power and Pervasiveness of Cultural Influence Social media, internet, and secular worldviews bombard kids daily, requiring parents to proactively engage in conversations about pantheism, secularism, suffering, identity, and more (10:49).

I have a hard time believing that a good God would allow so much evil or suffering in the world (29%): see EPISODE 66 w/ Dr. Douglas Groothuis 2. Christians are hypocrites (23%) 3.

Farmers have voiced concerns over the state of New Zealand's pest problem, with some saying the issue has reached 'crisis point'. Federated Farmers' latest National Pests Survey shows numbers are on the rise and that farmers are calling for a coordinated response across public and private land. Federated Farmers' pest control spokesperson Richard Dawkins says they're proposing a national strategy to cut down on pests. "That basically recognises that this is a nationwide problem, particularly around deer - they're the ones having the most impact on productive farmland."

Isaías 5:20"!Ay de los que a lo malo dicen bueno, y a lo bueno malo; que hacen de la luz tinieblas, y de las tinieblas luz; que ponen lo amargo por dulce, y lo dulce por amargo!"Tal como “Momentos de la Creación” señaló en el pasado, la evolución es una corrupción fundamental de la verdad con consecuencias de gran alcance - trabajando para socavar y destruir la moral, las culturas y los pueblos.Es por eso que no nos sorprendió cuando el abiertamente ateo y evolucionista Richard Dawkins defendió lo que él llama "la pedofilia leve". Él dice que lo experimentó por sí mismo cuando era niño, añadiendo que otros niños de su escuela habían sido manoseados por el mismo profesor. Sin embargo, él lo excuso diciendo, - "no creo que ninguno de nosotros tuvimos daños duraderos".El Servicio de Noticias Religiosas informa que Dawkins cree que el miedo a la pedofília es exagerada por la sociedad. Después de todo, si él y sus compañeros de clase no experimentaron un daño duradero del abuso sexual en la infancia, ¿qué tan malo puede ser?Pero, por supuesto, Dawkins nunca puede perder la oportunidad de darle un disparo a Dios. Dijo que las creencias religiosas fundamentalistas, como las que se encuentran en la Biblia, son en realidad una peor forma de abusar a un niño. En las propias palabras de Dawkins, "Menos mal, nunca he experimentado personalmente lo que es creer…en el infierno. Pero creo que puede ser argumentado convincentemente que la profunda convicción podría hacer que un niño tenga traumas mentales más duraderos que la vergüenza temporal del abuso físico leve".Como usted puede ver, la evolución realmente tiene consecuencias de largo alcance que tocan cada aspecto de nuestra vida, lanza normas absolutas de la moralidad por la puerta. Y, puede incluso llegar a convertir a un profesor de Oxford en defensor de la pedofilia.Oración: ¡Padre Celestial, mientras que los no creyentes Te regañan por decirnos del infierno, Te agradezco que nos hayas alertado acerca del infierno y por proporcionarnos un Salvador para que nosotros no vayamos allí! En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.Ref: Aby Ohlheiser, "Richard Dawkins defiende la pedofilia “leve”, una y otra vez", el cable.

He and his colleagues (Jennifer Howk and Richard Seidel) have developed a revolutionary method for approaching life challenges and improving self-confidence and self-esteem. They describe their approach as Esteem Dynamics — an approach with clinical insights derived from evolutionary psychology. Central figures having major influence on the development of Esteem Dynamics include Richard Dawkins, John Tooby and Leda Cosmides, David Buss, Robert Trivers, Steven Pinker, and Geoffrey Miller. All of these individuals are considered world-leading theorists in evolutionary theory and human psychology. Somewhat surprisingly, insights from these trailblazers has yet to reach mainstream clinical psychology, and thus major advances stemming from some of the world's greatest thinkers have yet to be systematically applied to problems of helping people improve their lives. Esteem Dynamics is the first such effort, and weds Dr. Lisle's 30-years of clinical experience to the deep insights into human nature only recently available via evolutionary psychology. Dr. Lisle received his undergraduate education from the University of California, San Diego. He completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Virginia, and was then appointed Lecturer in Psychology at Stanford University. His research and clinical interests include health and wellness, self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, the treatment of anxiety and depression, the genetics of individual differences, and optimizing achievement motivation. In addition to his work with Esteem Dynamics, Dr. Lisle lectures widely on health and wellness.

In this episode, I explore what death has to teach us about being fully alive, prompted by the recent death of mountaineer Nirmal "Nims" Purja in an avalanche in Pakistan. Starting with Richard Dawkins' reminder that "we are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones," I reflect on why there is nothing ordinary about an ordinary life — and why so many of us still leave the winning lottery ticket of being alive sitting in a drawer. I share the Buddha's teaching on mindfulness of death, where only the monks practicing at the timescale of a single mouthful or a single breath are called truly awake, along with the five remembrances, the Pali words samvega (the jolt when mortality gets real) and pasada (the settled confidence that the jolt can become a path), and the bardo teaching from The Tibetan Book of the Dead that we are dying and being born in every moment. Ultimately, I suggest the audacity to live isn't about risk but about honesty — living a life true to yourself, the thing Bronnie Ware's dying patients regretted missing most — and about a legacy measured not in accomplishments but in leaving people better than we found them. The invitation this week: once a day, pause and remember, "I will die, and I don't know when," and notice what that does to the next ten minutes of your life.Explore more at eightfoldpath.com: full transcripts, guided meditations, courses, and Noah AI, an AI you can chat with about any episode or teaching.

This study addresses the objection that God is unjust for commanding the destruction of the Canaanites and Amalekites by arguing that these actions were acts of divine justice rather than genocide. It contends that human critics like Richard Dawkins lack a consistent moral standard within a naturalistic worldview to judge God's character. The study emphasizes that these nations had 400 years to repent but remained wicked, justifying their judgment under God's sovereign authority. By comparing this to the punishment of Israel and the destruction of Jerusalem, the text asserts that God applies the same standard of justice to His own people as He does to Gentiles. Ultimately, the message calls for submission to Scripture over human autonomy when evaluating difficult biblical accounts.

Political theology is finally having its moment — every op-ed columnist reaching for Christian nationalism, every neoreactionary tech founder invoking the katechon, every mainline pastor watching JD Vance lecture the Pope about just war doctrine, every abolitionist community organizer working the intersection between the sacred and the political. And yet almost no one seems to know what political theology actually is. Luke Bretherton and Vincent Lloyd — two of the three co-authors of a genuinely important new Columbia University Press book, What Is Political Theology? — sat down with me to explain what they had done. The book itself models the thing it argues for: three scholars from three disciplines refusing to synthesize their differences and instead sitting inside the productive tension. In one hour we cover why the standard Carl Schmitt genealogy needs to be de-centered, what from above and from below are actually good for, why secularism is not a neutral space but an ideology, what Peter Thiel's Antichrist lectures accidentally reveal, why Richard Dawkins now identifies as a cultural Christian, and what the difference between apophatic and cataphatic is currently doing to Luke's and Vincent's friendship. Live disagreement, on tape. The nice version. You can watch the video on YouTube Dr. Luke Bretherton is Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology at the University of Oxford, one of the most senior chairs in British theology, appointed by the Crown. Previously, he was Robert E. Cushman Distinguished Professor of Moral and Political Theology at Duke Divinity School. An ordained Church of England priest. Dr. Vincent W. Lloyd is Professor of Theology and Religious Studies and Director of the Center for Political Theology at Villanova University, and an editor of the journal Political Theology.  The book at the center of this conversation is What Is Political Theology?, co-authored with Dr. Valentina Napolitano, Professor of Anthropology and Connaught Scholar at the University of Toronto, whose chapter offers an anthropological political theology out of her research on global Catholicism, migration, and the U.S./Canada borderlands.

Rick Collins, Esq., NSCA-CSCS, is a lawyer who defends the nutrition and fitness community, a partner at Collins Gann McCloskey & Barry PLLC, and General Counsel to the International Society of Sports Nutrition. Peptides are everywhere right now, but most of what's sold online as BPC-157 or TB-500 is illegal — and the FDA is about to decide what happens next. Rick breaks down the science, the legal gray market, and why the military's new testosterone screening policy matters too. Expect to learn what actually counts as a "peptide," how GLP-1 drugs normalized injectable medications and fueled the gray market, what the FDA's own scientists concluded about BPC-157 and TB-500, why Rick's caseload has shifted from steroids to 80-90% peptide cases, what a possible "experimental peptide" middle-ground category could look like, and what really happens when the FDA raids a peptide seller, and much more.

In today's episode, Becket Cook sits down with Larry Alex Taunton, author, columnist for The Federalist, and host of the podcast Ideas Have Consequences, to discuss his insightful article, "Outrage Over Texas Teaching the Bible is Anti-Intellectual." They unpack the Texas State Board of Education's decision to include Bible sections in the K-12 curriculum, exploring why this move is essential for understanding Western civilization, literature, history, and moral foundations. From Forest McDonald's lessons on intellectual honesty to the Bible's influence on figures like Shakespeare, Faulkner, Mark Twain, and the Declaration of Independence, this conversation reveals how biblical literacy shapes everything from capitalism and science to human rights and restraint on evil impulses. Larry Alex Taunton and Becket Cook also address leftist outrage, Drag Queen Story Hour, Richard Dawkins' evolving views on Christianity vs. Islam, and why removing the Bible from public schools has led to cultural decline since 1963. Perfect for fans of Christian apologetics, education reform, Western history, and conservative thought, this episode makes a compelling case for the Bible as the "prequel to everything" in the West.

Start with the word meme, the way Richard Dawkins meant it in 1976, a piece of culture that copies itself from mind to mind and adapts to whatever medium will carry it. By that measure the Lost Cause ranks among the most successful memes this country has produced. Confederate veterans engineered it after the war, men who had lost the fighting and refused to lose the meaning. Jubal Early and the people around him built a version of the war in which slavery was a sideshow, the South fought for high principle, and the enslaved stayed content until Northern armies disturbed them. That version was false when it was written. It won anyway.

June 7, 2026 - Sunday PM Sermon   In this sermon Hiram welcomes the congregation and then turns to a sustained, pastoral reflection on artificial intelligence: its rapid spread, cultural influence, and the need for Christians to engage AI from a biblical perspective. The talk opens with statistics and cultural anecdotes — the 2025 AI spending figure, the prevalence of generative AI in business, and studies showing Gen Z engaging AI as a friend — and references high-profile voices (Richard Dawkins, Marvin Minsky, Sam Altman) to frame contemporary claims about machine consciousness and human identity. The sermon anchors its critique and counsel in Scripture. It draws on Genesis (creation and the Tower of Babel), Psalms, Isaiah, Acts, the Gospels, and Pauline letters to argue that AI has important practical uses but also clear limits. The speaker outlines seven key realities AI cannot do: replace human value (we are image-bearers of God), complete our most important tasks (worship, repentance, and evangelism), substitute true human companionship and friendship, supply ultimate certainty or be a source of truth, think deeply on our behalf, comfort broken hearts with genuine assurance, or solve humanity's deepest problem of sin and need for salvation. Practical concerns and pastoral warnings are woven throughout: AI may make tasks easier or produce polished outputs, but relying on it in place of prayer, discipleship, authentic speech, pastoral care, rigorous thought, or personal testimony risks a loss of what it means to be human and to serve God. The sermon includes concrete examples — Philip, Ananias, and Cornelius in Acts — to show why God calls embodied people to share the Gospel, and cautions against mistaking algorithmic affirmation for true friendship or spiritual counsel. The message concludes with a pastoral invitation and encouragement: Christians should neither demonize technology nor uncritically worship it; instead they should use it wisely while remembering the primacy of Scripture, the necessity of human discipleship, and the gospel as the only remedy for humanity's deepest needs. Listeners are invited to respond in repentance, baptism, and discipleship, and to seek prayer or conversation with the congregation's leaders about faith and how to engage AI faithfully.   Duration 32:14

Thomas is joined by Dr. Eric Jaffe, biologist, dinosaur enthusiast, and high school biology teacher, for a conversation that starts with a deceptively simple question: what are biological definitions actually doing? It turns out that biology is far more like history than math, and that difference has enormous consequences for anyone trying to weaponize phrases like "the biological definition of sex." Dr. Jaffe walks through why definitions in inductive sciences are descriptive, not prescriptive, and what that means for species, chromosomes, fungi, LeBron James, and trans people. "Exceptions aren't the exceptions in biology. They are built into what we call biological systems." Plus: Patreon Q&A questions on alien DNA, how new chromosomes evolve, the 97% chimp figure, CRISPR vs. what came before, and Trump's research budget cuts.

He and his colleagues (Jennifer Howk and Richard Seidel) have developed a revolutionary method for approaching life challenges and improving self-confidence and self-esteem. They describe their approach as Esteem Dynamics — an approach with clinical insights derived from evolutionary psychology. Central figures having major influence on the development of Esteem Dynamics include Richard Dawkins, John Tooby and Leda Cosmides, David Buss, Robert Trivers, Steven Pinker, and Geoffrey Miller. All of these individuals are considered world-leading theorists in evolutionary theory and human psychology. Somewhat surprisingly, insights from these trailblazers has yet to reach mainstream clinical psychology, and thus major advances stemming from some of the world's greatest thinkers have yet to be systematically applied to problems of helping people improve their lives. Esteem Dynamics is the first such effort, and weds Dr. Lisle's 30-years of clinical experience to the deep insights into human nature only recently available via evolutionary psychology. Dr. Lisle received his undergraduate education from the University of California, San Diego. He completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Virginia, and was then appointed Lecturer in Psychology at Stanford University. His research and clinical interests include health and wellness, self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, the treatment of anxiety and depression, the genetics of individual differences, and optimizing achievement motivation. In addition to his work with Esteem Dynamics, Dr. Lisle lectures widely on health and wellness.

Dr. John Lennox has lived one of the most remarkable lives in modern Christian thought. From sitting in on CS Lewis's final lectures at Cambridge in 1962, earning his PhD and teaching at Oxford as Emeritus Professor of Mathematics, debating Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, and authoring best-selling books on faith, science, suffering, AI, and Revelation. In this conversation, Dr. Lennox joins me to discuss his new autobiography, My Story. We talk about his encounter with CS Lewis, what he considers the hardest objection to Christianity (suffering and evil), and how his mind is increasingly filled with the hope of heaven.

In this episode, Eli interacts with Richard Dawkins's infamous quote about the character of the God of the Bible.

What a renowned 82-year-old Christian mathematician has to say about a life well lived. Watch this conversation on YouTube  For decades, Oxford mathematics professor emeritus John Lennox has stood in lecture halls, debate stages, and university classrooms making the case that Christianity is not a retreat from serious thought but an invitation into it. He has debated some of the world's best-known skeptics, from Richard Dawkins to Christopher Hitchens. He taught mathematics at Oxford. He smuggled Christian teaching behind the Iron Curtain. And now, in his eighties, with his health declining and his world physically growing smaller, he has written a memoir looking back on the strange providences that shaped his life.  In his new autobiography, My Story: A spiritual and intellectual autobiography, Professor Lennox reflects on growing up amid sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland, actually hearing C. S. Lewis lecture at Cambridge (literally!), being followed by the KGB, and learning over time that saying “I don't know” can sometimes open deeper doors than feigning certainty. If you've ever wondered whether intellectual seriousness and deep Christian conviction can actually coexist alongside tenderness and joy, step into the classroom: the professor is in.

Richard Dawkins spent decades convincing people to think critically about religion. Now he's wondering if a chatbot might actually be conscious. After an extended conversation with an AI he nicknamed "Claudia," the famed atheist author published a baffling article arguing that modern AI may be far more self-aware than we think. Frank is away this week, so Dan and Kate dive into one of the strangest (and most unintentionally hilarious) AI meltdowns we've seen yet. Also this week: France reckons with stolen Nazi-looted artwork, Norway restores government funding to Jehovah's Witnesses despite their shunning practices, a new Christian phone company promises to protect kids from YouTube and "dangerous" ideas, Southern Baptists continue losing members, anti-Semitic incidents show signs of decline after years of spikes, and the Catholic Church cautiously opens the door to listening to gay Catholics about the damage caused by conversion therapy.

Richard Dawkins is proposing the idea that Anthropic’s Claude (AI) is conscious. How does this fit in with his atheist worldview? Where does God fit into the equation of consciousness? Why should Christians care about this issue? With years spent behind the tech curtain, Doug Smith will challenge us to think biblically about the advances in technology and deal with the temptation to trade God for a machine.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Libby Watson of What's All This Then? returns to the show to talk about the tragic downfall of Our Keir, whose Labour Party lost massively in recent local elections.

Finally, we have a Chapo reading series double feature: Richard Dawkins thinks Claude is real and a babe, and Megan McArdle wants to heal the nation with memes.

Can atheism really be reduced to “I'm not convinced”? In this episode, Trent Horn joins Matt Fradd to respond to some of the most popular atheist clips online, including arguments from Ricky Gervais, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Matt Dillahunty, and Alex O'Connor. They tackle bad definitions of atheism, burden-shifting, the “one less god” objection, fine-tuning, divine hiddenness, and the problem of evil from a Catholic perspective. Whether you're wrestling with belief yourself or want better answers to common atheist objections, this conversation is packed with sharp arguments, clear distinctions, and practical ways to think through the debate.
