Science Can't Explain Origin Or Laws Looking at how philosophy first holds its place over science, we look at five things science can't explain - but Theism can.

I address three objections in this episode:1. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence (and theists don't have it)2. No one can know if God exists (so theists are just blowing smoke)3.

Today I was joined by my new friend Alan Bondar for a deep and honest conversation. Alan shares his story of leaving vocational ministry and waking up one day as an Atheist... but not only is he an Atheist, he is an Anti-Theist. Alan spends his time helping those "brainwashed by the mind-virus Christianity" de-convert from the faith. I wanted to have a chat with him to talk about the god he doesn't believe in and see if we could find any common ground. In a weird twist of fate, I am the conservative defending both Theism and Christianity... we had a lot of fun, shared many laughs, and plan on grabbing beers together soon. Enjoy!
