Jordan Peterson interviews Indian Christian Philosopher Vishal Mangalwadi on how the Bible transformed India & Europe

 

Jordan Peterson interviews Indian Christian philosopher, social reformer, political columnist, writer and lecturer Vishal Mangalwadi on how the Bible and the Christian worldview transformed India and Europe. It's an EXCELLENT interview that has postmillennial implications, which at the very least is consistent with postmillennialism.

DEBATE: Theism vs. Naturalism: Which is a Better Account of Reality? [McLatchie vs. O'Connor]

 

Jonathan McLatchie (Christian) and Alex O'Connor (Atheist) debate the existence of God. This might be their 2nd or 3rd debate. I'm not sure.

Does God's Foreknowledge Preclude Human Free Will? Philip Swenson vs. Taylor Cyr

 

Two of my favorite defenders of Calvinism really enjoyed listening to this debate/discussion.  Guillaume Bignon I end up siding with Philip Swenson, but had the exact same evaluation as Paul Manata did. Paul Manata wrote on his facebook wall:
//I’ve probably watched less than 10% of Capturing Christianity’s episodes, so my judgment here means very little if you take it to be an ontological claim about the best episode, but the Cyr-Swenson episode is *by far* my favorite. I’ve watched it three times. This isn’t a “debate” at all, but a discussion between two top experts who know all the moves in the debate. It’s almost like a dance, each partner knowing their move after the other had made theirs. Indeed, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that they planned this dance ahead of time! For those up-to-speed on the state of the discussion, this discussion is a real treat. I ultimately side with Cyr, but Swenson masterfully shows just how difficult it is to make the argument against his side.//
