Big Change Among Atheist Intellectuals

Acclaimed podcaster and author Justin Brierley joins Jonathan Wilson to explore why so many prominent atheists are rejecting secular materialism, and re-evaluating the merits of the Christian faith. They discuss how many of these secular elites are reassessing the perceived triumph of science over religion, as well as the fallacy that Western values such as human rights stem from the Greco-Roman world. For those seeking to live a meaningful life, Christianity is once again emerging as a compelling intellectual option.

Are Aliens and UFOs Actually Demons?

My view is that at least some UFOs [now call UAPs], alien contactees and alien abductors are definitely Demons. But I'm not convinced all are. I don't think the genuine existence of extraterrestrials or extra-dimensionals in any way undermine the truth of Christianity. So, I would definitely agree with Akin in the video despite me being a Protestant like Ross while Akin is Roman Catholic.

At the end of the video Akin list 5 possibilities:

- extra-terrestrials

- crypto-terrestrials

- inter-dimensional of the physical sort

- inter-dimensional of the spiritual sort

- time travel

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.//

Argument from Contingency w/ Dr. Josh Rasmussen [3 Hours Long]

The Argument from Contingency is considered by the brilliant agnostic Joe Schmid as one of the best arguments for theism. Cameron Bertuzzi himself says in the video that it's his favorite theistic argument. The following video is a 3 hour long video by Christian philosophy Josh Rasmussen. Joe Schmid says Rasmussen's versions of the argument are the ones he finds strongest.

Logic, Therefore God? with James N. Anderson

The following is an interview of James N. Anderson by Cameron Bertuzzi on Anderson and Greg Welty's 2011 peer-reviewed paper, The Lord of Noncontradiction which argues that necessary truths like the laws of logic necessitates the existence of God. I'm apologetically a presuppositionalist, and so is Anderson. I believe he might be the first presuppositionalist to be interviewed by Bertuzzi. Cameron has been hesitant to interview presuppositionalists because he's not impressed by them. But that's probably because he has never encountered a knowledgeable one before. Fortunately, he now has and has interviewed him on an actual detailed argument for God.
