Pints with Aquinas

Atheism

Is belief in the Resurrection reasonable?

This episode is a debate about the question: Is it reasonable to believe that Jesus rose from the dead?

Catholic apologist Trent Horn argues that it’s reasonable and Matt Dillahunty, host of the radio show “The Atheist Experience,” argues that it’s not. As they lay out their arguments and take questions from patrons, they talk about:

– What makes a belief reasonable
– How we should investigate a miracle claim
– Physical and testimonial evidence about past events
– Whether there’s sufficient evidence for the Resurrection

Cosmological Argument For God’s Existence w/ Michael Jones

In this episode, I talk with Michael Jones, who runs the YouTube channel “Inspiring Philosophy,” about the Leibnizian Contingency Argument for God’s existence. If that sounds like a mouthful, don’t worry. We break it down and explain the whole thing.

Along the way we touch on questions like:
– Does everything that exists have an explanation?
– What is the “principle of sufficient reason”?
– Can there be an infinite chain of causes going back forever?
– Could there be a nonmaterial cause of the universe that’s NOT God?

Why People Become Atheists w/ Fr. James Brent

Today I’m joined around the bar table by Fr. James Brent, O.P., professor of philosophy at the Dominican House of Studies. Together we tackle the BIG issues, like:

  • Why saying there is a God or there is no God represent two radically different worldviews
  • Why true science is actually neutral about the question of God’s existence
  • The five negative positions that constitute “big tent” Platonism and why this list is invaluable in discussions with atheists.

If you enjoy BIG conversations, then grab your notepad and pen because you’re really going to enjoy this episode!

God and Atheism

In this Dostoevsky-esque short story, “A Shuttered Universe: A Novel in 9 Letters,” Matt weaves a tale inspired by Aquinas’ arguments against atheism. When a Christian invites his atheist friend to a Christian conference, the two end up swapping their beliefs. Through their genteel arguments explaining their new positions on religion, they open a dialogue that brings each closer to the truth.

What can we learn from the nine letters in this short story?

  • Logic is vital in any discussion about Christianity
  • Frank discussion that takes us out of our comfort zone helps us to better understand our beliefs in Christianity
  • Modernism attempts to squelch our faith, but reason can always prevail

Listen to the whole episode now, and enjoy Matt’s tale of Christianity and atheism.

Debating Atheists, Priestly Celibacy, and More W/ Dr. William Lane Craig

I recently got the chance to sit down with a world-famous Christian debater, Dr. William Lane Craig. Dr. Craig is a man to look up to in many ways; his debates with prominent atheists are are all over YouTube. It was a truly pleasure and a privilege to talk with him about proofs for God’s Existence, the story of how he met Dawkins, Thomism, the best Christian and atheist philosophers today, and Pascal.
