Episode 9-Religion
Listen now
Description
We begin the podcast by considering the nature of God, and to what degree proofs for the existence of God or Gods are a productive approach to understanding religion. After examining the limitations of this approach, the podcast investigates two alternate approaches, evidentialism and pluralism, and again the strengths and limitations of each approach is evaluated. From this discussion a set of criterion for evaluating religious claims is developed. This is incorporated in the third approach, that of reformed epistemology. Finally the nature of religious truth is examined. (Part of the podcast was recorded during a rainstorm, providing an unintended background track.)
