Can anyone actually PROVE God exists — or doesn't? Most people assume
the debate has clear winners and losers. Professor Graham Oppy, one of
the world's leading philosophers of religion, says it's far more
complicated than that.
In this episode, we sit down with Prof. Graham Oppy (Monash University,
author of "Arguing About Gods" and "Atheism: The Basics") to explore
why neither theists nor atheists have produced a truly convincing
argument — and what that means for how we should think about belief,
reason, and God.
We cover:
→ Why the cosmological, ontological & teleological arguments all fall short
→ Why the Problem of Evil doesn't conclusively disprove God either
→ What "a successful argument" even means in philosophy
→ Whether agnosticism is the most rational position
→ How smart, reasonable people can end up on completely opposite sides
Whether you're a believer, atheist, or somewhere in between — this
conversation will challenge how you think about one of humanity's
oldest questions.
