June 21, 201195: Space ships and man-eating giraffesTony joins us again this week to discuss chapter 6 of "On Guard" by William Lane Craig. This chapter, not as cleverly titled as our podcast, is called "Can We Be Good Without God," which gives Tony and Emery yet another chance to discuss their favorite topic: do we need God for morality to work? Although they had ambitions of finally putting the issue to rest in this podcast, chances of doing so seem about as good as a California governor's promise to balance the budget....more1h 2minPlay
May 21, 201194: The End of the WorldWith only a few hours left, join Scott and Emery as they await the end of the world on May 21, 2011. What better way to anticipate Jesus' return than to ponder the following: 1) have Christians committed the same sin of unbelief they accuse nonbelievers of when they doubt Harold Camping's read of the Bible, 2) is there a chance for salvation in the afterlife and how long should God's forgiveness last, 3) what is hell like, and 4) is it easier to dissuade someone from nihilism if life is finite or infinite?...more1h 4minPlay
April 24, 201193: ConversionWhat actually happens during conversion that is laudable? What do we do that is damnable? This week Scott and Emery discuss the conversion process, and talk about Scott's encounter with some proselytizing Mormons....more1h 22minPlay
April 03, 201192: Fine Tuning ArgumentTony joins Emery this week to discuss chapter 5 of William Lane Craig's book "On Guard." This chapter is on the Fine Tuning argument.

February 27, 201191: Should you be true to yourself?This week Scott and Emery examine Don Johnson's (thedonjohnsonshow.com) premise that one of society's big lies is that we should take charge of our own lives. He advocates a "let go and let God" approach, where man's real purpose is to love outwardly toward God and other people, and sin is defined as loving yourself instead....more1h 6minPlay
February 14, 201190: Why does anything exist at all?Tony joins us to discuss chapter 3 of William Lane Craig's book "On Guard." This chapter explores the Leibnitz Cosmological Argument which revolves around the distinction between objects that are contingent, and those that are necessary. Tony supports Craig's argument by claiming that all objects in the universe are contingent, so there must be a necessary entity somewhere to start it all. Emery, however, feels we don't know enough about matter to say that it's all contingent....more58minPlay
January 30, 201189: Are there any immoral acts?Is it immoral when God commands people to inflict pain and suffering? Is it immoral when God allows pain and suffering? Many Christians say no, because it's all part of God's intended plan. How then can any act be immoral? Scott and Emery tackle the issue on this episode as they discuss the Christian solutions to the problem of evil, and the implications these solutions have....more59minPlay
January 02, 201188: Objective meaningCan we have objective meaning, value, and purpose in our lives without God? Or are these things necessarily subjective, even if God exists? Join Tony and Emery on the first of a multi-part series discussing the book "On Guard" by William Lane Craig. We start with Ch. 2 entitled "What difference does it make if God exists?"...more1h 0minPlay

December 14, 201086: Where's the justice?Pastor Scott is back with his main objection to atheism: justice. But does the Christian world view really give humans their only shot at justice in the hereafter, or does Christianity cause more injustice in the afterlife than it fixes?...more1h 5minPlay
