If different explanations can account for the same phenomena, how can you tell which one is most likely true? That’s where a type of argument called inference to the best explanation comes in. Let’s see what these arguments can (and can’t) do, unpack what explanations are, and unearth the first test of a good explanation.

For YOU formed my inward parts;

NOTE: This episode discusses sexuality from a biblical perspective. Viewer discretion and parental guidance is advised.

It was the spiritual and cultural heirs of John Calvin, the Puritans, who were really responsible for the elevation of the significance of sex and romance within marriage in Western culture.  They likewise recognised that sex in marriage was not only for propagating the race but also for marital joy and pleasure.

In a world where conspiracy theories abound, how can we discern what’s true—and what’s not? The answer lies in a little biblical critical thinking. Here’s how to apply the 7 Checks of Critical Thinking to make a careful, informed evaluation of any “conspiracy theory.”

Where does the idea of alien life come from? Is it biblical or does the concept come from a different worldview?

Are “conspiracy theories” technically even theories? Instead of being “theories” in the scientific sense, conspiracy theories usually revolve around unproven conjectures. Still, not everything labeled a “conspiracy theory” is necessarily false. Let’s begin investigating how to think critically about conspiracy messages, as discerning between real and imagined scenarios is becoming ever more relevant in today’s culture.
