In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron dive deep into the widely accepted cultural narrative that unbelief is the default human position. Drawing from a landmark Oxford University study on the natural inclination toward belief in the supernatural, they challenge the modern myth that religion is merely a primitive attempt at science. Together, they explore the philosophical and theological implications of studies suggesting that children are predisposed to believe in God or the afterlife, critique the legacy of thinkers like Auguste Comte and J.G. Frazier, and examine the intellectual assumptions behind secularism, skepticism, and the myth of progress. This conversation is a must-watch for Christians seeking thoughtful, intelligent engagement with the roots of belief, the burden of proof, and how to respond to contemporary atheistic claims with grace and intellectual rigor.
