In Episode 9, “Atheism on Trial,” Bill Watkins and Corey Piper turn a real-time social-media skirmish with a condescending atheist—complete with the Flying Spaghetti Monster meme that still pops up in 2026’s endless culture-war memes and classroom battles over science and worldview—into a masterclass on faith, knowledge, and evidence. Bill presses the atheist’s pure empiricism against the Big Bang’s impossible “something-from-nothing” origin, then methodically unpacks the First Cause as eternal, immutable, non-spatial, non-material, pure actuality—an infinite, uncaused spiritual Being whose attributes match the God of Scripture. Bill shows how Romans 1’s implanted knowledge of the Creator, historical proofs like the resurrection, and even miracles (which C.S. Lewis reminds us simply utilize the physics God authored) dismantle atheism’s multiverse evasions and emotive mockery. Amid today’s trending headlines about the plateauing “nones,” viral atheist-Christian clashes, and renewed debates over intelligent design, the episode reminds us that Christianity alone offers a coherent, evidential foundation—leaving Soli Deo Gloria as the only fitting response to a universe that loudly declares its Creator.
