In this episode, Eli has a conversation with Darth Dawkins on the topic of apologetics.

Drew (Genetically Modified Skeptic) offered his "4 Weird Questions That Might Make You an Atheist" we've heard him out and thought it through and want to explain how these 4 questions shouldn't make you an atheist. In fact, if you work through them carefully you'll see that they actually give us more reason to believe in God.

Joshua Rasmussen is Assistant Professor in the #philosophy department at Azusa Pacific University. He earned his Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of Notre Dame. His area of research is in analytic #metaphysics, with a focus on basic categories of reality such as objects, ideas, and #necessary existence. He has published more than a dozen articles on these topics in peer-reviewed journals and has recently published a book, Defending the Correspondence Theory of Truth (Cambridge University Press). He is currently working on his second book, Necessary Existence (forthcoming with Oxford University Press and co-author), which presents new arguments for necessary concrete reality. Rasmussen values humble-minded, rational inquiry and collaboration across disciplines and perspectives.
