In this episode, Abigail Favale shares a conversation with philosophy professor Isaac Choi spanning from the existence of aliens to artificial intelligence takeover. Does Christian Theology actually lend itself to the possibility of extra-terrestrial life? How does ancient philosophy address ideas that we might consider to be “science fiction?” What are the most prominent contemporary theories about the multiverse?
Dr. Isaac Choi studied physics and chemistry at Harvard College. He received two masters from Princeton Theological Seminary in philosophy and theology, writing a thesis on divine action, quantum mechanics, and computer simulations. His doctoral dissertation in philosophy at the University of Notre Dame was on the nature and epistemology of expertise, centered on the question of how we should decide between disagreeing experts.
Professor Abigail Favale completed her doctorate at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she was a recipient of the competitive Overseas Research Award. In 2011, her dissertation was granted the Samuel Rutherford Prize for the most distinguished thesis in English literature.
