Welcome to Fresh AiR! In tonight's episode we discuss the "Problem of Evil" - A philosophical argument against the Abrahamic Omni Deity. We also tested a new way of recording that seems to have worked a little better than episode 1, but we are still not 100% there.

Topics Covered in The Problem of Evil

Suggested Reading for those interested in 'The Problem of Evil'

We got together to do a sound check and after half an hour of laughing and discussing various topics we decided to just hit record and enjoy the conversation!

As such, this show is a little bit of a mish-mash so please forgive the low quality and a few mind blanks haha.

In this show we cover a number of items such as:

We hope you enjoy the show, and regardless of if you did or didn’t, please let us know on the comments below, via social media, or even send a sound clip in to [email protected].

We look forward to hearing from you and hopefully seeing you at the next show!

In the first episode of the season we interview a vet, Dr. Lord 32, and discuss:

Some articles that relate to this topic are:

I’d love to talk your ear off some more, but I don’t want to spoil the show for you all.

If you have any questions please post them in the comments section below. We will try and get Dr. Lord back for another show.

Hopefully in future shows we will be able to get more of our authors involved too. We are spread around the world so it can be hard to find slots where we are all available. I got excited and jumped the gun recording episode 1 without the team.

The music you can hear in the background is a couple of mixes you can download for free from http://www.nexusradio.co.uk

Thank you for listening – we hope you enjoyed the show. We are going to look to get at least one out every month or so if we can collaborate on them and would love any input from you too.

‘Common Theistic Fallacies’ was not only one of Kriss Pyke’s first articles on Answers In Reason but one of the very founding articles.

I’ve been eager to get back in to podcasting and radio and felt ‘Common Theistic Fallacies’ a great article to start on.

Answers in Reason will be offering a number of podcasts from article readings to interactive shows.

These will be available; both on the site and all popular podcasting syndicates.

A fallacy is essentially a poorly worded argument. It doesn’t necessarily mean the position is wrong, just that the formation is erroneous and should probably be ignored until the argument can be formulated in such a way that it is of sound reasoning.

We have all heard the naive argument from ignorance fallcy: “It’s just a theory” but there are so many more that we tire of hearing on a regular basis.

Fallacies are not limited to theists. They can be found in every area be it about vaccinations, or said by conspiracy theorists. We have even done an article on fallacious arguments used by atheists!

The podcast and article provide a number of different fallacies; their definitions and examples. These are the most common you will hear bit not their limit.
