Rob, David, and I have an in-house discussion about the age of the earth. Rob believes in an old universe and a young earth for scientific reasons. David holds to old earth creationism, which accepts an old earth but still rejects macro-evolution. We talk about dating methods and the Scripture that states that Adam was created on the sixth day.

In this episode of the show, we talk about whether or not Jesus fulfilled the prophecies of the Hebrew Scriptures for the Jewish Messiah. We begin by discussing if the Messiah is a person or an age. Rob and David then lay out the case that Jesus fulfilled various prophecies, and Sam responds.

In this conversation with Sam, we hear about why he left Christianity to become Jewish.

Titus will be taking more of a host/moderator role in the future and leaving the dialogue and debate to more qualified individuals. David Russell and Rob Lundberg are Christian thinkers and apologists who will be helping out on the show in the future. In this episode, we get to know them a bit.

Did Jesus actually rise from the dead, or is this just wishful thinking? Jordan and I end our series of conversations by discussing the historical evidence, or lack thereof, for the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Jordan tells me about his military training and we make fun of a few silly Charlottesville conspiracy theories. The conversation then turns into another long, intense discussion on the general reliability of oral tradition, especially as it pertains to the Gospels.

Jordan and I had a little over a week to prepare for this conversation about the historical reliability of the Gospels. I begin by contending that the Gospels meet various criteria for reliability. Jordan challenges their traditional authorship, which I somewhat concede, and then the conversations turns into a heated debate about oral tradition!

This the first of a series of conversations between Jordan, an agnostic atheist, and myself. We hear about how he lost his faith and set the stage for our future discussions.

I got the big fish to come on the show! After messaging the Atheist Community of Charlottesville, I was pleasantly surprised to have the founder agree to have a discussion with me. Jared is a smart guy, and we had a lot of fun talking about the problem of suffering, the possibility of the supernatural, and much more! We hope to do an entire season with him at some point.
