This episode has Dr. Gary Habermas and David Russell, the Christian host of Proselytize or Apostatize discussing apologetics in the light of Naturalism.  Topics covered include the Arguments for God, NDE's, modern miracles and double blind prayer studies, the Resurrection of Jesus and more!

Enjoy :)

In this episode, I have the pleasure of being joined by two pro-Shroud experts who happen to disagree on how to explain the 1988 C-14 tests that claimed to show the Shroud was medieval (1260-1390 A.D.).  Joe Marino starts us off with the Invisible Re-Weave hypothesis (which is covered to a degree in his newest 800-page book) and Bob finishes with his Neutron Absorption Hypothesis.  Note- see the YouTube video or the Blog for the the helpful slides of their presentations.

This was quite the show, I was joined by the thoughtful skeptic Travis R. to interview Dr. Bruce Greyson on his life-long research on the evidence for Near-Death Experiences.  Travis and I probe Dr. Greyson on the nature of the evidence in light of his new book "After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Life and Beyond".

In this 2018 episode of S&S, David and I discuss spiritual warfare in the Bible.

In this S&S episode, David and I debate the merits of Halloween from a Christian perspective- is it harmless fun or Satanic paganism?

In this episode I'm joined by Patricia Chadwick to discuss her book, "Little Sister: A Memoir" where she details her early life living within a Catholic cult called "The Center".  We explore her life both during and after her time in the cult and also discuss some theological issues surrounding the difference between "true Christianity" vs. cults that go under the name of "Christian".

In this special episode, I'm joined by famous Jewish ID proponent, Dr. Geoffrey Simmons, to discuss anthropology from the perspective of intelligent design.  We start off with an assessment of what it means to be human (what is essential to humanity), where do humans come from and finish by discussing the future of humanity (does AI and cybernetics threaten humans as God's image bearer?).

In this episode, we assess the skeptical argument from Biblical Confusion, is the Bible unjustifiably confusing?  This is Part 2 in David J. the Atheist's S&S series on Why he Doesn't Care About the Bible.

This is a follow up to the S&S show we did on the issue of the "subsumability" of the Resurrection of Jesus.  In this eisode we focus on another of the three criteria for establishing a proper context charged with religious significance is present (the miracle event must be; i) sufficiently attached to the religion/"Christianity proper", ii) Serve to attest the truth of the religion/"Christianity proper" & iii) not "Subsumable" to any other religion.

With the extraordinary miracle event established along with the fulfillment of the religious context criteria, we have the means to determine that Jesus' Resurrection from the dead counts as a "G-Belief Authenticating Event" for the truth of Christianity.

Assuming one could prove that a miraculous Resurrection of Jesus did in fact take place 2000+ years ago, would that necessarily imply that Christianity is true or could other religions "subsume" such miracles as proof for their truth; later religions like the Bahai faith or the Jehovah's Witnesses might want to lay claim that the Resurrection was proof of the truth of their religions not for Christianity for example.  By what criteria should we judge that a given miracle counts as proof for one religion vs. others that claim the same event?  This is the issue of miracle "subsumability" and in this episode I provide my unique set of criteria for deciding such matters.
