Science Faith and Reasoning

This is the "teaser" or trailer for the upcoming SFR+ limited series called "The Belief Dialogues". This is a six-part series documenting a discussion between two brothers: one a Christian, the other an agnostic. The six episodes will release on a bi-weekly basis through the Science Faith & Reasoning Podcast platforms as well as our YouTube Channel. Here are the six episode topics:

Can anything be objectively and absolutely morally wrong from a godless worldview? Without being made in the image of God, can one reason from what "is" (biology) to how we "ought" to act? In this episode, I breakdown the moral argument as presented by various theists and Christian apologists, and analyze if a godless worldview can objectively ground morality. The moral argument goes like this:

Premise #1: If God does not exist, then objective moral values and duties do not exist.

Premise #2: Objective moral values and duties do exist.

Conclusion: God exists.

I also go into some of the most common objections to the Moral Argument for God's existence, such as, if objective morality exists, then why do people disagree so often about what's right? I also discuss an insightful quote from C.S. Lewis, “My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?”

We know that the moral law exists because we constantly are judging actions as right or wrong according to it. We may not have every nuance figured out yet, but in a general sense, we know that some things are absolutely wrong, and others are absolutely right.

We feature a clip from The Atheist Experience podcast to see if they can answer why it's OK for animals to kill each other, but not for humans to act the same way.

In this episode, I break down the youtube video of Progressive Christian YouTuber and pastor, Colby Martin. He argues that since the Bible is a "translation of a translation of a translation," we cannot know for sure what the original author's message really was in the biblical text. He also claims that since there are so many "contradictions" in the Bible, it cannot be trusted. Another assertion he makes is that since one Greek word often can be translated in different ways, that it is nearly impossible to know for sure how it is to be translated. This low and skeptical view of Scripture is common to those submerged in Progressive Christianity, a virus of the Faith that is taking hold of many believers who are more liberal in temperament and politics. Tune in for a discussion of how we know we can trust the message of God's Word, and how we can hold various translations accountable to their accuracy in representing the original manuscripts. #ProgressiveChristianity #ProgressiveChristian #ColbyMartin #Unclobber #Bible #BibleTranslations #InterpretingScripture #SolaScriptura

In this episode, I discuss the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology, which is the observation that all living things have DNA, RNA and Protein, and that DNA codes for RNA, and RNA codes for Protein. This "DNA -> RNA -> Protein" system undergirds all living things on Earth. The question is this: Could this system come about by random chance in the prebiotic soup of the early Earth? Assuming there were plenty of DNA nucleotides floating around, could they come together to form a small, 300 nucleotide, meaningful piece of DNA? Also, if all the necessary amino acids were present, could they slam together and form a meaningful/functional protein in a reasonable amount of time? Let's explore some of the probability calculations provided by Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, a former geophysicist and philosopher of science, who has looked at this system extensively. Here's a link to his video on the probability calculation for a 150-amino acid protein forming by chance: https://youtu.be/JQ3hUlU0vR4
