In today's episode of Talk Heathen, ObjectivelyDan, Fe, and Scott Dickie tackle cosmological arguments, martyrdom claims, and the limits of binary thinking!

Felix in Puerto Rico argues that something must have always existed with the power to sustain existence, therefore god. Why does this have to be a binary choice between god and nothing? What scientific explanations have you explored for the universe's origins? The hosts challenge his assumption that eternal existence requires consciousness or intent. If something must have always existed, why couldn't that something be the universe itself? Keep digging into cosmology and call back with what you discover.

Bob in NY believes Christianity is true because people died for their beliefs. Don't people die for false beliefs all the time? Muslims die for Islam, followers died for David Koresh—does that make their beliefs true? The call ends when Bob uses offensive language about Muslims, demonstrating how quickly apologetics can reveal underlying prejudice.
