Sunday School: Should You Take Pascal's Wager? Feb 17, 2019

Show notes

Pat talks with Dr. Michael Rota, professor of philosophy at the University of St. Thomas, on one of the most controversial but intriguing arguments for the reasonableness of committing to a religious life: Pascal's Wager. Dr. Rota is the author of the book Taking Pascal's Wager: Faith, Evidence, and the Abundant Life, where he offers an updated formulation of the argument, responds to common objections, and presents a case for the truth of the Christian faith.

About Dr. Michael Rota

From his website: "I'm a Professor of Philosophy at the University of St. Thomas (Minnesota) and a Program Officer at the Templeton Religion Trust. In my recent book Taking Pascal's Wager, I give an extended argument for the reasonableness and desirability of Christian commitment. From 2010-2016 Dean Zimmerman and I co-organized the St. Thomas Summer Seminars in Philosophy of Religion and Philosophical Theology. I'm currently working with the sociologist Kevin Bales on a book on slavery and religion."

EP 238: Ed Feser on Proofs for the Existence of God Feb 10, 2019

Show notes

Ed Feser is a philosopher, writer, and atheist-turned-Catholic who's published some of the best contemporary academic and popular work on the reasonableness of belief in God and arguments for His existence, and attributes. His popular titles include 5 Proofs for the Existence of God (which I can't recommend enough, and often have), The Last Superstition: A Refutation of the New Atheism (also a necessary read), and Philosophy of Mind. His more technical book, Scholastic Metaphysics, is absolutely worth having on the shelf for any serious philosopher.

I wanted to have Ed on because 1) his work greatly caused me to reconsider the religious worldview and 2) share his own conversion story of how he went from being a decade-long atheist to one of the most prolific--and persuasive--philosophers on the religious scene today. I hope you enjoy the interview.

EP 235: God and Science, Near Death Experiences, and How to Suffer Well Feb 03, 2019

Show notes

Fr. Robert J. Sptizer, Ph.D, joins Pat Flynn to discuss the relationship between faith and reason, and how science, when properly understood, strongly points to the existence of God.

From the discovery of a "finely-tuned" universe in contemporary cosmology, to the studies on near death experiences and terminal lucidity, this conversation is sure to fascinate anyone who's interested in the understanding the deep compatibility between faith and reason.

Furthermore, Pat brings a host of theological questions to Fr. Spitzer--questions from what exactly we'll do in heaven, and how to suffer well on earth--that listeners have sent in.

Please enjoy!

What it really means to live a "good" life
How to find true happiness
Why -- and how -- you should be learning new skills
How to overcome "friction" and take action toward the things you know you should be doing
Why trying to be "the best" in the world at any one thing is (very probably) not going to make you fulfilled
