  Alex Malpass's debate with WLC was incredible ❤

  Excellent response! Thanks Phil, Dr. Afshordi and Dr. Linford for taking some of your precious time to refute the misrepresentations of apologists while educating us on advanced cosmology! Keep the good work!

  Craig sounds like the student that didn't study the lesson and has to BS his way out of the questions.

  Craig uses the absence of the Arabic language among his followers in discussions of the Kalam Cosmological Argument, even though famous theologians like Fakhr al-Din al-Razi and his student Sayf al-Din al-Amidi criticized and refuted the argument, showing its weaknesses and arguing that it is circular. Likewise, Ibn Rushd argued in his book The Incoherence of the Incoherence that the argument does not successfully prove the creation of the world. In addition, Ibn Taymiyyah ( who was an materialist) argued that an infinite regress into the past is possible. Furthermore, the Kalam argument does not necessarily lead to belief in a personal God, but could instead support a pantheistic or Aristotelian conception of God: as ibn Taymiyyah has shown in his book

  Shining an educational and illuminating light into an intellectually dampened arena of misconception and ignorance

  Craig has become a special pleading ninja.

  Well, it&apos;s been a pleasant hour and a half considering your recreational scientific speculation, but now I must really return to the much more serious, sober and unpleasant theistic apologetics of starting from a preferred conclusion.

  You guys still think WLC will ever admit he is wrong. HeHe.<br>Remember when the media sensationalized the neutrinos faster than the speed of light experiment?<br>Every scientist says let us repeat the experiment before we jump to conclusions. Then the researcher found that there was a Temperature error, or some reason that explained the difference.<br>Not WLC, WLC jumped in front of the parades claiming the vindication of Lorenth, and even when the same people told Craig that was a mistake, Craig doubled down and still had that on his website.<br>Good Luck with debating Craig. Lately he seems more abrasive, and goes into the conspiracies and adhomin debate tactics.

  I would love to hear the SciPhi show talk about panpsychism. It seems to me, as a layperson, that people use a misunderstanding of cosmology and quantum physics to support panpsychism in much the same way apologists do for their personal beliefs.

  This was very interesting. I’m not a cosmologist but I am an enthusiast of philosophy and the scientific method. I have more to consider now. I do find it entertaining to think about the possibilities; indeed, I do find that fun.

  @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBi-txYaP20&amp;t=4166">1:09:26</a> look at work in bohmian mechanics for modern neo-lorentzian theories<br><br>Look at you mentioning the connection a minute later. Good job 👍
