"Do the gods love the pious because they are good or are they good because the gods love them?" This ancient Greek dilemma has implications for the moral argument even today.

It's one thing for you to say 'stealing is bad'. It's yet another thing for you to say that I shouldn't steal. What gives humans and the institutions that we made (police, judiciary, international tribunals etc.) power to mandate moral behaviour over other humans?

Is it an attempt that ends up in compromising Biblical truths? Or won't merely preaching the Gospel be enough?! What is the need for these cultural gymnastics?! Jacob Cheriyan has been pioneering the project God and Eastern Minds (GEM) to make culturally substantiated inroads in presenting the Gospel in India. What follows is one of the most fascinating and perspective orienting interactions on SAFT Podcast!

If you start to count up from 0 to the largest number will you ever finish counting? It would take literally forever! How about starting to count down from the largest number all the way down to 0? Is it even possible to start, let alone asking how long it would take?! This impossibility faces anyone who says the universe never began to exist or has always existed. Join us to learn more about this simplified philosophical argument for why the universe must have had a beginning.

Just because a sheep has a mother it doesn't mean that the herd (collection of sheeps) would have a mother too. So likewise, just because the things within the universe have a cause/creator it doesn't mean that the universe (collection of all things) has a Cause/Creator. Is that a solid objection? Nope, not really (well the sheep and the herd both have a shepherd so....). Join us as we close down on the defense of part one of the argument for God from the universe's existence.

If you say God always existed, why not say the same for the universe? If you say that God is 'timeless', what does that even mean? If there was no time prior to the Big Bang, how was God's relation to time? Is He still timeless now? In this episode we give you a sneak peek into the interesting area of God, time and eternity and conclude our look at the objections from one of atheism's most prolific thinkers to God creating the universe out of nothing.

Hypocrite! Biased! These are descriptions we don't want to hear. We sometimes assume that these don't apply to experts and the best minds out there. But it does apply to all. In continuation of our exploration of the creator behind the universe we take a pit stop to assess what and why one of the best atheist philosophers, J L Mackie, held out his objection against the cause of the universe. You'll be surprised to see how the commoner and the expert are often similar in intellectual inquiry.

The question remains: if the universe could really come from nothing, then why can't Beethoven or Bhagat Singh pop out of nowhere? If NOTHING created the universe, if really NO-THING created the universe then why the preference for universe(s) alone? Why can't anything and everything appear out of nowhere, from nowhere, and for no reason? How can the lack-of-anything (nothing) have any preference? What are the three solid reasons to say something cannot come from nothing (or that everything that begins to exist has a cause)? Join us to find out.

Why does it look like philosophers get stuck in mundane and trivial details blowing it out of proportions? For instance, do you think that if you were to 'imagine/conceive' in your mind Dora the Explorer popping into existence from thin air in your room that she could actually appear out of thin air in your room? No right!? But philosopher J L Mackie thinks so. We look at Mackie's absurd position, miracle-denier philosopher David Hume's point of agreement on the Kalam and more in this latest episode.
