Acts of Twenty, Love and Fate: Recent Episodes

Joshua Stirba

Are you scientifically inclined? Do you believe in God? Or maybe you are on the fence? Have you ever asked yourself, “Why, and how, do I exist?“ If you resonated with any of those questions, then listening to this podcast will allow you to grow intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. I am Paul Joshua, biomolecular researcher, avid theist, archer and dungeon master, and this is Acts of Twenty, Love, and Fate.

It is a fact that we do not only encounter and create information in our own technology, but we also find information in our biology. It is present in every cell of every living organism on Earth. But this begs the question, “How did this information arise? What does information in my cells imply about humankind? Who or what wrote this ‘book of life’?”

"DNA functions like a software program and contains specified information just as software does. We know from experience that software comes from programmers. We know generally that specified information — whether inscribed in hieroglyphics, written in a book, or encoded in a radio signal — always arises from an intelligent source. So the discovery of such information in the DNA molecule provides strong grounds for inferring (or detecting) that intelligence played a role in the origin of DNA, even if we weren’t there to observe the system coming into existence."

What would you say if I told you there was another universe inside of our own? A much smaller universe on the microscopic and even nanoscopic scale, that consists of objects that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. A realm of cells, molecules, atoms, and particles, governed and organized by extremely sophisticated biological networks, molecular systems, anomalous physical laws, and primeval technology that far outsurpass our own. Would your intuition tell you they were developed? Or designed? In this episode, we will be talking about the concept of irreducible complexity, the complexity of microscopic machines and the probability of DNA. Be mindful. Victory lies just ahead.

Do you understand the inherent complexity supporting all life? Do you appreciate the miracle of the creation of all creatures, animals, plants, underwater life and microscopic life? Can you realize the explanation, meaning and reason behind the fact that any life exists in the universe at all, including your own?

What exactly is science? What can it do and what can it not do? Is it adequate enough to explain the "big questions" like how did reality start, or what our purpose is? These questions sound simple on the surface but are actually quite involved. This episode will explain these by introducing the chance hypothesis and chemical necessity, discussing the probabilities of life, what scientific "proof" is and more. The next episode will continue in this topic, specifically the marvelous complexity of molecular life and its origins.

Hello #joshuamigos, the 6th episode of Acts of Twenty, Love and Fate has been published on my podcast channel!

This episode, I am talking about a few people’s lives and some stories that they were willing to share. Some stories were tough to listen to, while others were more light-hearted. This episode does touch upon tame forms of relationship abuse, so if you’re a very sensitive person you may want to pass this episode!

Ultimately, it’s about what God can do for us, especially when we are tested. Do you have enough acts of love and fate to bring the peace of certainty into your life? Have you received at least twenty significant blessings in your life?

Welcome back class, I am Joshua Stirba and you’re listening to Acts of Twenty, Love and Fate, Episode 5, Part 1. The podcast that discusses all varieties of things spiritual, cerebral and scientific. This episode, we are talking about theology, the study of divine nature and religious belief. Many people ask either themselves or others questions about God's divine nature - questions that are definitely more on the skeptical side of religious beliefs, or outright anti-religion. They aren't able to reconcile the possible existence of God with their understanding of their world.

I won't say anything demeaning about others who believe in things, or not believe in things, that are different from my own beliefs. Having differences in beliefs outlines us as unique individuals but it's not a reason to hate, but rather it's an opportunity to learn more about each other, to arrive at a much deeper understanding of our fellow man, and would lead to much more godly lives for many people.

This episode, we’re talking about anxiety, depression and how it relates to mental health. I want to preface this by saying that I am not a doctor nor a medical worker that is qualified to give professional health advice. You can always ask any questions you may have regarding your own well-being with an actual doctor or other licensed medical professionals, if you suspect you may need some kind of therapy or medical intervention. I've received a lot of questions regarding mental health: Can you share your thoughts on mental health awareness? How do you follow a healthy lifestyle, spiritually as well as physically? What are your thoughts on anxiety, depression and fighting struggles alone? Can you share your thoughts on health and stability during the pandemic?
