The Uncaused Cause: Recent Episodes
Troy Dempsey & Carl Frazzano
Two friends, one a Bible school graduate and former youth pastor, and the other an agnostic struggling with his faith discuss the rationale behind the existence of God, and what can be known about God if He does exist. No Bible verses are used - only reasoning and logic.
If you've ever wondered about the existence of God, but have trouble accepting the Bible, this might be just what you've been looking for. It's not a debate of two closed-minded people with PhDs trying to prove they are smarter than the opponent, but an intelligent, engaging, and funny discussion between friends.
If God is good then why doesn’t my car start?

Carl goes off format and asks his burning questions about religion and God. “Would we have invented a god if one didn’t exist?”, “Is it possible there are many gods or different true versions of God?”, “How did different denominations come about?”, “Can we trust that the Bible is accurate to the original writings?” “Why are there different versions of the Bible?” “What are some things that people claim are in the Bible that isn’t?”

In episode four, we discuss the theories for an infinite universe, how close “science” is to answering how we came to exist without God, and what makes sense and what doesn’t.

If infinity is essential to being the uncaused cause, and there's nothing infinite in the material universe then it stands to reason that the infinite uncaused cause must be immaterial in nature and pre-exist the universe.
We discuss the evolution/creation debate, if proof is possible, and the weakness of the argument.

In episode 2, we explain and discuss the Uncaused Cause argument, Troy’s desire to make Carl look stupid, infinity, and answer how something can come from nothing.
The Uncaused Cause Argument
- We exist, and we know ourselves not to be self-existent,
then we are an effect.
- If We Are an Effect,
then there must be something or someone that is the Cause.
- If there is a Cause,
then there must be a FirstCause.
- If there is a First Cause,
then it must be Uncaused.
- If there is something Uncaused,
then it is necessarily Infinite.
