Still Unbelievable
Welcome to Still Unbelievable, where we dissect an episode of Unbelievable to see how well the Christian arguments stand up.
In this episode Andrew is joined by Doug Hoxworth. Doug is a Mechanical Engineer with a second degree in theology, and he maintains a life long interest in philosophy.
After years of Christianity, Doug is now an atheist, and he takes us on a journey through the presocratics, Socrates, Plato, Plotinus, and other philosophers to disambiguate the conversation between Raymond Tallis and David Bentley Hart.
What role did the presocratics, Socrates, and Plato have in forming first century Christian thought? What is the origin of the word logos, and how does that origin change our understanding of John 1? What are platonic forms? Was Plato a dualist? Should we trust Plato's philosophy over empiricism? Does logos help us understand mind and the world around us?
Just press play and listen to the exploration.

In this episode Andrew is joined by Chris Bradley to discuss whether John Lennox is honest with his Christian listeners about the nature of science and the provability of scripture.
Is John Lennox knowingly and openly dishonest with his supporters, or is it true that science cannot explain everything about our existence? Is scripture a complementary explanation that stands hand-in-hand with the science to provide a complete picture, or is scripture simple special pleading that obfuscates our understanding? What does the word "nothing" mean in the context of physics and creation?
Join Andrew and university trained Electrical Engineer Chris Bradley to find out.
