Nuclear Engineer Bob Rucker is typically known as a Pro-Shroud expert in terms of the evidence for the miraculous and authentic nature of the Shroud of Turin. In this special team-up episode between Real Seekers and Faith Unaltered, Bob shares his interesting view that the Earth is billions of years old and yet he thinks that Noah's Flood was a truly Global event!

In this episode I'm joined again by David Russell and newcomer Tyler Fowler to probe Dr. David Kemball-cook who recently lost his faith in the Bible and Jesus.

Some fans of the show have asked me to provide some follow up on my recent Panel Review series shows Parts 1-3. In this four part series, I give my own personal update as to where I stand on the issues discussed on these Panel shows based on my own research and what the experts have said.

Fellow Christian, Chris Date, joins me in this episode to discuss the merits of Calvinism and to compare/contrast the Doctrines of "Meticulous Divine Providence" & Predestination/Election within the Calvinist (Compatibilist) vs. Molinist (Libertarian Freewill) perspectives. Part 1 features our discussion on meticulous divine providence and how the 5 aspects of "freedom" (ability condition, control condition, rationality condition, nature of causation and personal agency) relate to how a Calvinist would address them compared to a Molinist/Arminian.

In this special episode of S&S, I am joined by David Russell of the Proselytize or Apostatize Podcast and famous Annihilationist Chris Date, to discuss the nature of Hell. Is Hell a quarantine zone for those sinful people who choose to be “unfit” for salvation by rejecting Jesus or is does it entail that the damned will by annihilated instead?

For about 12 years now, I have been tuning in every Saturday morning to listen to the Unbelievable? Podcast to hear a Christian and non-Christian engage on a key issue of theological, philosophical and/or scientific/historical debate. The host of that show is none other than Justin Brierly and as a fan of his, I invited Justin on to get his take on various issues that our relevant in sharing the Gospel with people in today’s modern world. Topics included; i) Justin’s faith journey and ministry on Unbelievable? And his other projects, ii) The “Rules of Engagement” with unbelieving Skeptics, iii) Discussion on the Evidences for the Existence of God and the truth of Christianity and finally iv) Justin’s take on the Christian doctrines of the role of women in the Bible and Hell/Annihilationism.

In this follow up show to my Shroud Panel Review Show (Part 3A), Pro-Shroud expert Giulio Fanti joins me for a one-on-one interview to address some of the questions, challenges and objections to his work on dating the Shroud of Turin via the statistical analysis of the numismatic gold solidus coins and his 4 physical/empirical dating tests (FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, tensile strength and the WAXS/X-Ray) demonstrating the Shroud to be of 1st century origin during the time of Jesus.

I (Dale the Christian) and my non-Christian university professor, Dr. Paul Bali, join Andrew and Matt as guests on the Ask an Atheist Anything Podcast. We discuss issues pertaining to freedom of expression, the relationship between science and philosophy and how religious knowledge can impart wisdom for people seeking truth. It was a great show, enjoy 🙂 RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2020/02/12/proscenium-4a-ask-an-atheist-anything-shows-dale-guest-stars/ YouTube Video = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DOwQo9MJ3g Audio Only Link = https://anchor.fm/real-seeker-ministries/episodes/ProsceniumAsk-an-Atheist-Anything–Professor-Paul-Bali-on-Philosophy–Science–Religion-eapve4

In this show, we tackle the question when it is that an Atheist bears the burden of proof when dialoguing with a Christian. Specific discussion on the burden of proof revolves around my use of Bayes Theorem, prior probabilities, the shifting of the burden of proof and my beloved Molinistic Defeater- all this and more is tackled by the Atheists in this episode.

This was quite the show, I was joined by the thoughtful skeptic Travis R. to interview Dr. Bruce Greyson on his life-long research on the evidence for Near-Death Experiences. Travis and I probe Dr. Greyson on the nature of the evidence in light of his new book "After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Life and Beyond".

After having a great conversation on substance dualism with Robert L. White and Travis R., I realized that I kind of let Travis down by not giving the Meta-Problem of Consciousness my full attention during the show and thus, I took some time after the show to read up on it and present my findings and conclusions for people in this short 30 min presentation. See the RSM Blog along with sources = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2020/03/29/new-content-debating-the-existence-of-the-soul-substance-dualism-with-robert-l-white-dualist-travis-r-type-c-physicalist/ YouTube Video = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwUfxOlw-dg Audio Only Link = https://anchor.fm/real-seeker-ministries/episodes/SoulSubstance-Dualism-Discussion-After-Show–Dales-Take-on-the-Meta-Problem-of-Consciousness-ec7f20

I’m joined by my friends Robert L. White (Christian host of the Robert L. White show) and Travis R. (Skeptical blogger from the Measure of Faith Blog site) to discuss various issues relating to the Mind/Body Problem. The topics we discuss include the following; i) Introductions as to who we are and laying out of our respective positions on the Mind/Body Problem, ii) The “Meta-Problem of Consciousness”, iii) The “Hard Problem of Consciousness”- What is the nature of mental properties & states (the Differences Argument & Knowledge Argument), iv) The “Hard Problem of Consciousness”- What is the nature of the conscious subject or substance itself (the unity of conscious field, enduring self & Modal arguments for the soul) & v) Addressing the Issue of Idealism (the 3rd Alternative to Dualism & Physicalism).

The Soul & Substance Dualism (Part 4): The 2nd Issue of Contention- Addressing the Skeptics on The Nature of the Conscious Subject. In Part 4, I look at 4 main arguments presented by Skeptics to advance a Counter-Soul or Counter-Substance Dualism position. These skeptical arguments include; i) The Problem of Dualism Interaction Argument, ii) Neuroscience Argument, iii) Evolution Inconsistency Argument and iv) Ockham’s Razor- the Simplicity Criterion Argument. Next we turn to look at 4 of the Main physicalist theories as to how to answer the second issue of contention of the Mind-Body Problem on the nature of the conscious subject or substance. These options include; i) Animalism, ii) Material Constitutionalism, iii) The Brain View and iv) “4D” Worm Theory. In assessing these physicalist arguments and theories, we find out just how badly skeptics fail to account for human consciousness!

The Soul & Substance Dualism (Part 3): The 2nd Issue of Contention- The Nature of the Conscious Subject. In Part 3, I provide 4 pro-soul arguments in favour of my minimal definition of substance dualism (i.e.- that our essential selves are not a physical substance). The 4 arguments include; i)The Unity of Consciousness Argument, ii) The Enduring Self Argument, iii) The Freewill Argument (which involves a detailed excursus on the 5 general areas of disagreement between Libertarian and Compatibilists notions of “freedom”) and finally, iv) The Modal Argument for Substance Dualism.

Part 2- The First Issue of Contention of the Mind-Body Problem- Establishing the Truth of Property-Dualism for Consciousness. In the second part of my Substance Dualism series, we turn to focusing on the first major issue of contention regarding the Mind-Body Problem; the nature of conscious properties and states (also relations, etc.). It is important to note that in Part 2, we do not assume the truth of substance dualism (the second issue of contention) and we can happily assume that “we” are in fact just our physical brain and central nervous system as the skeptics like to claim; instead our focus is specifically on the duality of the various mental properties and states that the brain produces on a phenomenological level. We first provide 2 major arguments in favour of a property-dualist position vs. physicalist position; these include what I call the “Differences Argument” and the “Knowledge Argument”. Finally, we end the series discussing and assessing 5 major physicalist versions that attempt to account for mental properties and states and show them to be found wanting in that regard.
