3 - Chaos, Order, and Origins

Emily and Greg dive into the pagan and Christian philosophies of time, chaos, and order. When we look at archetypes in the world--chaos, order, goodness, beauty--we assume we can tell these things apart, and distinguish between the important and the transient. As Christians, we believe we can understand because our Heavenly Father governs all things for His glory and our good, and He made the world to be understood--and as creatures who experience time and change, we can look forward to an eternity full of activity and exploration and live with thankfulness for the beauty God places in our world.

This episode features: Fix-It Felix, Jordan B. Peterson, Cloud-gazing with Linus and Lucy, the Cosmic Cow, Greg’s Favorite Christmas Hymn, Emily’s Least Favorite Christmas Hymns, the Moon Landing, Convenient Eastern Orthodox Time Warps.
