The next most requested debate was the series of discussions between Dr Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris, known as the Vancouver talks. They will begin the discussion by the issue of grounding ethics and “common ground,” and whether we can do metaphysics. The full debate is linked here. Live today at 330 PM CST […]
Our frend Michael Witcoff speaks to me and Fr. Dcn Dr Ananias on his podcast concerning our new project on Orthodox apologetics and argumentation and how to integrate transcendental arguments in a coherent way. We cover apologetic methodology, the chapters we have complete so far, the projected audiences, how we look at Thomistic philosophy and theology and its (inadequate) apologetic, and why the transcendental argument for God is much more biblical, patristic and philosophically sound.
Michael Lofton asks Jay about essence and energies, created and uncreated grace, authority in Orthodoxy, Gregory Palamas, Maximus the Confessor, among many other related topics!

Versus:
The well-known debate over Theism between JF and myself from last year. We cover atheism, nihilism, logic and whether the positions are coherent.
Unfortunately I have bronchitis, resulting in a doctor visit today and postponing the much anticipated debate with JF. I am also unable to offer subscribers a new talk for a few days, so please be patient and enjoy the new documentary with Oliver Stone or this fascinating documentary on the mathematics of nature and the Fibonacci sequence. As I’ve argued many times, it’s quite obvious mathematical entities are not conventions or social constructs and anyone who thinks they are, is a fool.

The knock down secret argument of praxeologist Robert Taylor is here to stump me! I invited him on to let him set up the challenge that it’s logically impossible for there to be a God. I haven’t heard his argument but he issued a challenge and we will see what he brings to the table.
