2021/04/01

If you haven't heard by now, Tim wrote a book. It's a good book. You should buy it and read it. However, some people thought it was a not good book. One person in particular, philosopher Guillaume Bignon, wrote a 50 page refutation of Tim's book. Tim wrote an article as a rejoinder to this refutation. Now we're talking about it. In this episode, we'll talk about the third of what Tim perceives to be Bignon's problems with his book: philosophical objections. Link to Tim's Rejoinder:

The Freethinking Podcasts ·

2021/03/11

Finally, in this episode, Tim and I stake out where we tend to lean in the epistemological debates I've been talking about. Spoiler alert: neither of us takes a particularly strong position, but we point out what we believe to be the biggest issues in both sides. We'd like to revisit this topic again in the future, hopefully with some special guests to help us think through these things.

Ep. 139 The Problem of Skepticism

The Freethinking Podcasts ·

2021/03/04

In this episode, we take a closer look at some of the skeptical theories of knowledge (if it's accurate to call them that). We talk about pure skepticism and weaker forms of skepticism, and see that it likely isn't a live option, particularly for the Christian, to maintain such a strong form of skepticism.

2021/02/25

In the second episode in our series discussing epistemology, we take a look at two opposing views on the nature of justification: internalism and externalism. I lay out what each of these views looks like and place it in the broader context of the epistemological project. Fun ep!

Ep. 137 Gina Carano & Epistemology

2021/02/18

No, those two topics are not related, but Tim and I start out this podcast talking about the Gina Carano controversy. If you're not interested in that, feel free to skip to about the 10 minute mark for our discussion on epistemology. In these next couple of episodes, I'll be laying out some various views and problems in epistemology that I learned about while attending my first semester in my master's program. This episode introduces the topics and talks about my general experience in school so

2021/02/11

I know, I know, we have not done a podcast in awhile. And by that I mean our last episode was August 27th of 2020! There's no real interesting story as to why we took such a long break, other than the fact that I (Scott) started my M.A. in Philosophy and Tim published a book. As it turns out, this takes up a lot of time. Well, fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately) for you all, we have come back from our extended hiatus well-rested and ready to talk some more apologetics and theology with you

The Freethinking Podcasts ·

2020/08/27

Dr. Kelly Fitzsimmons Burton is an epistemologist (a philosopher who studies knowledge) who has authored the books "Reason and Proper Function" and "Retrieving Knowledge: A Socratic Response to Skepticism." Tim Stratton believes her work in epistemology has strengthened his FreeThinking Argument and also provides a platform to speak about what we can KNOW and how we should think about the cultural issues of our day.

"Black lives matter." That statement is objectively true, but the organization that goes by that name is evil. Monique Duson used to support the organization but now seeks to replace BLM with the Center for Biblical Unity. Check out the Center for Biblical Unity here: https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/

Ep. 132 Chasing the American Dream with Wintery Knight

The Freethinking Podcasts ·

2020/08/18

Who is "The Wintery Knight"? He's often referred to as the "Batman" of Christian Apologetics. This is the case because hardly anybody has seen his face unmasked or knows his true identity. One thing we do know is that despite the name "Wintery" he is a person of color. Be that as it may, he loves America and opposes the Marxist revolution growing in our society. Please join our conversation on the "FreeThink or Die" YouTube Livestream! References: Black Lives Matter concerns:
