Ruth Jackson returned to school to host this lively debate between Peter Atkins, renowned atheist and scientist, and Keith Fox, Christian biologist and theologian. In front of a live young audience, they explore one of the most profound questions: Is religion, just wishful thinking? Atkins and Fox tackle the big questions at the intersection of science, faith, and ethics, including: Are we just matter? Can science explain everything, or are there questions beyond its scope? Will further advancements in technology—like space exploration, genetic modification, and AI override any need or belief in God? From the accusation of "playing God" in genetic engineering to the nature of consciousness in artificial intelligence, this conversation challenges assumptions about what it means to be human and the role of faith in a scientific world. 👉 Don’t miss this debate that examines science's limits, religion's relevance, and humanity’s quest for meaning. Key Topics: Is science inherently at odds with belief in God? The ethical implications of genetic modification and the "playing God" debate. Can AI ever achieve personhood, and what does this mean for our understanding of humanity? The role of space exploration in shaping worldviews and beliefs. Tune in for a fascinating clash of ideas and perspectives that will leave you questioning the nature of faith, science, and human purpose. 👉 Join the conversation and access exclusive content at www.premierunbelievable.com! 🎉📢 SOCIAL LINKS Twitter: https://twitter.com/unbelievablefe Facebook: / https://facebook.com/premierunbelievable Instagram: / https://instagram.com/premierunbelievable TikTok: / https://tiktok.com/@premier.unbelievable • Subscribe to the Unbelievable? podcast: https://pod.link/267142101 • More shows, free eBook & newsletter: https://premierunbelievable.com • For live events: http://www.unbelievable.live • For online learning: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/training • Support us in the USA: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow • Support us in the rest of the world: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/donate

What divides Catholics and Protestants theologically? How does the role of Mary and the authority of scripture shape the faith journeys of believers in these traditions? Premier Unbelievable?, host Andy Kind moderates a compelling dialogue between Dr. Leonardo De Chirico and Trent Horn, examining the key theological distinctions and shared values between Catholicism and Protestantism. The conversation goes there - the authority of scripture, the concept of Sola Scriptura, and the role of the papacy. Both guests share personal faith journeys—Leonardo’s transition from Catholicism to Protestantism and Trent’s conversion to Catholicism—highlighting how missionary work, cultural influences, and a quest for authentic faith shaped their beliefs. Key topics include the role of Mary in theology, the nature of church authority, and the historical context behind doctrinal differences. The discussion explores Catholicism’s emphasis on unity through institutional structures, contrasted with Protestantism’s focus on personal faith and salvation by grace. While addressing points of contention, such as the interpretation of scripture and the role of oral tradition in the early church, the guests find common ground in their shared commitment to scripture and the centrality of Christ.

🌟 Is faith necessary for a moral life? 🌟 Is belief in God essential for a meaningful moral framework? Or can secular philosophy give us all the answers? 🤔 This week on Unbelievable?, host Ruth Jackson 🎙️ welcomes two dynamic thinkers to explore one of the most profound debates: the role of God in shaping our moral universe. 🌌✨ Recorded live at Waddesdon School, UK with Aylesbury Vale Youth for Christ, this episode promises to challenge everything you thought you knew about faith and philosophy. 🙌 👤 British philosopher at Oxford University, Stephen Law, creator of the famous "Evil God Challenge," isn’t afraid to question the existence of a benevolent deity in a world full of suffering. Is God really all-good, or could an “evil god” be just as plausible? 😱💡 👤 Joining him is Christian scholar from Cambridge University, Matthew Su, whose perspective celebrates life as a gift from a loving creator. For Matthew, God not only grounds morality but gives life ultimate meaning and purpose. 🌱💖 🔥 This episode tackles the biggest questions: Why would a good God allow suffering? Is morality possible without divine authority? And can secular ethics truly guide humanity? 🧠💬 🎧 Don’t miss this clash of worldviews, where belief meets scepticism.
