Richard SwinburneEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

Richard Swinburne and Philip Goff debate why are we here? Is it time we moved on from both God and Atheism, as Goff suggests in his new book Why? The Purpose of the Universe? Unbelievable Host Vince Vitale guides us through as Goff argues that the traditional God is a bad explanation of cosmic purpose. Instead, he explores a range of alternative possibilities for accounting for cosmic purpose, from the speculation that we live in a computer simulation to the hypothesis that the universe itself is a conscious mind. Richard Swinburne is a Fellow of the British Academy, and has received honorary doctorates from three overseas universities. He was Professor of the Philosophy of Religion at the University of Oxford from 1985 until 2002. Since then he has continued to lecture extensively in many countries. He is best known for his trilogy on the philosophy of theism -The Coherence of Theism, The Existence of God, and Faith and Reason. Richard Swinburne and James Sterba are launching a new debate Why would a good God allow so much suffering? early in 2024. Dr Philip Goff is Professor of Philosophy at Durham University. His research focuses on consciousness and the ultimate nature of reality. Goff is best known for defending panpsychism, the view that consciousness pervades the universe and is a fundamental feature of it. Richard’s papers 'The existence of God', 'The problem of evil' are accessible on his website: https://users.ox.ac.uk/~orie0087/framesetpublications.shtml and his books are available here: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/is-there-a-god-9780199580439?cc=gb&lang=en& Book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Purpose-Universe-Philip-Goff/dp/0198883765 Website: https://philipgoffphilosophy.com/ Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@MindChat Social Media: https://twitter.com/Philip_Goff • 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

We revisit a riveting dialogue from Season 4 of The Big Conversation, from 2022. With their diametrically opposed beliefs on the ideas around God's existence, Francis Collins, a geneticist who found faith in Christianity, and Richard Dawkins, renowned atheist author and evolutionary biologist debate biology, belief and COVID: can science and fight be reconciled? We also look at Dawkins' recent exchange with Christian philosopher Richard Swinburne, as a natural extension to some of the issues discussed with Francis Collins, and will also give you a sneak peek of an exhilarating two-parter coming up in Season 5 of The Big Conversation: a debate on a pressing contemporary topic!

The existence of God is the most discussed, and perhaps the most important, question in philosophy. For the majority of the world's population, God provides meaning, morality, metaphysics, and hopefully, salvation. A rich history of scholarship defending God's existence has meant theism has long been considered to be a reasonable worldview; however, with the rise of secularism and the new atheist movement, a fiery and passionate debate has ensued: one of science vs. religion. Our question: can the two be reconciled? In this episode, we'll be discussing God's existence with one of contemporary philosophy's most influential thinkers, Professor Richard Swinburne. Best known for his great trilogy of books – The Coherence of Theism, The Existence of God, and Faith and Reason – Professor Swinburne's impact on philosophy of religion has been enormous... from high school classrooms to university halls, every teacher knows his name and every student must wrestle with his work. According to Swinburne, theism is the friend – and not the enemy – of science; for God 'explains everything that we observe', from the universe's existence and the scientific laws which operate within it, to its extraordinary miracles and conscious creatures. 'If we want a complete explanation of the universe', says Swinburne, 'then science needs God.' Contents Part I. Is there a God? Part II.

از #جو_اِشمید به عنوان میزبان همراه خودم دعوت کردم تا مصاحبه ای با #ریچارد_سوئینبرن داشته باشیم. بسیار خوشحالم که توانستم این قسمت ارزشمند را به مجموعه فعالیت های خودم اضافه کنم. در این قسمت، به همراه جو، به آخرین کتاب سوئینبرن «آیا روح هستیم یا جسم؟» پرداختیم. مطالب زیاد بود و وقت بسیار کم لذا مجبور شدیم از الگوها و سوالاتی که آماده کرده بودیم گاها فاکتور بگیریم اما از نتیجه نهایی بسیار خرسندم ـ برای خواندن مطالب بیشتر از جو میتوانید به وبگاه وی نگاهی بیاندازید:ـ Majesty of Reason | Critical Thinking and Philosophy (wordpress.com) برای تماشای کانال فوق العاده وی نیز اینجا:ـ Majesty of Reason - YouTube For this episode, I asked Joe Schmid to be my geust co-host as we had the chance to have Richard Swinburne on the show. We had a lot of ground to cover but given the time restrictions we had no choice but to skip a few of our points and questions. Regardless, I am very happy with the results.

In this episode of the podcast, I interview Richard Swinburne, one of the most eminent Natural Theologians of all time. Toward the end he gives two arguments for Dualism (roughly the idea that we humans are composed of two substances, one physical and one non-physical). Really interesting interview!

Today's interview is with Christian philosopher or religion, Richard Swinburne. He is an Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford.

He talks about his background, the changes in Christian philosophy in the past decades, the goal for the Christian philosopher, defending and advocating Christianity, his approach to arguing for the existence of God, objections to Christianity, answering the problem of evil & suffering, his advice to Christian defenders, and more.
