#23: Does God Exist? Prof. Graham Oppy Says Neither Side Can Prove it
from Let’s Discuss · host The Prometheans
Can anyone actually PROVE God exists — or doesn't? Most people assume the debate has clear winners and losers. Professor Graham Oppy, one of the world's leading philosophers of religion, says it's far more complicated than that.In this episode, we sit down with Prof. Graham Oppy (Monash University, author of "Arguing About Gods" and "Atheism: The Basics") to explore why neither theists nor atheists have produced a truly convincing argument — and what that means for how we should think about belief, reason, and God.We cover:→ Why the cosmological, ontological & teleological arguments all fall short→ Why the Problem of Evil doesn't conclusively disprove God either→ What "a successful argument" even means in philosophy→ Whether agnosticism is the most rational position→ How smart, reasonable people can end up on completely opposite sidesWhether you're a believer, atheist, or somewhere in between — this conversation will challenge how you think about one of humanity's oldest questions.You can also watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/4fpo8mSR0zk?si=MHbw-X5c1wK9-9sqSubscribe to our YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@prometheans789?si=WQzcAQ1aRYFq8-gW
