#88 Can There be Evidence for God? | Eight Philosophers Debate

from The Uncertainty Podcast · host Miles K. Donahue

Is it even possible to have empirical evidence for God's existence? What if the stars realigned to spell out "I exist! Sincerely, God." Wouldn't THAT count as evidence for God? It seems that the answer is yes. But then, various objections to arguments for God seem to imply that even this extravagant, awesome evidence for God would not be any evidence whatsoever for theism. To many philosophers, that implication implies that these objections prove too much, and must therefore fail. In this debate, eight philosophers go head-to-head over these fascinating questions.Video of this interview is available on YouTube.To support the channel, do please oh please consider donating, either via PayPal or Buy Me a Coffee.Follow me on X because you’re awesome.EPISODE CHAPTERS00:00:00 Introduction00:02:10 Miles Donahue’s opening statement00:07:46 Brian Cutter’s opening statement00:13:16 Noah McKay’s opening statement00:18:30 Travis Dumsday’s opening statement00:23:30 Paul Draper’s opening statement00:29:15 Alex Malpass’s opening statement00:35:18 Nathan Bray’s opening statement00:40:41 Kevin Scharp’s opening statement00:47:15 Miles Donahue’s cross-examination01:03:22 Alex Malpass’s cross-examination01:20:15 Brian Cutter’s cross-examination01:33:41 Nathan Bray’s cross-examination01:49:03 Paul Draper’s cross-examination02:01:21 Travis Dumsday’s cross-examination02:10:54 Kevin Scharp’s cross-examination02:24:49 Noah McKay’s cross-examination Get full access to Miles K.
