Ep. 75 - Potency, Actuality, Agnosticism, and the Aristotelian Proof w/Joe Schmid

In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I talk with Joe Schmid about one of his recently accepted papers on Edward Feser's Aristotelian proof for God's existence. Joe takes aim at the first half of Dr. Feser's arg and he schools me on potency, actuality, and types of causal chains and regress. We also discuss his favorite reasons for and against God and what it might take for him to move from agnosticism to belief in God.  For more from Joe check out his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvWRKmcplBTYQS49AVGsLgw If you like this podcast, then support it on Patreon for $1, $3, or $5 a month.
