The Sanity Of Belief - Can God Explain Everything?

from Unbelievable?

Is belief in God rational, or is it something no reasonable person should accept? In this live Unbelievable? school debate recorded in Sir Henry Floyd Grammar School in Aylesbury, Andy Kind hosts philosopher Dr Joshua Sijuwade (University of Birmingham) and physician-educator Julius Weinberg (Trustee, National Secular Society) for a rigorous and fiery exchange on the sanity of belief. They tackle some of the biggest questions in philosophy of religion: What does it mean for a belief to be rational?Can we ever be justified in believing in God?Is fallibilism the only sane epistemic stance?Does suffering make God impossible? Can moral courage, compassion and virtue exist in a world without pain?And what evidence — if any — points to a divine being?From epistemology and Bayesian reasoning to the problem of evil, moral exemplars, consciousness, cosmology, and whether God is even a good explanation, this robust debate will challenge believers and skeptics alike. Don't miss today's fast-paced, high-level, and rather entertaining discussion for anyone curious about how reason, doubt, and faith intersect.
