Does God Exist? Defending the Divine Based on Reason | Prof. Alexander Pruss
Jul 3, 2020
In this insightful discussion, Alexander Pruss, a Professor of Philosophy at Baylor University with expertise in metaphysics and philosophy of religion, explores the intersection of reason and faith in understanding God's existence. He articulates compelling arguments for the necessity of a first cause to avoid infinite regress. Engaging thought experiments challenge listeners to rethink infinity's implications on causation and existence. The conversation also addresses the principle of sufficient reason and how it informs our understanding of randomness and morality.
