Worldview Legacy | The Think Institute #157 What Happens When a Protestant Apologist Challenges Catholic AI (and Builds His Own)
What happens when an artificial intelligence trained on Catholic theology debates a Protestant apologist? In this fascinating episode, Joel Settecase, founder of The Think Institute, takes on “Justin AI” — the Roman Catholic apologetics bot from Catholic Answers — in a deep, logical, and biblically grounded debate about purgatory, repentance, and salvation.
Joel walks through his step-by-step exchange with the Catholic AI — exposing internal contradictions in its logic about sin, repentance, and purgatory — and shows how Scripture provides a far more coherent worldview. Then, he introduces ThinkGPT, the Think Institute’s own biblical AI assistant, designed to equip Christian men to think biblically, defend the faith, and disciple their families.
This is part theological analysis, part tech demo, and 100% worldview training — a must-listen for anyone navigating faith, reason, and the rise of AI in ministry.
