I'm Giving Up Certainty for Lent
By Mortgage Hill Musings.
Mortgage Hill Musings makes a living teaching science concepts. When he doesn’t have an answer or a sufficient explanation, he is happy to admit his ignorance. His hope is that, through the practice of Street Epistemology, others will come to enjoy the freedom that such honesty provides.

Why in this world
Are we here in this world
Are we imbued with a purpose or did we just beat all the odds
Questions are raised
Sometimes fact vs faith
Are you up to the challenge of balancing science and gods
Listen to skeptics
Listen to priests
Then let your own voice tell you what to believe
It's OK to think about it
OK to wonder why
'Cause If you never doubt it
How can you know it's right
Truth is a moving target
Aim for it anyway
Find your own answers
It's OK It's OK
Are you perplexed
By an “inerrant” text
With an axe head that floats and fire falling out of the sky
Will you conform
To the societal norm
Or let evidence outweigh emotion and dare to defy
Open your mind
You've got to be strong
You may be out-numbered but your not alone

Jared and I discuss his belief in the Christian God. We briefly talk about how the Fine Tuning of nature for life initially gave him confidence that a God exists, but his interaction with God active in his life is what most contributes to his confidence now. The examples he talks about where it is most obvious that God was active in his life is a series of circumstances that were both beneficial and rare. We discuss the relationship between odds, our confidence, and the truth.

The Religious Experience! Something people from all over the world report having. I would say this is one of the most common reasons I hear for why people believe in God. And it is the reason Katie, the lady I speak with in this conversation, believes. We talk about whether this experience is unique to religion, and whether it is able to establish the truthfulness of one’s religious beliefs.
A lot of the instructional material in this interview on how to conduct Street Epistemology came from The Complete Street Epistemology Guide, which you can find at the Street Epistemology website:
