Philosophy Friday: The Evolutionary Argument Against Naturalism with Dr. Stephen Napier

Pat Flynn is joined by Dr. Stephen Napier (professor at Villanova University) to discuss a variety of topics, including a particularly interesting (and provocative) argument aimed at showing the rational incompatibility of modern evolutionary theory, on the one hand, and metaphysical naturalism, on the other. This is commonly known as the evolutionary argument against naturalism, developed prominently by Alvin Plantinga (see below for more). After that, Pat and Dr. Napier exchange ideas on the problem of evil and divine hiddenness.
