In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by philosophy PhD student, Mike DeVito, to talk about a co-authored paper he and Dr. Tyler McNabb just published on the apparent paradox between God's foreknowledge and libertarian free will. They employ James Anderson's MACRUE model in order to explain that even if the two doctrines appear paradoxical we can still be rational in affirming both.

Ep. 75 - Potency, Actuality, Agnosticism, and the Aristotelian Proof w/Joe Schmid
In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I talk with Joe Schmid about one of his recently accepted papers on Edward Feser's Aristotelian proof for God's existence. Joe takes aim at the first half of Dr. Feser's arg and he schools me on potency, actuality, and types of causal chains and regress. We also discuss his favorite reasons for and against God and what it might take for him to move from agnosticism to belief in God.

Ep. 73 - We Live in a Novel, Not a Computer Simulation w/Dr. James Anderson
In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I talk with Dr. James Anderson about two of my favorite concepts: the Simulation Hypothesis and the Authorial Analogy for the God-world relation. Dr. Anderson has been a huge influence on the way I think about these two concepts and I have sought to advance his ideas in several ways. I cannot say enough about him, he is the man and has largely shaped the pattern of my thought. I hope you enjoy this one, and if you don't I'm going to tell him and he will come destroy you.
