Episode 106: Karl Popper and God

The Theory of Anything - A podcast by Bruce Nielson and Peter Johansen - Tuesdays

Categories:

This week we discuss a short interview with Karl Popper from 1969 where he discusses God and religion. Specifically, he makes a case for agnosticism, asserts that all men are religious, and discusses the problem of evil. We use this as a starting point to consider if we live in an inherently meaningful universe or one ruled by something like entropy. We discuss arguments for the former related to fine tuning, causation, and beauty.Bonus: Bruce proclaims himself one of those much hated Fideist! (A group disliked by both rationalists and religionists alike.)Support us on Patreon⁠
