Episode 4 – Show Notes
Andrew uses his ‘Is That In The Bible?’ slot to introduce us to a topic he researched deeply when a Christian and is a part of his journey to doubt. The verse is Matthew 24:34 “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.” It turns out not to be isolated. The prophecy of Jesus’ early return is found throughout the New Testament. So much so that a whole movement in the church believes that he must have returned, but the church fathers did not really notice. There is variety and nuance in these beliefs and Andrew helps us explore them.
Then we move to our section “Reason and God” and we look at a less well known argument for God’s existence by Thomas Aquinas, using his ideas on Essence and Existence. We use this to explore how some, often Catholic, apologists need to us first to adopt medieval thinking to understand the argument they are making.
A good peer reviewed article to pursue this further is on the Internet Encyclopaedia of Philosophy:

(You don't have to read past Section 1 & 2. )
Then Frances is in the hot seat as the other hosts interview her regarding her journey to atheism, which she completed rather earlier than Andrew or Ed managed. Watch out for a mention of Anthony Flew.
For the Climate Endnote, Ed mentions G7 government subsidies on fossil fuels, which he found amazing when he heard about them. Ed has started blogging on these Climate Endnotes here:
