Truth Wanted 09.27 with ObjectivelyDan and B-Easy

In today's episode of Truth Wanted, ObjectivelyDan and B-Easy explore cosmological arguments, mysterious lights, and the problem of evil! Papo in Puerto Rico presents a cosmological argument claiming dependent beings prove God's existence. The hosts challenge his circular reasoning and ask him to demonstrate why the universe must be dependent rather than necessary. Why does one dependent being logically prove God exists? Can you explain the connection without assuming your conclusion? Georgi in Bulgaria discusses seeing mysterious lights in the sky and believes humans are non-physical eternal beings. He mentions quantum tunneling and claims we're in a physical reality for adventure. What evidence supports these claims beyond personal experience? Why should we accept this explanation over natural phenomena? George in FL, who studied to be a priest, calls to discuss why the hosts don't believe in God. He claims he's no longer Christian because churches won't baptize animals. The conversation becomes contentious as George repeatedly talks about previous callers instead of engaging with the hosts' explanations. Is anger really the reason for disbelief? Marie in TX asks about the Shroud of Turin and discusses miracles, cancer remissions, and exorcisms. The hosts explain spontaneous remission as a natural phenomenon and note that supposed demonic languages in exorcisms have been debunked. Would desperation change what we accept as evidence? Jake in MD identifies as agnostic theist and discusses whether it's more logical to believe everything happened by chance or that there's a guiding force. The hosts discuss the problem of evil and natural processes. Jake acknowledges he was raised Christian and trained to think everything has a reason, admitting fear may play a role.
