Showing results for "Death Matters" in Science

In each episode of Matters of Life and Death, brought to you by Premier Unbelievable?, John Wyatt and his son Tim discuss issues in healthcare, ethics, technology, science, faith and more. John is a doctor, professor of ethics, and writer and speaker on many of these topics, while Tim is a religion and social affairs journalist. We talk about how Christians can better engage with a particular question of life, death or something else in between.

In a culture in which science is believed to hold the answers to every question, spiritual realities like the soul are often ignored or ridiculed. We are told that neuroscience holds the key to explaining every aspect of human behavior. Yet Christian philosopher J. P. Moreland argues that scripture, sound philosophical reasoning, and everyday experience all point to the reality of an immaterial soul.

A philosopher teaches research into a microphone on the meaning of life and the philosophy of death. Each episode focuses on one article or book chapter from either of these fields of academic philosophy. Emphasis is placed upon making the material accessible to the public and not just for specialists. If you wonder whether we should fear death or what it even means for life to be meaningful, this podcast may be of some interest to you.
