Synopsis
How can a Christian understand unbelief? Answer your biggest questions about atheism with this thoughtful and balanced course. For much of Western history, belief in God seemed universal. As society has grown more secular, however, people have increasingly expressed disbelief in God. Today, a quarter of Americans are religiously unaffiliated, with many identifying as atheists. As the number of atheists has grown, so too have debates around the legitimacy of religion. Too often, these debates have been marked by misunderstanding on both sides. This audio course aims to bridge the gap by helping believers and non-believers engage in thoughtful and illuminating dialogue. Presented by Fr. Joseph Godfrey, a leading professor on the philosophy of religion, these lectures are both analytical and sensitive. Before becoming a Catholic priest, Fr. Godfrey engaged in an intensive study of the writings of atheists such as Nietzsche, Sartre, and Marx. By challenging his belief with such readings—along with writings on atheism from Christians such as Aquinas and Karl Rahner—he gained an enduring respect for atheist reasoning even as he affirmed his own faith. In these eye-opening lectures, you will explore the different forms of atheism and scientific theories used to support the nonexistence of God. In the process, you will gain a deeper understanding of evidential arguments against God while also considering how such evidence does not necessarily block paths to belief.This course is part of the Learn25 collection.

Full of interesting factoids, but basically it's an old Catholic priest grasping at straws to defend the idea of "god". He even cites Protestant apologists, ignoring that -to them- Catholics are paganizing idolaters...pfft! It seems that the best "god" (sounds generic but they mean lord Blackbeard from Palestine, mother Mary and the Bible lineup, not Krishna or Tudi Gong...) can manage is the "irreducible complexity" of a bacterial flagellum! Pfft! I'm glad I bought this on reduced price, or I'd feel scammed.
