In today's episode of Truth Wanted, Kelley Laughlin and Aaron Jensen explore the limits of free will, the necessity of universal logic, and the origins of our universe! From the "hellscapes" of Oregon to the mysteries of the Big Bang, the hosts challenge listeners to move beyond religious labels and ground their worldview in evidence.
Jamie in TX questions the free will defense. If heaven has free will without evil, why is the earthly trial needed? Hosts distinguish between choice and will, citing biology. Does the concept of heavenly robots invalidate the trial?
Goatus in OH asks if universal truths like logic exist without God. Hosts explore logical axioms and scientific pragmatism. They argue these are tools for navigating reality rather than divine mandates. Does a lack of grounding make logic arbitrary?
Stephen in NY redefines God as "determinism." Hosts identify this as a relabeling exercise with no explanatory power. They challenge the link between divine intent and material physics. Why use the God label for natural laws we already understand?
John in Canada asks about the Big Bang and universe origins. They discuss singularities, time travel, and dark matter. The hosts stress the value of saying "I don't know" when evidence is absent. Will we ever observe the beginning of time?
Thank you for joining us today! We will see you next week and don't forget to add your answer to this week's We Want The Truth question: what's the most ridiculous religious claim that you've believed?
