Epistemology & Religion with David GORNOSKI | Hn 28
Adam interviews David Gornoski, host of A Neighbor’s Choice – a show that looks at politics, science, and culture through the lens of Jesus’ personhood revolution. What happens when an atheist and a very religious man try to find common ground? Lots of good stuff!
00:00 – Intro. What is David Gornoski all about: A Neighbor's Choice, first on radio, now as a podcast.
04:30 -- Adam asks David to talk about his understanding of the "religious" nature of human nature. On David's framing, religious experiences are much more "natural" than you might think.
07:22 -- How do you make sure that your "god-shaped" hole is filled with good things and not bad?
10:59 – How do we get our values? Also, is religion ideology? Did the Enlightenment hurt or help? How can we improve both?
15:07 – Can the division between science and religion be healed? Is humility the key?
26:03 – Adam rants about Brightline. A discussion of various Las Vegas issues ensues.
28:21 – Are myths religion for atheists? David has thoughts on our oldest stories. Also, what mechanism did humans invent to break us out of our worst violent tendencies?
42:29 – Adam advocates a violation of the NAP. Then asks an incoherent question. David responds in a deep way with a very thought-provoking interpretation of Christianity.
53:49 -- David talks about how human society is moving away from violence because we are "Christ-haunted".
57:34 -- If Christianity was a big "leveling up" from religions that came before, what's next? Anything? Or is Christianity the final "haunting"?
67:44 -- Violence and coercion is like any other addiction, you need more and more of the "fix" to get the results you're after. The only solution is to abandon the nasty thing entirely.
68:27 -- Adam blames Christianity for the current trans-insanity. Joking, mostly.
77:14 -- Outro.
