10:33 David: Grand Blanc, MI: William Lane Craig’s Moral Argument, God’s Nature 30:19 Johanan: La Miranda, CA: Mind is Immaterial, God’s “Mind” is Universe 54:12 Hamish: Perth, Scotland: Morality and the Mind of God 1:06:23 Stephen: Knoxville, TN: Coming Out as Atheist to 83 Year Old Mother The Atheist Experience episode 20.04 for January 24, 2016, with Matt Dillahunty and Jen Peeples. In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Matt Dillahunty and Jen Peeples first tackle claims that atheists are inherently more intelligent than theists, critiquing faulty studies on IQ and religion. They then dive into deep discussions on the foundations of morality, the philosophical leaps required to prove idealism through consciousness and quantum physics, and the delicate personal decisions involved in coming out as an atheist to religious family members. David in MI argues for William Lane Craig's Moral Argument, claiming objective moral duties cannot exist without God. Matt rejects the first premise, asserting that while the foundation (caring about well-being) is subjective, objective assessments of actions based on well-being are possible. The hosts argue that divine command theory inherently makes morality subjective, capricious, and often leads to atrocities. Johanan in CA presents arguments for Idealism, combining Philosophy of Mind (rejecting substance dualism) and Quantum Gravity, suggesting physical reality emerges from integrated information, which he equates to a conscious, God-like mind. Matt criticizes the extraordinary leap from information to a purposeful God, emphasizing that this complex model is useless if the mind cannot reliably communicate intentions to humans. Hamish in Scotland contends that God is the greatest factor in human well-being and that the Bible accurately reflects His moral commands, even when sanctioning slavery because it was time-relative. Matt challenges this moral relativism, pointing out that God’s commands (like slavery) conflict with well-being and basic human rights. Matt concludes that a God who threatens wrath to compel obedience is immoral. Stephen in TN, an atheist with a Southern Baptist upbringing, seeks advice on whether to tell his 83-year-old mother, fearing the news might upset her late in life. Matt and Jen advise him to weigh the consequences carefully, noting that there is no obligation to disclose his atheism, especially if he prefers to protect his relationship and avoid needless distress. Thank you for tuning in today! We hope to have the phone issues resolved soon. We will see you all next week! WHAT IS THE ATHEIST EXPERIENCE?
