I appreciate being able to get a taste of the book without having to waste more time and money than necessary. Appreciate the insightful commentary too.
I miss Micheal Heiser but Jimmy is doing a great job on Catholicism and Mere Christianity through the natural and supernatural aspects. Jimmy had good debate vs Bart Ehrman and defended the New Testament . I’m reading the Resurrection of the Son of God by NT Wright for the second time and would be a good episode at looking at “Resurrection “ through the Old Testament, New Testament, mythology, post 70ad rabbinic thought and more.
1:10:52 I have to ask, do you know the numbers of every Mysterious World episode or do you have a quick reference before citing one? I hear it in Mysterious World itself, but that is somewhat scripted. This moment was quite off the fly though. I heard your interview on PWA so understand your above-average recall ability, but it still surprises me!
I am an atheist and can explain morality. Morality is the cognitive process of differentiating between human intentions, decisions, and actions that are morally appropriate (ought to occur in a certain dilemma) from those inappropriate (ought not to occur in a certain dilemma). Like all cognitive assessments, moral assessments always and necessarily involve the subject's perspective, understanding, experience, outlook and other personal considerations. Therefore, morality is _always and necessarily_ SUBJECTIVE. Each and every individual is the sole arbiter of his or her own morality. I, and I alone, determine which human behaviors are moral, amoral, or immoral, just as everyone else does.
@@Theo_Skeptomai If this is true, how would you explain the fact that we often feel constrained by our moral perceptions. Often we "want" to do something but don't because we know it is wrong or immoral. So if my, or your, morality is merely "subjective", why would we concoct moralities that stop us from doing what we "subjectively" wish to do?
@@Theo_Skeptomai But I was asking for your explanation as to why we "invent" moralities which conflict with our desires? Your explanation is that morality is purely a personal invention. So why don't all of us invent moralities which tell us that everything we do and want to do is moral and save ourselves any guilt of conscience?
2:28:00 FEE has a really good video on Wakanda and why advanced civilizations like this would not likely exist because of economics not allowing it. Worth a watch for your episode, Jimmy.

Glad I got to watch this so early! A fooler man would say first... welp guess I'm not too wise am I
2:18:05 why do you not consider the Council of Rome in the 4th century or at least Florence in the 15th century to infallibly define the canon?
You should review the second episode of the "Genius of Charles Darwin" documentary by Dawkins. He has a really tough time explaining morality there.

@callummccormick86 Because I have the _capacity_ to determine morally appropriate behaviors. I haven't the need or desire to do that which is immoral.

@callummccormick86 I DON'T "invent" moralities. I can not speak for you. I make moral _assessments._
Jimmy, have you ever presented evidence from the miracle of Lanciano to an atheist? If so, what was their response?
If you would like to present this miracle to me, I will gladly provide a response.
Pretty sure Jimmy does not like to argue for theism from miracles.
@@tonyl3762 Would Jimmy consider arguing from evidence or sound argument?
@@Theo_Skeptomai Jimmy has formal philosophical training. Are you trying to be cheeky?
@tonyl3762 I have formal theological training.
So, are you going to answer my question?
