Ep. 25 – Apologetics

Author: The Sonar Network March 31, 2019 Duration: 43:30
Does God exist? In this episode we discuss all the reasons to believe in God. We talk about the cosmological argument, the teleological argument, and all the other “logical” arguments. Are they circular arguments? I’ll let you be the judge (but yes). Support Belief It Or Not Brought to you By: The Sonar Network https://thesonarnetwork.com/

Curious about the strange, surprising, and sometimes hilarious corners of faith across the globe? Belief It Or Not is your guide, courtesy of The Sonar Network. This isn't a dry theological lecture or a historical deep dive-think of it more as a couple of friends pulling up a chair, diving into the internet's rabbit holes, and having a genuine, often funny conversation about what they find. Each episode picks a topic, whether it's a modern movement, an ancient sect, or a bizarre religious artifact, and unpacks it with a mix of curiosity and comedy. You'll hear candid discussions that blend the sacred and the profane, where earnest questions about belief meet the absurdity of human invention. The tone is accessible and unpretentious, anchored in the hosts' admission that they aren't experts, just intrigued explorers. By weaving together elements of comedy, interview snippets, and reflections on performing arts and spirituality, this podcast creates a unique space where nothing is too odd to examine. It’s for anyone who finds religion fascinating, bewildering, or a source of great stories, offering a relaxed listen that informs and entertains in equal measure. Tune in for a consistently engaging look at the things people believe, and the wonderfully weird ways those beliefs take shape in the world.
