Episode 23: The FreeThinking Argument - Interview With Tim Stratton





Atheists pride themselves on being "Free Thinkers", but if atheism, and particularly the naturalistic version of it is true, can they or anyone else really be free thinkers? The guest in this episode is Tim Stratton of FreeThinking Ministries (www.freethinkingministries.com) says that if naturalism is true, no one, be they atheist or theist, can be free thinkers. He defends an argument called The FreeThinking Argument, which was the topic of his Master's Thesis at Biola University.

--------------

To help you keep up with the discussion, I've included the steps of the arguments in the show notes.

1: If naturalism is true, the immaterial soul does not exist.

2: If the immaterial soul does not exist, then libertarian free will does not exist.

3: If libertarian free will does not exist, then rationality and knowledge do not exist.

4: Rationality and knowledge exist.

5: Therefore, libertarian free will exists.

6: Therefore, the soul exists.

7: Therefore, naturalism is false.

8: The best explanation for the existence of the soul is the biblical God.
