Logic gives you what you are rationally committed to based on what you already believe. Here you go @David Cruz and @Cedric Evans . From today's call.

I'm free from the writing dungeon, I can finally live! 😆 Okay, the Skool title is a little bit clickbait😅, but here's the manuscript I submitted to a certain Philosophy of Religion journal. Feel free to read it and let me know y'all's feedback regarding the argument's validity and/or how to popularize it! Thanks everyone!😎 Btw, I've made some slight adjustments in the manuscript from the last email I sent y'all @Than Christopoulos @Tim Howard Abstract. The hypothesis “Jesus became alive after execution” leaves open one persistent objection, that its cause remains underdetermined - deceptive spirits, advanced beings, syncretic deities, or natural laws could explain it. However, read against Jesus’ public claims, the signal fixes its meaning (Israel’s god vindicating Jesus). I argue that rivals are either parasitic on the Christian hypothesis or forfeit predicted specificity. The Christian hypothesis is antecedently constrained, while rivals lack independent attestation - causal adequacy does not entail evidential parity. Other evidence or priors can affect posterior probability, but the resurrection with historical context is discriminating evidence favoring the Christian hypothesis. Keywords: signaling theory, resurrection, agent identification, underdetermination, divine deception, Bayesian model comparison

Hey guys, the new course is finally HERE and we're super excited to roll it out to everyone here in the group. This will be a course that EVERY tier will have access to. It's called FOUNDATIONS. This course will help you build a firm foundation for learning, answering objections, building logic, and MUCH more. Today we're proud to release our first video within the Meta Skills module of FOUNDATIONS - "Distinguishing Claims, Arguments, and Evidence". This video will start you on your journey of understanding what objections are actually worth your time, and which ones are just straight up baseless claims. These new videos can be found in the "Classroom" Tab We hope to have a new video for you guys every week moving forward! So stay tuned!

This past Sunday, I taught the ontological argument! It was pretty cool trying to teach the argument itself, mock objections, and conclude with how we need to use arguments as Christians like a web that holds things together, or as Craig/Moreland put it, chain mail that is interwoven; not like a stack of arguments that necessarily depend on each other. It was super dope seeing them all say the argument in their own words and also have them try at some of the objections (listen in the docs). A takeaway I have is not to underestimate these children. As suggested in the docs, I taught them what possibility means and possible worlds according to philosophy as taught in Craig/Moreland and gave them examples that could make sense to show the difference between possibility and imagination. They also learned about Occam’s Razor when handling an objection, believe it or not. Now, granted, I don’t think I exactly defined it for them so there’s room for growth on my part, but overall, I pray it was a successful class. Now my class has 3 arguments they can give to backup their basic belief that there is a God: Cosmological Argument, Kalam, and the Ontological Argument. They’ve written them down and my hope is that they’ll get the chance to practice them. Feel free to steal these and lmk how it goes for any other teachers. Lmk if there’s feedback on these few things: - As a teacher, if I gave you this lesson, could you follow it and teach it? - is the lesson fun? Or could there be some physical element that really hits all learning styles? - Is it too much, too little, or inaccurate? Thanks fam!

Hey fam! I'm studying trope bundle theory and if there is a contradiction with this and Conciliar Trinitarianism, specifically the Council of Chalcedon (in relation to @Liam Moore 's new video). I'm at work at the same time, but I have long pauses between calls to chat a bit if anyone would like to join :)
