167 - Has Science Answered the Religious Question?
Neil deGrasse Tyson told Piers Morgan that we do not need to appeal to God to answer cosmological questions because the empirical sciences have demonstrated sufficient explanatory power.In the final episode of this C.S. Lewis and the News series, I use this exchange as an occasion to discuss Lewis's thoughts on the supposed challenges that modern science levies against theological explanations of causation.If you would like to see C.S. Lewis and the News become a regular show, become a patron and encourage others to do likewise!Watch the video of this episode and subscribe to my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/NQ2MHTUFNbcBecome a patron of Mythic Mind at patreon.com/mythicmindListen to all THREE Mythic Mind podcasts:Mythic MindMythic Mind GamesMythic Mind Movies & Shows(or become a patron to get all three shows in one ad-free feed)Once we hit 100 paid patrons, C.S.

166 - C.S. Lewis, Conspiracies, and the Power of Friendship
While it is certain that any number of things may be "really going on," it is not difficult to make the case that the modern internet-saturated culture is plagued by unhealthy conspiratorial thinking.What drives these tendencies?How can C.S. Lewis help us to stay grounded in reality and responsibility?In this episode, I seek answers to these questions with the help of Stephen Kent, who is a political TV commentator and columnist, author of How the Force can Fix the World, and host of Geeky Stoics.Watch the video of this episode and subscribe to my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/ACUz4222oEABecome a patron of Mythic Mind at patreon.com/mythicmindListen to all THREE Mythic Mind podcasts:Mythic MindMythic Mind GamesMythic Mind Movies & Shows(or become a patron to get all three shows in one ad-free feed)Once we hit 100 paid patrons, C.S.

165 - C.S. Lewis on Aliens, A.I., and Personhood
We were recently promised UFO/UAE files that would fundamentally disrupt biblical Christianity. In a shocking turn, these promises were not delivered, but this was a good occasion to discuss what C.S. Lewis had to say about the potential theological ramifications of discovering extraterrestrial life.This series is a new venture that may one day become a regular show.
