Ep #69 - Something FROM NOTHING Reveals Intellectual BIAS Of A Great Philosopher?!

September 04, 2022 • SAFT Apologetics • Episode 69

Hypocrite! Biased! These are descriptions we don't want to hear. We sometimes assume that these don't apply to experts and the best minds out there. But it does apply to all. In continuation of our exploration of the creator behind the universe we take a pit stop to assess what and why one of the best atheist philosophers, J L Mackie, held out his objection against the cause of the universe. You'll be surprised to see how the commoner and the expert are often similar in intellectual inquiry.
