In this episode, we hear from another one of my heroes, John Richards of Loggerhead Acres Turtle Farm. John has probably done more to save alligator snapping turtles than anyone else in history. These turtles were in a bad way, being commercially harvested for Campbell's turtle soup and for the turtle meat market when John stepped in and saved over 1,000 adults from the market and began reproducing them for conservation and for the turtle hobby. The more people became educated about these beautiful beasts, the less they wanted to eat them and the more they wanted to study them.

In this episode, Kant scholar, Chris Firestone, gives us an intro to Kant and then goes in on his interpretation of Kant's religious views, particularly Kant's views on Christianity. Firestone argues that most people who read Kant stop at the first Critique (of Pure Reason) but to truly know what Kant believed you must read the rest of Kant's critiques (his second and third) along with some of his other writings.  if you've enjoyed the podcast, then consider becoming a Patreon supporter.

In this episode I define human as being made in the image of God, then I try to flesh out what it means to image God through the Triperspectival method of John Frame. I explain that to image God is to be a re-interpreter, a sub-creator, and an emulative lover. If none of that makes any sense to you, no fear, it will all be explained!  Time Is Running by MusicLFiles Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/6203-time-is-running License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

In this episode I cover the Liar Paradox, which historically has been some variant of "the sentence you are now reading is a lie". It's paradoxical in that if it's true, then it's false but if it's false then it's true. I give an overview, a couple proposed solutions, my own solution, and then I go over Jewish satirical humor in order to explain the Apostle Paul's answer to the Liar Paradox in Titus 1:12. Isn't that crazy!? The Liar Paradox made its way into the Bible lol. Enjoy. 

In this episode, we answer the question in the title by looking at the philosophy of friendship and personhood, the philosophy of artificial intelligence and some problems which arise in it, and then we look at the theology of friendship to justify asking the question in the first place.

In this episode, I survey three answers to this question: a univocal, an equivocal, and an analogical answer.  Ultimately, I side with the analogical answer and I explain why.
