On this episode of Intro to God Podcast, Pastor Jay Lee presents a philosophical and theological exploration of the existence of God titled 'Infinite Regression.' In this episode, Jay challenges the idea that science can fully explain the complexity of the universe and humanity, and discusses the possibility of a supernatural explanation. He presents questions about the origins of life and the universe, and argues that without something outside the natural order, there are logical problems and infinite regressions. Jay invites listeners to share their thoughts and comments, but stresses that the podcast isn't for those looking for an argument or trying to stump the speaker with information.

Episode 2: Intent, Purpose, Meaning

1 Recommendations

On this episode of Intro to God Podcast, host Jay Lee explores the argument from design and intentionality, which is the second classic argument for the existence of God. He tells a story that points out the irony of how people can so easily believe that the Universe could come together without a purposeful, intentional creator behind it. He also draws similarities between belief in a creator to the popular "Simulation Theory", noting that the universe seems to have an operating system, programming rules, and data, which suggests a programmer. The discussion addresses the relationship between purpose, intentionality, and the meaning of life, and how they are related to the question of whether God might exist. Jay also touches on the fact that listeners may not believe God exists but still deeply wish that he did, and the crushing despair that can come when looking for meaning or purpose in life.
