Earthquakes, cancers, parasites: The work of a ‘cosmic prankster’? Sharon Dirckx vs Stephen Woodford

Where is God in a world of natural disasters? This week's episode dives deep into one of the most challenging philosophical questions humanity has grappled with for centuries: the problem of natural evil. Hosted by Vince Vitale the show delves into the complexities of evil that seem inherent to the fabric of our world – earthquakes, famines, diseases – phenomena that sometimes shake our faith in a benevolent God. We're joined by two brilliant minds with divergent perspectives. Sharon Dirckx, a renowned speaker, author, and Christian apologist, returns to Unbelievable? and brings her insights rooted in faith and intellect. With a background in brain imaging from the University of Cambridge, Sharon's latest book, "Broken Planet," offers a compelling exploration of the theological implications of natural disasters and diseases. Also returning as a guest to Unbelievable is Stephen Woodford, the influential voice behind the Rationality Rules YouTube channel. With a focus on dismantling religious and supernatural beliefs, Stephen brings a rationalist perspective to the table. #evil #naturalevil #pandemic #Satan #God #theodicy #disaster #tsunami #naturaldisaster #atheism #atheistvschristian SOCIAL LINKS: Twitter: https://twitter.com/unbelievablefe Facebook: / https://facebook.com/premierunbelievable Instagram: / https://instagram.com/premierunbelievable Tik Tok: / https://tiktok.com/@premier.unbelievable • Subscribe to the Unbelievable? podcast: https://pod.link/267142101 • Support us: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/donate FOR SHARON: Read Sharon's book Broken Planet: https://shorturl.at/mwxP8 ⬇️ Follow Sharon on Social Media X: @sharondirckx FB: @sharondirckx FOR RATIONALITY RULES: ⬇️ Follow Stephen on Social Media YT: @rationalityrules X: @RationalityRule IG: @rationality.r FB: @Rationalityrules
