"What is truth?" Pilate's ancient question is more relevant than ever. Unlike him, we’re not walking away. Rational Faith is a podcast dedicated to an evidence-based quest for answers. Across the seasons, we examine topics such as the reliability of Scripture, the foundational truths of the Christian faith, and the rationality of belief in light of modern biology—from DNA error-correction to ribosomes, ATP-synthase nanomotors, and much more. If you're looking for a faith that engages with evidence, your journey starts here.

episode Prophecy, Math, Archaeology, and History: Evidence for the Risen Christ cover

Prophecy, Math, Archaeology, and History: Evidence for the Risen Christ

In this episode of Rational Faith, Paul and Deborah explore one of the biggest questions in history: Is it actually rational to believe that Jesus rose from the dead? This is not a “just believe” episode. It is a deep dive into prophecy, historical timelines, archaeology, Roman and hostile witnesses, and the rise of the early Christian movement. From Daniel and Zechariah to Pliny, Lucian, and the Gospel accounts, this episode asks whether the resurrection is merely a religious symbol—or a real event that best explains the evidence. At the heart of the discussion is the power of fulfilled prophecy. If multiple prophetic themes and timelines truly converge in Jesus across centuries, then that convergence is not just impressive literature—it is a profound sign that history is being guided by God. And if that is true, fulfilled prophecy is not a side note to the Christian faith; it is itself a powerful miracle woven into history. Was Jesus truly crucified under Pontius Pilate? Did the early Christians invent the resurrection, or were they responding to something they believed had really happened? And why did the message of a crucified Messiah spread so quickly through the Roman world? Whether you are a skeptic, a seeker, a student, or a believer wrestling with hard questions, this episode invites you to follow the evidence with honesty—and consider what the risen Christ might mean for your life today.

episode Rational Faith — The Wound Up Universe cover

Rational Faith — The Wound Up Universe

What if the Big Bang wasn’t a chaotic blast… but a Precision Launch? In this episode, Sophia steps into the OntologyEngine—a black-box system built to “read” the universe through measurements—and follows a trail of receipts that don’t just describe a beginning… they hint at calibration: The Baby Photo: a thermal afterglow so perfectly smooth it reveals the infant universe behaved like a single coherent unity. The Tuned Seeds: primordial ripples set in a narrow life-permitting band—too small and nothing forms; too large and everything collapses. The Hidden Ruler: a geometric echo stamped into space early on, still shaping where galaxies form billions of years later. The Recipe: an ingredient list of matter and energy that was effectively locked in before the first star ever ignited—then confirmed again by independent physics. The deeper question isn’t just how the universe began… but why it began with a rulebook, a constitution of laws, and a mathematical code minds can read. Is the multiverse a scientific answer—or an escape hatch? Is the cosmic code an accident—or a language?And does a law of nature imply a Lawgiver? They say the universe began with an explosion. But explosions don’t write rulebooks. 🎧 Listen now. The evidence is wound up.

episode Stones & Bones – Rational Faith in a Valley of Dry Bones cover

Stones & Bones – Rational Faith in a Valley of Dry Bones

In this episode, Paul and Deborah walk through one of the most haunting prophecies in the Bible: Ezekiel’s vision of a valley filled with “very dry bones.” They ask hard questions along the way: * Does Ezekiel 37 really map onto Jewish history from AD 70 to the Holocaust and the rebirth of Israel in 1948? * Did Jesus actually predict the fall of the Temple before it happened—or is that just church spin? * How do Ezekiel 38–39 (Gog and Magog) and the as-yet-unbuilt temple fit into the story? * And if Israel’s regathering is real, what does that mean for Palestinians, war, and the two-state solution? They argue that “Love the stranger” and “Protect your people” are not opposites, but the twin rails of a moral faith. This is not a prophecy chart rant and it’s not a political slogan.Paul and Deborah wrestle with: * History you can Google, * Prophecies you can read for yourself, * The grief of both Israeli and Palestinian parents, * And what Torah actually says about strangers, enemies, justice, and restraint in war. If you’re skeptical, there’s a chair for you at the table.If you’ve ever wondered whether “stones and bones” have anything to do with today’s headlines—or with your own story—this conversation is for you.

Rational Faith: Life is foresighted engineering – The greatest design

Is life the product of blind accidents—or does modern biology reveal the hallmarks of foresighted engineering? Join Sophia and Ethan as they explore the mind‑boggling machinery that powers every living thing. They show how early Earth, dominated by microbes, was alreadyrunning high‑tech—innovations thatrival our best engineering. Notslow tinkerers waiting on random changes across millions of years, but a revolution from the start. In this episode: ·      DNA’s software: multi‑layererror correction that keeps copying errors rare. ·      Cellular 3D printers: ribosomes turning digital code into working machines. ·      Microscopic motors: ATP nanomotors spinning at thousands to tens of thousands of rpm. ·      Real‑time innovation: built‑in toolkits (stress responses, HGT/horizontal gene transfer, transposons) that adapt in hours, not eons. ·      A “learning” firewall: your immune system builds new receptor combinations to defeat novel invaders. ·      And much more… Don’t miss the fun stuff: ·      Viruses hijacking the cell’s highways likelittle molecular pirates. ·      Bacteria changing uniforms mid‑battle likesoldiers in disguise. ·      A garbage can that’s really a high‑security shredder‑and‑recycler. ·      Mutation dice that aren’t fair—life loads the dice. Skeptic‑friendly and evidence‑first—we ask hard questions, welcome pushback, and let the data speak. Is life a cosmic fluke—or the ultimate feat ofengineering? Curious? Tap play.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
