Alvin Plantinga

Blogmaster Emeritus, Mark Jensen, recently posted a series of videos of philosopher Alvin Plantinga on his blog, Dining With the Queen. I have been watching through them and enjoying them immensely. This clip below is on properly basic beliefs. Plantinga suggests that it is proper to assume God just as we assume that there are other minds or that the past really happened. I hope you enjoy this thoughtful video.

Alvin Plantinga Debate With Dan Dennett On Science And Religion

At a recent meeting of the American Philosophical Society Christian philosopher Alvin Plantinga debated Philosopher Daniel Dennett on the alleged conflict between science and religion. Apparently the debate was heated. You can download the audio file (the sound quality is not that great) here. What interested me most was an account I of the debate at prosblogion by a philosophy who writes an account sympathetic to Plantinga. The author writes anonomously because they believe their academic career would be at stake if it got out that they were sympathetic to Plantinga. Read the account here.

Here is my bias: Plantinga is awesome. Enough said.
