    The Problem of Animal Suffering: An Atheist and Christian in Conversation

    November 13, 2018 / Randal / The Tentative Apologist / No Comments

    A couple of months ago, YouTuber SkyDive Phil invited me onto his popular channel for a discussion on a topic with which he is very familiar: the problem of animal suffering. In fact, I first became acquainted with Phil’s work when he appeared a few years ago on Unbelievable to debate that very topic with Christian philosopher Michael Murray. Phil has also been on Unbelievable to discuss the Big Bang and the multiverse. I was always impressed with Phil’s articulate approach to these fascinating issues, so I was more than happy to participate.

    We recorded the show in early October and it was just uploaded to YouTube. Unfortunately, the WiFi in my office cut out early in the interview and so I moved to a classroom at the seminary to complete the interview/discussion. But other than that, things went very well!
