Ep. 47 - The Reality of Evil and (Dis)Belief in God – with Matt Jordan and Sam LiPuma

<p class="elementtoproof" style="margin-left: 30.0pt;"><span style= "color: black;">Does God exist? It’s a question no thoughtful person can ignore. For philosophers, it is a topic of perennial discussion and dispute. There are many arguments on both sides of the issue, and perhaps the most famous of them has to do with the reality of evil: Does all the suffering we see in the world make it irrational to believe in God, or can faith be reasonable even in the face of evil? On this episode of <em>More Human</em>, you will hear a debate between two Tri-C philosophers: Matthew Carey Jordan, the dean and chair for the humanities at the college’s Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Humanities Center, and Sam LiPuma, a professor of philosophy at our Western Campus in Parma.  </span></p> <p class="elementtoproof" style="margin-left: 30.0pt;"><span style= "font-size: 8.0pt; color: black;"> </span></p> <p class="elementtoproof" style="margin-left: 30.0pt;"><span style= "color: black; background: white;">If you'd like to view the PowerPoint slides used by Dean Jordan and Professor LiPuma, copy and paste this URL into your web browser: <a href= "https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PG4QQ4ojTjLSCTMngZIMRcEXx-EYoplt"> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PG4QQ4ojTjLSCTMngZIMRcEXx-EYoplt</a></span></p> <p class="elementtoproof" style="margin-left: 30.0pt;"> </p> <p style="margin-left: 30.0pt;"><span style= "color: black;"><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"> If you’d like to see a videorecording of the debate, go here: <a href= "https://tri-c.webex.com/recordingservice/sites/tri-c/recording/749ba2aa6628103c98e672d833eb8372/playback"> https://tri-c.webex.com/recordingservice/sites/tri-c/recording/749ba2aa6628103c98e672d833eb8372/playback</a></span></span></p>
