Welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. I'm producer Caleb.

And today I'm joined by Dr. Rod Rosenblatt, Dr. Scott Keith, back from the dead at last.

Oh my gosh.

I'm sorry. Maybe that was a little morbid.

He has been gone three episodes.

If you noticed, if you've been listening, you'll have

missed him throughout the last couple weeks. I wasn't dead, though. Was it walking pneumonia?

It was an aggressive strain of bacterial pneumonia. So I don't think it's walking pneumonia. I think

it's on your back pneumonia. It was rough it was rough it's the first stages of zombieitis

it is rough they tell me now i i mean that well i'll tell you off campus but i have to go back in

and get another blood draw to be sure that they got the right stuff for the right back tier whatever

not over yet but i mean i am feeling better and sitting in for dr adam francisco today is dr dan

dean who's a member of the thinking fellowship at 1517 the legacy project and also a professor at

concordia university irvine specializing in philosophy of science that's right he's the resident

philosopher at CUI,

and we're blessed to have him here on the show today,

especially since the topic is going to be something we touched on in our introduction,

which was the various methods of apologetics,

and one of those is philosophical apologetics.

But we didn't at the table feel like we could tackle this as easily without a philosopher so it's

kind of like asking us to do the doctrine of the church we should probably bring a pastor around to help us out

with and excuse me yeah or he can take my place so in order to bring you the best of the best we brought
