Dr. Randal Rauser joins me once again, this time to discuss the tradition Christian doctrine of eternal conscious torment (ECT), and his objections to this view. We also discuss issues arising for alternatives to ECT, like annihilationism and universalism, ending with three objections to the doctrine of Heaven. For more of Randal's work, check out his blog here.

Dan Linford, philosopher of physics at Old Dominion University, joins me to discuss the Malament-Manchak theorem and its implications for debates about the origin of the universe, the limitations confronting cosmology, what it means to say that space and time "emerge" from a non-spatiotemporal structure, and much else besides.
