Today on Pints with Aquinas, I\'m joined by Fr. James Brent, O.P. Fr. James is professor of philosophy at the Dominican House of Studies, and one of the most brilliant, articulate, and convincing people I\\u2019ve ever met.

During this conversation, we dig into the philosophical soil in which atheism grows \\u2014 particularly the materialist, mechanicist, nominalist, skeptic, and relativist worldviews so prevalent in our culture. We\\u2019ll tackle the BIG issues, like:

\\u2022 Why saying there is a God or there is no God represent two radically different worldviews

\\u2022 How atheism is, historically, a minority position, and what\\u2019s happened to change this minority position in modern times

\\u2022 Why true science is actually neutral about the question of God\\u2019s existence

\\u2022 Why it feels like you\\u2019re rejecting science when you reject materialism (HINT: You\\u2019re not!)

\\u2022 The five negative positions that constitute \\u201cbig tent\\u201d Platonism, and why this list is invaluable in discussions with atheists...

If you enjoy BIG conversations, then grab your notepad and pen because you\\u2019re really going to enjoy this episode!
