The Pseudo Scientists – Test of Faith Panel
On the 16th of April, I took part in a panel discussion with two fellow atheists and three Christian scientists on the topic of the compatibility of science and religious belief, entitled “Test of Faith”, as a part of the Reason for Faith Festival in Melbourne. Well, finally, I’ve been able to release the audio of the event as an episode of The Pseudo Scientists podcast. It’s been lightly edited for coherency and microphone levels, but it’s otherwise untouched – apart from the brief intro and outro segments I recorded with fellow podcaster Belinda Nicholson, in which I clarify a few points made in the discussion.
Enjoy!

Anyone who wants to blow ID and two thousand years of theological exegesis right out of the water, and realign religious thought to be in accord with our Enlightenment understanding of reality can now do so with a TEST of faith!
For what science and religion, not to mention the rest of us, thought impossible has now happened. History has its first literal, testable and fully demonstrable proof for faith.
The first wholly new interpretation for two thousand years of the moral teachings of Christ is published on the web. Radically different from anything else we know of from history, this new teaching is predicated upon a precise, predefined and predictable experience and called ‘the first Resurrection’ in the sense that the Resurrection of Jesus was intended to demonstrate Gods’ willingness to real Himself and intervene directly into the natural world for those obedient to His will, paving the way for access, by faith, to the power of divine transcendence and ultimate proof!
Thus ‘faith’ becomes an act of trust in action, a test of faith necessary to search and discover this direct individual intervention into the natural world by omnipotent power that confirms divine will, law, command and covenant, which at the same time, realigns our moral compass with the Divine, “correcting human nature by a change in natural law, altering biology, consciousness and human ethical perception beyond all natural evolutionary boundaries.” So like it or no, a new religious teaching, testable by faith, meeting all Enlightenment criteria of evidence based causation and definitive proof now exists. Nothing short of an intellectual, moral and religious revolution is getting under way. To test or not to test, that is the question? More info at http://www.energon.org.uk,
