In this half-hour, ThoughtCast talks with two very different men, with one thing in common — a belief in humanism. Harvey Cox, the renowned Harvard Divinity School Professor and author of The Secular City and When Jesus Came to Harvard, talks with ThoughtCast about his faith, and the religious resurgence taking place here in America and abroad. Cox has a unique take on Christianity — while he doubts the Resurrection, he celebrates the life of Jesus, and urges us all to follow in his footsteps, and take his teachings to the streets, to enact them in our flawed, real, and secular world.
Simon Blackburn on the other hand rejects religion but embraces the wisdom of philosophy. He too is an author — of Truth: A Guide, Think and Being Good, among others — and he teaches philosophy at the University of Cambridge, in England. What he offers is a philosophy that’s not just for the educated elite, but for the rest of us!

First postulate.
Matter, time, space and everything else, visible and invisible, is zero.
Second postulate.
God inexplicably mentally creates universes like an idea.
Most of them leave no trace, like nothing or Spirit. A certain amount turns into a subtle world or ether. But only a few of them can transform into Universes, like the most complex absolute zero.
Third postulate.
God creates universes on a whim out of nothing. He can do from without space, from without time, and even without energy, and even in a completely different way. It strings, Universes like prominences explode from the Sun. Ether more. And the Spirit is infinite.
