In this eighth episode, we consider the universe itself, and what we can and can't know about it with certainty, and how our limited knowledge shapes both our faith and our reason. Within our limited scope, the only way we can possibly understand our purpose for existence is if Someone that is NOT limited reveals it to us. This episode, and the episode to follow, are laying the groundwork for our discussion of the second clause of the Creed, dealing with the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, our Lord Jesus Christ. Length: 10 minutes, 1 second.

In this seventh episode, we take a whirlwind trip through ancient Greek mythology to define the two basic poles of human religious thought – either the universe itself is infinite and eternal, and all the gods and men that inhabit it are lesser beings within that infinite universe, or it is created by a God Who is Himself infinite and eternal. Guess which side the Christian Faith falls on!. Length: 9 minutes, 25 seconds.
