<p>Atheist John Loftus has challenged Christians with the 'Outsider Test of Faith'. He believes that if Christians examined their own faith with the same level of scepticism they do other faiths, they would reject it.</p> <p>Christian guest David Marshall is the author of 'How Jesus Passes the Outsider Test'. A resident of China, he debates Loftus, examining why, among other factors, the global success of Christianity means that it passes the Test.</p> <p>For David Marshall: <a href='http://christthetao.blogspot.com/?m=1'>http://christthetao.blogspot.com</a></p> <p>For John Loftus: <a href='http://debunkingchristianity.blogspot.com/'> http://debunkingchristianity.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>For more faith debates visit <a href='http://www.premierchristianradio.com/www.premierchristianradio.com/unbelievable'>www.premierchristianradio.com/unbelievable</a></p> <p>Join the conversation: <a href='http://www.facebook.com/unbelievablejb'>Facebook</a> and <a href='http://www.twitter.com/unbelievablejb'>Twitter</a></p> <p>Get the MP3 podcast of Unbelievable? <a href='http://www.kaltura.com/api_v3/getFeed.php?partnerId=618072&feedId=1_jlj47tkv'>http://www.kaltura.com/api_v3/getFeed.php?partnerId=618072&feedId=1_jlj47tkv</a> or Via <a href='http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=267142101'>Itunes</a></p>

<p>The term 'Humanism' is often seen as synonymous with atheism.

<p>Blaise Pascal was a 17th century Christian philosopher and mathematician who said that we all bet our life on the existence of God. So, you are better off believing in God because you've everything to gain if it's true and little to lose if it's not. But you've plenty to lose if you bet on God not existing and it turns out that He does.</p> <p>Kevin Moore is a young philosopher whose new book 'Untrumpable' revisits Pascal's classic argument in terms of 'wisdom'. He makes the case that Atheism is a foolish bet and we ought to live as if God existed. He even says his argument makes the best sense of Psalm 14 (The fool has said in his heart "there is no God").</p> <p>Norman Bacrac, of the Conway Hall Ethical Society disagrees with Kevin and says that believing in God wouldn't make him change the way he lives as an atheist anyway.</p> <p>MP3 of this show <a href='http://media.premier.org.uk/unbelievable/9217e6a8-528c-4877-8c7d-ca22d83ec6c3.mp3'>http://media.premier.org.uk/unbelievable/9217e6a8-528c-4877-8c7d-ca22d83ec6c3.mp3</a></p> <p>For 'Untrumpable' by Kevin Moore <a href='http://www.untrumpable.com/'>http://www.untrumpable.com</a></p> <p>For more faith debates visit <a href='http://www.premierchristianradio.com/unbelievable'>www.premierchristianradio.com/unbelievable</a></p> <p>Join the conversation: <a href='http://www.facebook.com/unbelievablejb'>Facebook</a> and <a href='http://www.twitter.com/unbelievablejb'>Twitter</a></p> <p>Get the MP3 podcast of Unbelievable? <a href='http://ondemand.premier.org.uk/unbelievable/AudioFeed.aspx'>http://ondemand.premier.org.uk/unbelievable/AudioFeed.aspx</a> or Via <a href='http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=267142101'>Itunes</a></p>

<p>Graham Ward is Oxford Regius professor of Divinity. His new book 'Unbelievable' explores the biology and psychology of belief. Atheist professor of psychology Susan Blackmore joins the discussion in the first part of the show. Is belief a purely material phenomenon of the brain?
