Premier Unbelievable?

Unbelievable? offers a weekly podcast, blog, and video series hosted by Ruth Jackson and a team of thinkers and Christian apologists.

Unbelievable?

If God is all-powerful and all-loving, why does so much evil exist?
In this edition of Unbelievable?, Christian philosopher Dr. Joshua Sijuwade debates atheist philosopher Dr. Stephen Law on whether the reality of suffering undermines belief in God - or whether there are good reasons a loving God might allow it.
From moral evil and natural disasters to the evil God challenge and the limits of human understanding, the discussion dives deep into one of philosophy’s most enduring and emotionally charged questions.

Why does a 'Good God' allow Suffering and Evil? Dr Joshua Sijuwade vs Dr Stephen Law

What does it really mean to think, create, or feel? Are we losing our humanity in the age of AI - or discovering it anew? In this live schools debate with Aylesbury Youth For Christ, Premier Unbelievable? host Andy Kind is joined by Dr Amna Whiston (Oxford) and Dr Alex Carter (Cambridge) to explore the limits of artificial intelligence. Together they ask: Can machines ever truly be creative? Can they experience emotion - or are they just mirroring us back to ourselves?
Expect a lively, thoughtful and sometimes humorous conversation on philosophy of mind, the uncanny valley, whether AI can be conscious, and what separates humans from code. Along the way, they touch on Jackson Pollock, emotional reasoning, giddiness, and even Gattaca vs Skynet - a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of humanity in a technological world.

Can AI Create or Feel? Dr Amna Whiston & Dr Alex Carter debate Human vs Artificial Intelligence

Humanism vs Christianity: Who Really Shaped the Modern World? In this gripping episode of The Big Conversation for Unbelievable? Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker and bestselling author debates Christian thinker Nick Spencer on whether the Enlightenment values of science, reason, and humanism have made religious belief redundant. Pinker defends the legacy of secular progress, arguing that human flourishing owes more to data and rationalism than divine revelation. Spencer acknowledges the progress but challenges Pinker’s foundations—arguing that modern values like equality and human dignity have deep Christian roots. From the abolition of slavery to the origins of science, this is a searching conversation about what truly underpins human progress.

In this explosive end-of-term schools debate, Unbelievable? host Andy Kind moderates a gripping clash between Christian evangelist and CEO of Speak Life, Glen Scrivener and John Richards, President of Atheism UK. Recorded live at St Michael's School in Aylesbury (thanks to Aylesbury Youth For Christ), the debate asks: Does Christianity provide the moral foundation of the West? Glen argues that Western values—such as equality and compassion—are shaped by 2,000 years of Christian influence. John counters that morality evolved naturally and religion often fuels division. From ancient Rome to Richard Dawkins, from the Good Samaritan to scientific discovery, this is a passionate exchange that pulls no punches.

Did Christianity Build the West? Glen Scrivener vs Atheism UK President John Richards

Can Jesus be meaningfully compared to other spiritual figures like Krishna? In this classic episode, Christian philosopher Ken Samples and Hindu representative Dipen Rajyaguru join Justin Brierley to explore Hinduism, the person of Krishna, and whether all religions ultimately lead to the same God. Drawing from his book God Among Sages, Ken believe that Jesus is unique among all spiritual leaders and is superior to Krishna in terms of his historical and moral record and his offer of salvation. Ken argues for the uniqueness of Jesus as God incarnate, while Dipen explains Hindu perspectives on avatars, karma, and Krishna as a divine figure. The conversation navigates areas of agreement—such as mutual respect and moral insights—as well as deep differences on sin, salvation, and the exclusivity of truth claims.

Does humanism or Christianity offer the world a better future? Mike Jones "Inspiring Philosophy" vs Stephen Law

Jesus in Christianity and Islam: Can We Bridge the Divide?
Mustafa Akyol, author of The Islamic Jesus, and Richard Shumack, author of Jesus Through Muslim Eyes discuss what do Muslims and Christians really believe about Jesus—and can their views be reconciled? Mustafa argues that the Jesus of Islam reflects a lost strand of early Jewish Christianity—one that did not view Jesus as divine but as a prophet and messiah. Richard responds with a robust Christian defence, noting early worship of Jesus and questioning whether Jewish-Christian sects like the Ebionites represented the faith's true origins. Together, they explore profound theological differences, shared reverence for Jesus, and the possibility of mutual understanding without erasing essential convictions. Can honest disagreement lead to deeper friendship between faiths?

Is Christianity in England dead - or just sleeping?
Historian Bijan Omrani, author of God is an Englishman, and acclaimed writer and former environmental activist Paul Kingsnorth, who converted to Christianity after exploring Wicca and Zen, join host Andy Kind for a powerful conversation about spiritual hunger in post-Christian Britain.
From the collapse of church attendance to a resurgence in young people seeking truth, this episode explores what we lose when a civilisation forgets its sacred roots - and whether something is stirring in the dry bones of English Christianity.
We also draw on ideas from Tom Holland, Steven Bartlett, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali to ask: What did Christianity give us - and can anything replace it?
This is Premier Unbelievable? at its richest: provocative, hopeful, and deeply human.
