S2E7 The One with the Pla
Manage episode 360218834 series 3409593
In this week's episode, Phil and Susie talk about the concept of “magical thinking” and how it is used by believers to explain things that they just don’t understand or to explain away things that they can’t logically defend. The common explanation for explaining the unexplainable for the believer is the “providence” or “sovereignty” of God, meaning God’s overarching plan for the universe and by extrapolation, one’s entire life. Phil and Susie ask, "Does God really have a plan? Is it a good one? What happens when people question the plan and what happens when we discover that there isn’t one?"
