The Question of God Podcast, Episode 7: Paradoxes and Contradictions: Which is Which?

What do the concepts of paradoxes and contradictions mean? What is the difference? This relates to the question of God. Astrid is giving a summarised version of the five arguments for God given by the famous medieval philosopher Thomas Aquinas, which almost gives Thomas a brain-meltdown. Almost. By the way, Astrid thinks Dawkins is making a category-mistake by comparing polytheistic gods with the Creator God of monotheism. Hiromi discovers the true meaning of worship. She also wants to know if the concept of the Trinity is a paradox or a contradiction. Thomas thinks it's a contradiction, but Douglas and Astrid disagree.
