“God has not created us for the perishable and transitory things of earth, but for things heavenly and everlasting.” Join us for a provocative and faith-filled conversation on artificial intelligence, truth, and the Catholic worldview. In this episode, Rigel and Travis explore an extraordinary ChatGPT transcript in which an MIT student leads the AI model to a bold conclusion: that Catholic Christianity is the most rational, historical, and logically coherent worldview.

Our discussion explores:

- How ChatGPT responds to theological and philosophical questions when rigorously prompted

- The danger of relativism and the cultural bias embedded in most modern discourse

- Why miracles—if even one is true—are sufficient to validate the supernatural claims of the Church

- What the Church teaches about miracles and how they’re rigorously tested (including examples like Lourdes)

- The difference between scientism and true scientific reasoning—and why science alone can’t explain the fullness of human experience

- How prompts and custom instructions shape AI output—and what that tells us about modern epistemology

- Simulation theory, Elon Musk’s worldview, and how scientism circles back to belief in a “creator” of a different kind

- A call for intellectual humility and a rational path toward faith in Christ and the Church He founded

Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, or simply curious about how AI intersects with metaphysical questions, this episode will challenge you to consider not just what is true—but how we come to know it. Rigel and Travis emphasize that while AI can offer clarity, it must never become a substitute for truth itself. Instead, it can serve as a powerful tool—when wielded carefully—to highlight the profound coherence of the Catholic faith.
