Orange Coast College
14th: Guest lecturer in Professor Monge's philosophy course
At Orange Coast College May 14th, 2025.
The student pictured in the top photo above was very interested in my arguments and stayed after class to ask me several questions about them which he had written on a list. To read more about his and another student's (the one in the bottom picture above) interaction with me, as well as the atheist philosophy professor's response to my lecture, see this newsletter:

Saddleback College
30th: Guest lecturer in Professor Monge's philosophy course
At Saddleback College September 30th, 2025.
The top photo above shows a student in the front row named Carson (his hair is blocking your view of my shoes) who Professor Monge addressed immediately after class saying:
​
"You're an atheist, right?" to which Carson responded
"I was. But he convinced me [that God exists]".
​
The other three photos are of my after-class dialogue with a student named Kaylie who was very eager to interact with me on the role—or lack thereof—of science in stage two of my overall argument. For more on this event, see this newsletter:

Penn State University
22nd: Part 1 of the Open-to-the-whole-campus event​
At Penn State U. October 22nd, 2025.
In the top photo above I'm just getting started teaching the first stage of my overall argument for God's existence to a very lively and engaging group of students on the first night of my two-night event at Penn State. At several points in the evening, there were spontaneous, organic interactions between me and the entire group, especially when I deduced certain conclusions that blew their minds causing a collective "mmm" sound from the group. I gave students the opportunity to come on stage to interact with me (the two smaller photos above) after the first stage and then again after the second stage, and there were many students after each stage who came to dialogue with me. The result was that we went for two hours and forty-five minutes and finally ended at 11:15 p.m. For more on this event, see this newsletter:

23rd: Part 2 of the Open-to-the-whole-campus event
At Penn State U. October 23rd, 2025.
The second night at Penn State we also had a good crowd of students, as you can see in both the top and bottom photos above, although neither of them capture many students who were off to the right in the back and some who were on the left. In both of the smaller photos above, you can see multiple students lined up to ask me questions about the very engaging teaching session I had with them on the modal version of a particular argument for God's existence. It was a session in which I had the audience intentionally, as a group, audibly answering questions that I was setting them up to answer as I taught them the basics of modal logic which they needed to understand to understand the argument. It was a very fun pedagogical method and most of them did indeed learn what they need to to feel the force of the argument. For more on this event, see this newsletter:
