I listed to this a while back and it was great to hear it again today! Something you said stuck with me because it was the perfect way to express a thought process I’d been trying to formulate since I started paying attention to skeptical thinkers a few years ago, namely that it isn’t rational to demand physical proof of a non-physical reality, I don’t think Art was getting your point about that on this show anyway. It’s exactly the right way to express the idea though, and kinds of shows that the demand for physical proof of God is silly. Or more accurately, I guess, circular.

Good show and I really liked how you demonstrated science and a belief in God are not mutually exclusive. I think Art tried a couple times to try and put forth the idea that your views are skewed by “religion” and not facts which you defended extremely well.

Thanks; glad you enjoyed it!
