Prophesies and Predictions

Remember Y2K? Me neither. In this episode we talk (and talk and talk) about failed prophesies and other charlatanry.

Here are links mentioned in the podcast, as promised:

“Forged” by Bart D. Ehrman

Postscript: I was WRONG about the lifecycle of our Sun. I was somewhat correct in stating that it’s halfway through its life, but in fact it is approximately 5 BILLION years old, and in another 5 billion years, it’s going to transition into a red giant.

Mythology and lots of other stuffs

 Hey kids! In this episode Pete & Melissa talk about Mythology, its purpose in our lives, and then we go off on 1,235,366 tangents. It’s a bit…rambley – but fun and worth it! Stick around to the end. It’s a surprise ending with a twist you would never expect.

The Search for...Spock?

Not sure why that’s the title of this episode, it just is. And you’ll like it!

In this episode, we laugh at homeopathy – and why is Dr. Oz shelling out advice on homeopathic remedies? There is hope, however. In response to the backlash, Doc Oz had Dr. Steven Novella, a clinical neurologist and noted skeptic, on his show. You can find the excerpt of this episode along with Dr. Novella’s thoughts here. We also mention our favorite skeptic, James Randi. Love him!

We talked briefly about an incident with Bill Nye giving a talk in Texas where he was heckled. Please note, this event happened in 2006 and is still being talked about today! It’s difficult to find the original news article about it, but here’s a link that sums up the story.

A New Crazy

We haven’t forgotten you! In this episode we discuss the Sam Harris vs. William Lane Craig debate at the University of Notre Dame. You can find the video (in 9 parts) here. Unfortunately, the audio version I mentioned during the podcast is no longer available. Also interesting is an account of the debate by Sam Harris himself.
