I start out talking about animals and religion (yet again), but move on to discuss some old debates between prominent atheists such as Daniel Dennett and Richard Dawkins and Christian speakers such as Dinesh Desouza and John Lennox. I finish by discussing a couple of recent news stories. As always, thanks for listening!

Hi Everyone, As promised here is episode 4 part two: "The Week in Doubt: Shroud of Turin Spectacular!" Given the somewhat irreverent title of this week's episode, you may be surprised by my fondness for the shroud. I discuss not only the history and scientific testing of the Turin Shroud, but also my own experiences growing up as a Catholic child allured by the relic's enduring mystique. As always thanks for listening...

Hi everyone. I didn't realize how atrocious the audio on the first two episodes was until I listened through headphones. There was a stereo effect on the vocals. I went back in and changed the settings to mono. First up is the Inaugural Episode; for those who missed it the first time, I discuss my beliefs (or lack thereof) and cover some topical issues. Thanks for listening!
