I wanted to expand on the last podcast this week and ask the question, "Could materialistic evolution use religion as a beneficial component if it is true?" I mentioned this in one paragraph last week but I felt it needed elaboration. My point is not that religions are a beneficial result of materialism, but could it be argued that religion could be used as such if it were true? If so, then what does this say about materialists that argue religion is an ancient construct that the detrimental to humanity? In contrast, could it be argued that religion is a viable ingredient for materialism? If so, could this actually mean those incapable of accepting the idea of God and objective morality as actually evolutionary inferior and an impediment to humanity?Share your thoughts on this brainstorm and subscribe to our podcast at https://mindlob.com.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mindlob)
A quick update on COVID and then I dive into some writings I started years ago. These writings were the underpinning of Mindlob.com. Below is a transcript from the book in part...Consider two simple terms: “good” and “evil”. When you think of good, you probably think of helping an old lady across the street, solving world hunger, or saving someone from personal harm or abuse. While when thinking of evil, we think of running down the old lady with a car, starving people, or causing emotional harm or abuse. Pretty easy, right? Only a madman couldn’t discern concepts like hate, love, compassion, rape, altruism, lie, and truth. What’s great is that we all intuitively agree that good and evil are relatively universal concepts for humanity.Consider atheist-based campaigns that rightfully advertise the paraphrased message, “you don’t need God to be good”. I love these campaigns because they let us know that all worldviews intuitively understand that “good” is universally acknowledged and understood regardless of your theistic or atheistic persuasion.Some atheists would agree that good and evil are constructs created as a by-product of human evolution. Somehow these “goods” and “bads” were classified to give humanity a better chance of survival. Ultimately, however, the only difference between something being labeled as good or bad is based upon our primitive ancestors assigning arbitrary concepts to either the “bad” or “good” category. And if primitives looking to survive guided these ancient views of good and evil over generations are those categorizations still relevant today? Sure thousands of years ago, murder would be a problem. With the materialistic view, having groups of mammals living together would have given an enormous strategic advantage for survival, but with humankind now being the apex predator and passing seven billion, is it still logical to sanctify each life? Could it be argued that a mass genocide of the weak and inferior is best for the survival of humanity as a whole?Consider Darwin’s thoughts in “The Descent of Man”:“With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the last moment. There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved thousands, who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to smallpox. Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly anyone is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed. The aid we feel impelled to give to the helpless is mainly an incidental result of the instinct of sympathy, which ....Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mindlob)

In this episode, we discuss Rush and jump back into Genesis. Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mindlob)
In this episode, we get back to Genesis and explore the term "Kind" in Genesis. What does Genesis mean by "kind". Is this term anti-reason or an argument to fortify against biological evolution? Perhaps Socrates said it best?
Getting back to Genesis is a bit of a challenge. It seems that current events keep pulling me away and this week is no different.
There seem to be many questions about the election raised by people that appear to have no motive. Are they disillusioned? And what about the accusations possibly levied at technology companies.

After several weeks of prayer, I feel it's time to talk about the United States. We delve into Rome and the election in this thought experiment.For the first time in my life, I wonder what will happen through the simple act of asking a question. Is Big Tech the new thought police, are we destined to fall like Rome, and are our elected officials truly elected or is this just some type of shell game that President Trump exposed?This podcast is dedicated to asking questions and provoking thought. I wonder what happens to each of us if individualism is no longer allowed?
In this episode, we explore the firmament of Genesis and the flat earth along with questions about censorship and the ability to ask questions in a free society.
One of the perplexing issues of Genesis is the concept of light and the beginning of our biosphere without the sun. Is this possible without making excuses while being honest with the text of Genesis?
Getting a grounded Genesis perspective can be challenging. In this episode, we delve into aliens and the occult in a thought experiment. We take a brief look at Crowley, Parsons, Greer Bette & Barney Hill, and more.When learning that Genesis has several interpretations that are upheld by dependable Christian thinkers whose motive is not to compromise with materialism, it can lead to a person pursuing a confirmation bias or, worse, wondering if there is any solid ground in Genesis. This mindset can lead to allegorical interpretations and other compromises that are not tenable within the scriptures.This thought experiment considers potential links between Crowley, the phenomena of alien grays, and how they are perceived by some people today as benign beings with altruistic intentions.
In this episode, we start to tackle one of the biggest points of contention in scripture. The word is "day". What exactly does the term "day" mean? Is the scripture a literal 24-hour creation day book or is there room for more? We also take a look at the Simulation Hypothesis and revisit materialism within the framework of this topic.

America's fabric is tearing: Not from the diversity of ideas, but rather from the suppression of thought. So who is causing the chasm in the American culture? Does it begin with Conservatives, liberals, religion, or perhaps it's something more fundamental.
Is the presence of evil evidence that a good God doesn't exist? This question is asked by both well-meaning seekers and those with less-than-honorable motives. In this week's episode, we explore the actual question of evil's existence. There is an assumption of an objective definition of evil, but is this a reasonable assumption within the worldview of atheism? If not, how does the atheist reconcile the definition of evil so that it remains coherent within a materialistic mindset?If you find this podcast valuable, please share.
