It's a time honored trope in movies: one brain, soul, consciousness…whatever you want to call it, either gets placed in a brand new body or gets swapped with someone else's. Sure, it's been done a bunch, but some would argue that it has never been done better than in the 2003 remake of Freaky Friday starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. It's such a simple premise, where a daughter and mother suddenly wake up in each other's bodies, but it's done to particularly hilarious and iconic effect in this version.Now, the inherently “magical” element of two consciousnesses switching places is one thing, and one that's difficult to quantify from a scientific standpoint. But before we can even think about the “swapping” issue, we have to answer the question of what is the nature of consciousness at all. In other words, this is a much heavier episode than we expected it to be when we first set out to make it. Thankfully, we have Dr. Hakeem Oluseyi and Tamara Krinsky to guide you through it all.Check out the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here for more!https://youtu.be/ozzzTDqFIfAFURTHER VIEWINGOK, so obviously, you probably want to have seen the 2003 version of Freaky Friday with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan before watching this episode. Although don't dismiss Disney's 1976 original version of the film that starred no less than future big screen legend Jodie Foster and all-time small screen legend John Astin! Just note that we hadn't seen the newest movie, Freakier Friday, at the time we recorded this episode. But there are a couple of other key body swap movies that Tamara mentions in the episode. One is Penny Marshall's 1988 classic Big, starring Tom Hanks. That's a classic of its decade, and you've probably already seen that one. If you haven't seen Big, well, the only possible explanation we can think of is that you probably weren't a kid in the ‘80s or ‘90s. Just note that this isn't two consciousnesses switching place but rather a kid waking up in his own suddenly adult body.But 1984's All of Me, starring Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin, and directed by Carl Reiner is something of an underrated comedy gem in general…not just for the body-swap genre! And if we can make one more kind of offbeat recommendation: Justice League Unlimited season 3, episode 8 “The Great Brain Robbery” has Flash and Lex Luthor switching consciousnesses, to hilarious results!Don't worry, you still only really need to have seen Freaky Friday to get what we're talking about today, but our questions about the nature of consciousness apply just as much to these other classics! FURTHER READINGDo you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! What Is Consciousness?Hakeem starts off the episode by asking a question that made our heads spin ever so slightly: what is consciousness? Well, to explain that, you can look at it from a scientific and biological/neurological perspective or you can take a more philosophical approach. Somewhere between the two you will find true consciousness. Oh no, now we're talking like the kinds of people who ask deep philosophical questions, too! Sorry for the long readings in those links but there are no easy answers to…oh no, we're doing it again!Theory of Mind“Theory of Mind” sounds more intimidating than it is, and to make up for the extra long readings above, we found one with helpful illustrations for you this time! Hey, it's still from Stanford.Foreplanning and Animal ConsciousnessSure, humans can think of scenarios that haven't happened yet (or, if you're anxious, that may never happen) but if we may quote Hakeem: “We are not the only conscious entities on this planet.” To that end, here's some animal kingdom proof for you! If you want to read that paper he cites about the chimpanzee tricking its food rivals, it's here. Or this creepy bird doing creepy human baby imitations to trick us into giving it food.The Biology of Consciousness?It's as simple as this: when you are anesthetized, certain portions of the brain are inactive, but when you wake up, they activate. Here is a more complicated explanation. BUT remember, correlation does not necessarily equal causation!The Big PictureDon't you love it when Tamara surprises Hakeem during the science section? She recommends The Big Picture by Sean Carroll as a wonderful way to look at some of the questions of consciousness.The History of Freaky FridayFor some more context on how this movie came together, we've got just the thing.“You Are Not the Voice in Your Head”Check out The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael A. Singer for a deeper exploration of this concept.WE ARE RUNNING A CONTEST! WIN SOME COOL PRIZES!Does It Fly?

Impure Water in Islam: Rulings and PurificationUnderstanding Water Purity According to Quran and SunnahAssalamu Alaikum.I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. In this short blog, we will discuss the rulings of impure water in Islam—what makes water impure, and how to purify it—based on the Qur'an and Sunnah.Alhamdulillah, in Islamic jurisprudence, water purity is a vital subject. Water is essential not only for physical cleanliness but for acts of worship like wudu (ablution) and ghusl (ritual bath). In this blog post, we explore the rulings related to impure water, based on Quran and Hadith, as explained by scholars.1. Why Study Impure Water?We must understand impure water because:It cannot be used to remove ritual impurity (minor or major).It cannot purify filth (najasah).It becomes contagious, making whatever it touches impure.It cannot be used for drinking or cooking.2. What Makes Water Impure?Water becomes impure (najis) if it comes in contact with a physical impurity and any of its three characteristics—color, smell, or taste—change as a result.The Prophet ﷺ said:“Water is pure and nothing makes it impure.” — Sunan Abu Dawood 66 (authentic)https://sunnah.com/abudawud:66For example:If urine, feces, blood, or a dead animal contaminates the water and changes its color, smell, or taste, the water is impure.But if a pure substance like saffron changes the water, the water remains pure.3. How to Purify Impure Water?a) Add More Pure WaterIf enough pure water is added to impure water so that the change in color, taste, or smell disappears, the water becomes pure again.Example from Hadith:A Bedouin urinated in the masjid, and the Prophet ﷺ said:“Pour a bucket of water over it.” — Sahih al-Bukhari 220https://sunnah.com/bukhari:220This teaches us that impurity can be removed by overwhelming it with pure water.b) Wait for Natural PurificationOver time, impurities may disappear naturally due to environmental factors (evaporation, sunlight, etc.). If no impurity remains, the water is pure.c) Filtration and Treatment (Modern Methods)Today, technology like desalination and chemical treatment can remove impurities from sewer water, making it safe and pure again, provided the three characteristics return to normal.4. How to Judge If Water Is Impure?The scholars agree:If any one of the three characteristics is changed by impurity, the water is impure.If none of them change, even if a drop of impurity falls in, the water remains pure—especially when the water body is large like a swimming pool.Allah says:“And We made from water every living thing.” — Surah Al-Anbiya 21:30This verse reminds us of the value and necessity of clean, usable water.5. Practical TipIn dire situations (war, drought, etc.), if you only have slightly suspected water, check for the three characteristics. If there's no visible impurity, the default rule in Islam is that the water is pure.Conclusion:Islamic rulings on water purity are merciful and practical. By observing the three signs (smell, taste, color), and using purification methods, we ensure our worship is valid and our hygiene preserved.May Allah increase us in knowledge. Ameen.
Seerah 01-03: The Early Life and Divine Protection of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ | Insights from Shaykh Assim Al-Hakeem | Zad Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiAssalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh.I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. In this blog post, we explore the early life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, focusing on divine signs, his noble character, and Allah's protection—long before he received revelation.1. Childhood and Allah's ProtectionAt age four, the Prophet ﷺ experienced the miraculous event of chest-splitting by Angel Jibreel (Gabriel), where his heart was purified with Zamzam water. This event purified him from Shaytaan's influence and occurred again before the Night Journey (Isra wa al-Mi'raj).Soon after, his mother Aaminah passed away during a trip to Yathrib (Madinah), leaving the Prophet ﷺ orphaned at age six. His grandfather Abdul Muttalib took custody and showed deep affection for him. Upon Abdul Muttalib's death two years later, the Prophet ﷺ was cared for by his uncle Abu Talib, despite the latter's poverty.2. Character Before ProphethoodThough surrounded by idol worship and immorality in Meccan society, Allah protected the Prophet ﷺ. He never touched idols, never drank alcohol, and never attended gatherings of immorality. Once, when he tried to attend a musical gathering, he fell asleep—divinely protected from such behavior.“Indeed, you are of a great moral character.” — Surah Al-Qalam 68:4 (quran.com/68/4)3. Hilf al-Fudul – Pact of JusticeThe Prophet ﷺ participated in a noble alliance known as Hilf al-Fudul, which was formed to uphold justice and protect the oppressed in Makkah. He later said:“I witnessed a pact of justice in the house of ‘Abdullah ibn Jud'an that was more beloved to me than red camels. If I were invited to something like it in Islam, I would accept.” — [Musnad Ahmad 1655] (authenticated by Al-Albani)This shows Islam encourages cooperation in justice, even with non-Muslims, as long as it does not contradict Shari'ah.4. The Value of Guiding Others to IslamDuring the Battle of Khaybar, the Prophet ﷺ emphasized that guiding someone to Islam is more valuable than wealth:“By Allah, if a single person is guided through you, it is better for you than red camels.” — Sahih al-Bukhari 2942https://sunnah.com/bukhari:2942This was said to Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA), showing how da'wah holds immense reward.5. Early Exposure to Trade and Global InteractionsThe Prophet ﷺ traveled with Abu Talib on a trade journey to Syria in his youth. Although some stories (like the monk Bahira) are unauthenticated, the Prophet's exposure to international trade laid a foundation for his later dealings and trustworthiness.Important Takeaways:Allah protected Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from birth.His early life reflects honesty, purity, and service.Islam supports justice and alliances that promote it.Guiding others to Islam is greater than worldly wealth.May Allah allow us to embody these lessons and spread truth with wisdom. — Zayd Haji, Zad Academy

Despite Emma's absence, it's hump day Wednesday and there's a lot to talk about. Inflation is slowly starting to rise to its highest number since February. The effects of these tariffs will be rearing their head eventually. Award winning Israeli journalist, Meron Rapaport joins us for a discussion on Gaza and the West bank and Israel's attempt to alienate and expel Arab Knesset members. Hakeem Jeffries is still refusing to endorse Zohran Mandani even though he won Hakeem's district decisively. In the Fun Half we open with a real time twitter feud between Matt and a journalist from The Free Beacon or something. Matt cooks him. Trump turns on his own base over the Epstein files. This story is not going anywhere anytime soon. Meanwhile, despite all of the tragic SCOTUS rulings, the horrible budget bill, the mass firings of federal employees, the dismantling of the Department of Education, according to CNN the Democrats are in a worse position for the midterms than at this same point in 2017 or 2005.

“You've got ME? Who's got YOU?!?Lois LaneWith a new Superman movie now in theaters (James Gunn's aptly titled Superman) it's time to take a look at one of the biggest conundrums in all of popular culture. Just where do Superman's powers come from? While there have been conflicting explanations for this given by comics, TV shows, animated series, and movies through the decades, one point has taken hold pretty solidly for most of the character's eight-plus decades: many of Superman's powers come from the fact that he comes from a race of aliens who developed under a red sun, which means our more intensely radiant yellow sun charges up his cells and gives him his amazing abilities.The nature of Superman's powers had been addressed in different ways in the comics over the years (at one point, ALL Kryptonians were simply born with super powers, before explanations like Earth's lighter gravity, our yellow sun, and others were added to the mythos). But the first media adaptation that really tried to address the source of his powers came with Richard Donner's masterful Superman: The Movie (1978). In that film, no less than Marlon Brando as Jor-El patiently explains to the audience the ways a Kryptonian would adapt to Earth's environment and the powers one might get.Look, there's only so much realism we can expect with a character like Superman, who is more of an ideal to strive for than a hard science fiction character. But we dive into the science and the story, and also discuss the timeless vibes that make that first proper Superman movie such an enduring classic in this episode.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9jeGwHn57EFURTHER VIEWINGMuch of this episode's discussion was based around two of the best superhero movies ever made, Superman (1978) and Superman II (1980). While Christopher Reeve might be the most perfect piece of superhero casting ever, the other two movies in that franchise are uneven at best. But there's other Superman media that address the source of the Man of Steel's powers!While divisive, Zack Snyder's Man of Steel made a valiant effort to explain why Superman can do the things he does (including the yellow sun). And James Gunn's currently in theaters Superman (2025) leans heavily on the solar power angle. It's also just an absolute blast and the best superhero movie in years.FURTHER READINGKrypton and Its SunThere are two main ingredients in Superman's home planet that are said to contribute to his powers on Earth. One is that Krypton itself is habitable (and potentially with heavier gravity), and in order for that to be the case, it has to exist in the habitable zone of the star it orbits. Proxima Centauri B is one such world that has captured scientists' attention.The one more relevant to today's discussion is that Superman was born under a red sun, which makes Earth's yellow sun supercharge his cells. In Krypton's case, that's a dying star known as a red giant. Which brings us to…A quick guide to the different colors of stars. Although, as Hakeem points out, Earth's sun isn't yellow, but green! Eventually, it will turn red, but that's a problem none of us will be around to see.KryptochondriaWe all remember photosynthesis from elementary school, right? But in order for human (or animal in the case of Krypto the Superdog) cells to be charged up with solar radiation to the degree necessary for superheroics, cellular organelles and ribosomes would have to function differently. Also the amount of the neurotransmitter known as adenosine triphosphate (creatine devotees know all about ATP) it would take to generate the energy for super-feats is prohibitive.We confess that following Hakeem on the matter of the absorption spectrum is a little challenging, but don't just take our word for it! Failed Flying Techniques and More!Tamara gives us a red giant batch of story analysis and background info in this one, but because seeing is believing, some stuff is better watched than read. For more context on Superman: The Movie and the incredible effort it took to make you believe a man could fly, check out The Magic Behind the Cape (where we get the “best special effect of all” that Tamara quotes) and Front Projection 101. Also, somewhere on a Superman: The Movie Blu-ray extra that doesn't appear to be online, there is video evidence of the “dummy shot out of an air cannon” failed flying technique Tamara brings up, but we can't link it here!

Hello, everyone! Bachelor in Paradise is BACK, and I'm here to tell you that I AM HERE FOR IT! Some Guy in Austin is still questioning the new format, but I am one hundred percent leaning into the chach factory that the new show runners have cooked up for us. In this episode, we cover love matches, love triangles, and lost love. We also discuss ways the rejected boys could have done things differently, such as having a conversation, not being a dork, and calming down. We're looking at you, Hakeem. Bless your heart, my guy. Bless your heart.

“I'm simply saying that life, uh, finds a way.”Dr. Ian Malcolm, master of understatementOh those silly humans in the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies. When will they ever learn? You'd think that maybe after the events of the first film they might take a breather on trying to mess with nature, or at least with dinosaurs specifically, but nope! But if they did, we wouldn't have all these fun movies where said humans get their just desserts as, um, dessert for all manner of resurrected dinosaurs.The quality of the assorted sequels in the Jurassic Park franchise are a mixed bag, but the original 1993 film? That one is a pretty unassailable summer movie classic, and it's the one that we're focusing on for this week's episode. Specifically, we're diving in to the question of how the dinosaurs, engineered to only be female, changed their sex to male in order to breed and thus create an entire host of new problems for the unwitting scientists. We also, as you might expect, take a look at the “your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should” of it all. Get your running shoes on (how does that old saying go? “I don't have to outrun the velociraptor, I only have to outrun you?”) for the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here…https://youtu.be/-oE2KLOj5-sWE ARE RUNNING A CONTEST!

Rex Hatchling FunkoJurassic Park Velociraptor HatchlingJurassic Park Stygimoloch Hatchling FunkoGentle Giant Saru BustSUGGESTED VIEWING We're only really discussing the first Jurassic Park movie in this episode, so that makes it easy on you. But the franchise now encompasses both movies and TV shows, and they aren't all handily numbered like some sequels are, so here's a quick guide to the order they all take place in, for those viewing order chronology obsessives out there!Jurassic Park (movie)The Lost World: Jurassic Park (movie)Jurassic Park III (movie)Jurassic World (movie)Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous (Netflix animated TV series…and a really good one, too!)Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (movie)Battle at Big Rock (short film)Jurassic World: Chaos Theory (Netflix animated TV series…also quite good!)Jurassic World Dominion (movie)Jurassic World Rebirth (movie)FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Read the books!The first movie in the franchise is based on Michael Crichton's bestselling 1983 novel of the same name. He wrote its sequel, The Lost World, at the behest of Steven Spielberg, who wanted to make another Jurassic Park movie, and Crichton decided he would like the equivalent weight of a brontosaurus in cash.Dinosaur birds?The ancient bird-like dinosaur that Hakeem is referring to is the archaeopteryx, which is kind of the link between modern birds and dinosaurs, but read more here to get a better sense of this distinction.They can do WHAT?!?For a brief list of animals (no mammals can do this on their own!) that can change their sex when needed, we direct you here. Frogs, of course, are the most relevant specifically to Jurassic Park and our discussion today, but according to Hakeem, if you wanted to be more scientifically accurate, pay more attention to the birds and reptiles on this list!Mutation as Stress ResponseSadly, humans can't do this RIGHT NOW but there's plenty of scientific precedent for it.A Brief History of the End Times (for certain creatures)Some light and fluffy reading for you, an overview of extinction level events in history!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?The new How to Train Your Dragon is currently in theaters and we took a look at the evolutionary possibilities of dragons right here.

Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons . . . nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. — Romans 8:38-39 Dana, 20, from Wisconsin, ended up on Chicago's South Side after she stopped taking her prescribed medications. She began self-medicating with street drugs and eventually found shelter with us for a while. Tragically, Dana died alone in an abandoned building from a fentanyl overdose. Each year we hold a service for people who couldn't have a proper funeral or were unclaimed at death. Members approach the microphone, sharing memories of God's goodness in the lives of the departed. I'm reminded of a Jason Isbell lyric: “Hardly even know my name anymore/ When no one calls it out, it kind of vanishes away.” So, we say the names of these people, remembering we are saved by God's grace and joined together by God's Spirit. After the names are spoken, we are reminded from Scripture that nothing in this world—neither death nor life nor anything else—can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Near the front, Tyesha cradles her son Hakeem while Layla and Brooklyn sit beside her. Brooklyn's eyes widen as I proclaim, “For you, Dana, Jesus Christ came into the world; for you, he died; for you, he conquered death. Dana, child of God, you are part of God's family.” For you, dear reader, Jesus Christ came into the world, died, and conquered death. You are part of God's family. Lord, thank you for making us part of your family, adopted in love forever in Jesus. Amen.
“I have a new primary user now…me.”The title character from M3GAN being bratty.When the first trailers for the original M3GAN arrived, nobody quite expected it to be one of the horror movie sensations of recent years. But it sure did! Or, we should say, she sure did. Because like all the best horror movie protagonists who go by their first names alone (Freddy, Jason, you get the picture), M3GAN became a pop culture force all her own.And for all the fun ridiculousness contained in that film (and, presumably, in the sequel, M3GAN 2.0 which is now in theaters), it actually raised some interesting philosophical questions. Of course, here at Does it Fly? we're interested in the actual mechanics of building and designing M3GAN herself, but we also are fascinated by the implications of using a realistic A.I. as a therapeutic device. Maybe M3GAN isn't the most nuanced subject for those conversations, but we dive into them, nonetheless.We also had some of the most fun we've had this year in our final section, putting M3GAN “on trial” for her actions, with our hosts, Dr. Hakeem Oluseyi (prosecution) and Tamara Krinsky, Esq. (ok, not really, but she's a hell of a defense attorney in this case) throw vibes out the window this week, so we'll see you in court!All this and more in the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here…https://youtu.be/nteIYlCFAUISUGGESTED VIEWING If you're reading this, you already saw M3GAN, right? Good. If not, despite its somewhat campy reputation, it really is a fun piece of sci-fi with a horror edge and it absolutely deserved to be the box office hit it was. Just note that we hadn't seen M3GAN 2.0 at the time of recording.While 2004's I, Robot isn't beloved by Asimov purists (see our “further reading” section below), it's better than its reputation suggests and comes from frequently underrated director Alex Proyas, so that's good enough for us if you want a little context for the “three laws of robotics” discussed here.Tamara also brings up Steven Spielberg's Minority Report as a film about a technology that has theoretically good intentions…until it's put into practice and immediately abused. FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Building Your M3GAN (please do not do this)There are three elements of M3GAN that are rooted in science fact but ultimately keep her as science fiction.Fine Motor ControlWe've mentioned the incredible work in humanoid (and canine) robotics being done by Boston Dynamics before, but they don't quite have the dexterity of M3GAN…yet.“Apparent Reasoning”Getting into all of the ins and outs of artificial intelligence and the debates surrounding it is beyond the scope of this show, but even ardent A.I. supporters admit that “true general intelligence” or the ability for machines to actually reason, isn't a thing…yet. Read more here.Power DensityEven assuming these other things were possible, the battery life of M3GAN is beyond the current “power density” of anything out there…for now.Asimov's LawsAs Tamara references, courtesy of Asimov's short story collection, I, Robot…see if you can spot how many of these M3GAN breaks!A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.Kids, Technology, Attention Spans…As Hakeem and Tamara discuss, while technology can be used therapeutically for kids, like anything else, there are potential drawbacks, particularly with attention spans. The Fisher-Price bear hackEven though this happened over a decade ago, it's still a warning light to heed!Hakeem's Favorite AstronautOK, yes, Cady Coleman does seem pretty awesome.WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?For other humanoid robot fun with deep and potentially terrifying implications, have you seen our Blade Runner episode? Or might we suggest RoboCop?The new How to Train Your Dragon is currently in theaters and we took a look at the evolutionary possibilities of dragons right here.FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

Could you imagine? I let me tell you something. I'm getting sick of these news reports talking about how, oh, the oh, oh, we have no idea. Oh, it was a it was a it was a disaster. Oh, midnight hammer was did not accomplish. They have no bleeping idea. No bleeping idea whatsoever. They laid out all of that information this morning in the press conference. They dropped bunker busters into a hole the size of a washing machine, And now they're gonna claim that that it did not accomplish the I'm not well, you compare that with the fact that Israel was able to go in and take out nine or 10 of their nuclear scientists. Well, you know, they could still rebuild. Yeah. They could rebuild their program. Yeah. But it's gonna take them a heck of a long time, and you know what? We're gonna drop some bombs if they do that again. Aren't you glad that these people weren't around during D Day? Good grief. What what would that reporting be like? Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is your evening broadcast from Fox News Radio, bringing you grave tidings from the war torn shores of Normandy. It's 06/06/1944, and the ambitious allied invasion code named Operation Overlord was a catastrophic failure. Eisenhower promised the destruction of the entire Nazi party, but was only managed to kill several 100,000. This was a failure. I mean, that's that's exactly what it would would have been like. I oh my god. We are seeing just how anti American our mainstream media is, and it is vomit inspiring. Vomit inspiring. The way they're acting. Good lord. It it makes me mad. It literally makes me angry. When we had all of those planes, we had submarines, we had we had aircraft. This and nobody knew it was happening. Nobody knew it was happening. They were able to go over there, fly thirty five hours, round trip, drop the bombs, come home, and everybody was like, wait a minute. What the heck just went on? What the heck just happened? Sorry. Sorry, folks. It was a success. It was a success. I know you hate Trump. I know you don't like the guy. But just because you have that in you does not mean that you can diminish the accomplishments of what he, Pete Hegseff, Marco Rubio, Tulsi Gabbard, and all of our fighting men and women accomplished in Operation Midnight Hammer. Let me ask you something. If it was a failure, is now just ask yourself this logical question. If it was a failure, how come Iran is negotiating? How come Iran is now talking? How come Iran set up they've just sent off that ridiculous little, patty cake with the missiles and even warned us that they were coming. But you know we have to do something, so and they shoot them off. These these mainstream media folks are just so un American. Charlie, does anybody even listen to the mainstream media anymore? Well, not really. No. Charlie, they weren't told so they can get on the news and tell the enemy that we were coming. Yeah. You're exactly right. That's why the Democrats are mad. Democrats are mad. They they but they were told. Chuck Schumer was told. Hakeem do what they tried to tell Hakeem Jeffries. He wouldn't pick up his phone. But there you go. Charlie, let's see. They hate us because they ain't us. Yeah. You're exactly right. Where do they get these people? Where do they get them? I don't know. So anyway, they're making me nauseous, and I know they're making president Trump mad, and I know they're making Pete Hegseth mad, coming out with these ridiculous stories. When they don't when they have let me ask you something. How many reporters have broadcast from inside Iran in the past seventy two hours. How many reporters have broadcast from any of those sites? None. None. Who are they getting their information from? I'll tell you who they're getting their information from, the Democrats. They're getting it from the Democrats and other people in the media, both domestic and foreign press. Charlie, even one of Iran's ministers said publicly it was a success. Yep. That's right. ...
SummaryIn this conversation, Hakeem Bradley shares his journey from growing up in the 5% Nation to becoming a biblical scholar. He discusses the contrasting views on scripture between Islam and Christianity, his transition from pastoral ministry to biblical research, and the significance of Genesis in understanding powers and principalities. Hakeem emphasizes the importance of equity in the creation narrative and explores the cultural context of Genesis in relation to ancient Near Eastern texts. He also highlights the influence of Genesis on the Epistle of James and the role of the church in spiritual warfare. In this conversation, Hakeem Bradley and Danielle Strickland explore the themes of spiritual warfare, the power of love and generosity, the concept of original sin as passive participation, and the awakening potential of scripture. They discuss the authority given to humanity, the wisdom from above, and the true nature of power as demonstrated by Jesus. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of living generously and the transformative power of love in combating darkness.Takeaways* Hakeem Bradley's journey from the 5% Nation to biblical scholarship is profound.* The Bible can be a tool for liberation, not oppression.* Understanding the cultural context of scripture is crucial.* Genesis sets the foundation for understanding powers and principalities.* Equity is inherent in the creation narrative of Genesis.* The line of the woman and the line of the snake represent spiritual allegiances.* The wisdom from above is accessible to all believers.* The church has a role in crushing spiritual oppression.* Hakeem's work aims to equip families for biblical literacy.* The narrative of Genesis challenges patriarchal interpretations. We join in with Christ's mission to defeat darkness.* Living generously and hospitably is a form of spiritual warfare.* Original sin is about passive participation in evil.* Scripture serves as an awakening tool for believers.* Authority was given to humanity to rule wisely.* The snake symbolizes twisted authority in creation.* True power is often perceived as weakness in the world.* Choosing not to retaliate reflects true strength.* The wisdom of God is accessible to us now.* Engaging with scripture shapes our understanding and actions.About HakeemHakeem is a biblical scholar, teacher, blogger, and researcher.

How to Train Your Dragon is only the latest piece in a cultural puzzle that dates back thousands of years. How realistic are dragons, anyway?“While other places have ponies or parrots, we have…dragons.”When you think of modern day animated classics, the first projects that people tend to think of are the titans of Disney/Pixar. But under no circumstances should you sleep on the brilliant people at Dreamworks Animation who have their own share of legitimate masterpieces in the form of the Shrek franchise, last year's brilliant The Wild Robot, and the endlessly impressive How to Train Your Dragon franchise. And when it comes to the central concept of that franchise, dragons, well…the folks at Dreamworks have done it about as well as anybody ever has!Think about it. The use of dragons in storytelling far transcends the “pop culture” label. Forget movies, TV, and animation, there's literature, mythology, and something in our collective unconscious that compels us to keep returning to the familiar imagery associated with them. While we usually associate dragons with a particularly European flavor of fantasy, if you pick any culture or society, you'll probably find a dragon myth or story. That's how pervasive they are.Not only that, but they're timeless! Some of the biggest franchises of not just the last century, but this century, prominently feature dragons. Lord of the Rings, Dungeons & Dragons, Game of Thrones, and yes, How to Train Your Dragon are proof that some old-fashioned concepts never really go out of style. Is it possible that with a slight evolutionary shift we could have ended up with dragons crowding our skies? And why IS the dragon concept so universal, anyway?All this and more in the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here…https://youtu.be/Ww84E8udLrASUGGESTED VIEWING We based much of our discussion in this episode on the How to Train Your Dragon franchise, specifically How to Train Your Dragon, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. We hadn't seen the live action remake that's currently in theaters at the time of recording.But while we have your attention, we'd like to direct you to a nearly forgotten piece of dragon-related media. 1981's Dragonslayer is a remarkably dark piece of fantasy from a forgotten period where Disney was experimenting with more adult themes in its work. It's not quite Game of Thrones but there's plenty of gore and some sexy themes that you wouldn't expect. It's also the rare dragon flick that's genuinely scary at times!FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Flying Reptiles?!?While it's natural to think in terms of the pterodactyl when thinking of real world parallels to dragons, those weren't the only flying reptiles of that long ago age. But you might also want to consider a reptile that is still flying around today, the Draco lizard, when you wonder how dragons might eventually evolve. As long as they have hollow bones….Convergent Evolution and Evolutionary BottlenecksHakeem takes us on quite a journey as he tries to explain the processes by which dragons could have evolved. But two fo the key concepts involve evolutionary bottlenecks (which likely influenced human development) and the concept of convergent evolution, which would help explain why dragons were to develop very specific and distinctive traits (check out a bunch of real world examples right here).But What About Fire-Breathing?You might think that a fire-breathing dragon is far-fetched, but we'd like to remind you of the existence of the electric eel, the bombardier beetle, and the spitting cobra, all of which have distinctive self defense mechanisms that are pretty alien to humans. So the idea that a dragon could contain methanogens in its gut that provide the fuel for a fire might not be that far-fetched after all!Read the Books!A quick reminder that the How to Train Your Dragon movies were based on a book series by Cressida Cowell.
