Can science actually PROVE God exists? Dr. Antony Latham joins us to explore how the cosmos, consciousness, and the complexity of life all point to divine design—and why the Big Bang might be Christianity's best friend.In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis sits down with retired physician and author Dr. Antony Latham to tackle one of the most critical questions facing believers today: Does science contradict Christian faith, or does it actually confirm it? From his own journey as a teenage skeptic who lost faith studying evolution to becoming a Christian in Kenya and diving deep into biology, consciousness, and cosmology, Antony brings a unique perspective that bridges the gap between the lab and the sanctuary.​What We Discuss:-The Big Bang & Biblical Creation -Fine-Tuning of the Universe-The Cambrian Explosion-Consciousness & the Soul -Moral Law & Objective Beauty -Miracles & an Open Universe Whether you're wrestling with doubts about faith and science, or you're looking for solid apologetic tools to strengthen your biblical worldview, this conversation will equip you with evidence-based answers rooted in both Scripture and scientific discovery. 0:00 - Introduction1:04 - From Skeptic to Scientist to Believer5:13 - Big Bang: Friend or Foe to Christian Faith?9:20 - Fine-Tuning Arguments & Cosmological Evidence12:17 - String Theory & Multiple Universe Objections14:03 - The Exquisite Precision of Universal Constants15:37 - God of the Gaps Argument Addressed17:04 - Origin of Life & Irreducible Complexity19:30 - Old Earth Creation & Genesis Interpretation22:56 - The Cambrian Explosion & Fossil Record28:03 - Reading Genesis 1 Poetically & Theologically31:17 - Consciousness & Evidence for the Immaterial Soul35:17 - Moral Objectivity, Beauty, & Free Will41:02 - Mind-Body Dualism & Christian Worldview43:03 - Taking Back Science for the KingdomABOUT THE GUEST:

Published as a 47-page pamphlet in colonial America on January 10, 1776, Common Sense challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy. The elegantly plain and persuasive language that Thomas Paine used touched the hearts and minds of the average American and was the first work to openly ask for political freedom and independence from Great Britain. Paine’s powerful words came to symbolize the spirit of the Revolution itself. General George Washington had it read to his troops.

Ramsey Kanaan is a musician, anarchist, and publisher. He is the founder of AK Press and, later, PM Press. I've been a fan of PM Press for many years, I highly recommend diving into their catalog if you're not already familiar, it's one of the best out there. They've tabled at some of our events over the years. We talk Ramsey's origin story from Scotland to San Francisco, what it means to him to be an Anarchist, the contemporary state of Socialism, and, of course, punk rock.

Andrea Faulkner Williams is the co-founder of Tubby Todd, a cult-favorite clean baby skincare brand created for families with sensitive skin.We're often told that if you want to build a real empire, you need venture capital, a massive team, and a perfectly engineered growth plan from day one. But my guest today built one of the most beloved baby skincare brands in America by doing the exact opposite.Andrea started Tubby Todd with 750 bottles in a cluttered San Diego garage. No ad spend. No background in chemistry. Just a very real problem she couldn't ignore. Her baby's eczema was so severe, it completely changed the way she looked at “baby-safe” products.Fast forward to today, Tubby Todd has tens of thousands of five-star reviews, a hero product parents swear is “a miracle in a jar”, and a major retail milestone. They've officially launched in Target, with a nationwide rollout underway.In this episode, Andrea shares how her early comfort with risk shaped her path as an entrepreneur, why clarity around your why and your one goal matters more than confidence, and how community, not paid ads, became the foundation of Tubby Todd's growth. We talk about building a business alongside her husband, the inflection points that took the brand from garage to national retail, and the discipline it took to prioritize profitability before scaling. She also opens up about navigating motherhood while running a fast-growing company, and the daily non-negotiables, like sleep, movement, and joy, that keep her grounded through it all.In this episode, we'll talk to Andrea about:* Andrea's upbringing and early exposure to entrepreneurship. [02:37]* Andrea's natural comfort with risk and optimism. [05:03]* Advice on overcoming fear: start with your “why” and one clear goal. [07:14]* How long it took Andrea to define her personal brand and goals. [11:36]* The moment Andrea knew she wanted to build something of her own. [15:04]* The first formula fails when their son Walker's eczema reacts badly. [19:13]* Buying their first 750 bottles and shipping from their garage. [20:52]* Origin of the Tubby Todd brand value: “Be a good friend” in everything. [22:23]* Prioritizing profitability from day one despite premium positioning. [24:39]* The breakout success of All Over Ointment and its cult-like reviews. [27:04]* How All Over Ointment was formulated as a healing, petroleum-free alternative that truly works. [37:38]* Their community-first approach made ads a support tool, not the strategy. [38:45]* Early DIY branding using iPhone photos and a scrappy website, and why it still worked. [40:13]* Long road to Target: years of prep before ever saying yes to retail. [42:07]* Target launch uses the exact same formula as DTC. [43:00]* Her biggest advice: nourish your relationship with your partner weekly. [45:21]* Daily non-negotiables: sleep, movement, and one small joy every single day. [46:48]* How faith and community is the backbone of both her business and her family.

One of the worst things that can happen to anyone is to be alive without a reason. That reason is vision. In this message, we see the necessity of vision, and the impact of vision.

In this second part of the message, we see more necessities of vision, ways to access vision, and the impact of vision.

Would you like some genetics in your politics? The Origin of Politics: How Evolution and Ideology Shape the Fate of Nations – Social Disintegration, Birth Rates, and the Path to Extinction By: Nicholas Wade Published: 2025 256 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? Wade offers up an evolutionary psychology account of how to make politics actually function; how, when you try to disconnect politics and the exercise of power from core human nature, as shaped by evolution, things go off the rails.  What authorial biases should I be aware of? Nicholas Wade worked as a science writer for the NYT for 30 years. For the bulk of those years he was the science and health editor. He left the paper in 2012 and in 2014 he published A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History. The book argued that human evolution is ongoing and that it has been "recent, copious, and regional". The regional part got him "cancelled" or at least it attracted a lot of negative attention, since it implied that differing national outcomes might be partly genetic in nature rather than wholly the result of chance, culture, or colonization.  Who should read this book? If you're looking for a strong pushback against blank-slateism along with a defense of the traditional nation-state (and of tradition in general). Or if you're looking for another reason to worry about decreasing fertility.  What does the book have to say about the future? The aforementioned fertility decline looms large in his warnings about the future, but as I mentioned he also warns about any policy that tries to exercise power in ignorance of evolutionary drives. One of the major drives is tribalism and immigration directly conflicts with that instinct. All of this points to the potential for a demographically declining society with lots of disorder.  Specific thoughts: Children are the ultimate civilizational scorecard

Quebec's commercial real estate market has changed fast, and the old "local only" playbook does not hold up anymore. Louis Bergeron, partner at HPDG, joins Axel Monsaingeon to unpack what appraisers are seeing before the headlines: how developers now chase opportunities across the province, why 2024 felt frozen, and what shifted in 2025 to bring buyers and sellers closer together. Louis also shares the real story behind PDG's roots coming out of Desjardins, how the firm grew through acquisitions and mergers, and why a merger has to be "1 + 1 = 3" or it is not worth doing. They dig into PDG's full-service model from valuation and property management to tax appeals, litigation support, and expropriation tied to major projects like the REM and the Blue Line extension. Louis closes with what PDG is building for 2026, including a refreshed brand and a bigger push to share market insights, plus why comparing cap rates is often harder than people think.   Topics & Timestamps

Did you know quick, courageous decisions can unlock clarity, confidence, and real progress in life and in work, especially when you approach them in creative, improv-inspired ways? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard reconnects with longtime friend and former coach Gina Trimarco Klauder, a leadership strategist, international bestselling author, improv comedian, and founder of Carolina Improv Company. Together, they explore how improv-inspired decision-making helps leaders and professionals break free from analysis paralysis and adapt in times of uncertainty. The conversation centers on Gina's latest book, The New Choice Effect: How to Make the Right Decisions Quickly Without Overthinking, which blends improv principles, neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and real-life vulnerability to show how "improvised intelligence" leads to clearer, more confident decisions. Drawing from decades of experience in leadership development, entrepreneurship, and improvisational theater, Gina explains why waiting for the "perfect" choice often keeps people stuck, and how making any thoughtful choice creates clarity and progress. Gerald and Gina dive into the power of intuition, the impact of environment on creativity and healing, and why creativity is often trained out of us over time. They also unpack practical tools like "Yes, and" thinking and the "New Choice" game for disrupting stuck mental patterns and building adaptive decision habits. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by decisions, navigating AI disruption or economic uncertainty, or leading through change. Productivity is not about perfect plans. It is about choosing, learning, and choosing again with confidence.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Lynn Smith, former NBC News, MSNBC, and CNN Headline News anchor, executive communication coach, and author of Just Keep Going. Lynn is best known for helping Fortune 500 leaders turn pressure into presence, but her newest book takes an unexpected form: a children's story about fear, resilience, and perseverance. That surprising choice is exactly what makes this conversation so relevant for leaders. Andy and Lynn explore why the same fears that stop CEOs are often the ones that show up in kids, how our inner critic or "Brain Bully" shapes behavior under pressure, and why the goal is not to eliminate fear but to metabolize it. Lynn shares deeply personal stories about rejection, family influence, and the lessons she learned growing up that shaped her approach to leadership and communication. You'll also hear practical techniques leaders can use to calm their nervous systems, give feedback that actually helps instead of harms, and model resilience for their teams and families. If you lead people or projects and want practical insights on emotional intelligence, confidence, and navigating fear, this episode is for you. Sound Bites "The one trait and the one skill that separates us from success is resilience. If you can acquire that skill, you will be successful. Hard stop." "Your greatest failure can be in service of somebody else." "We are biologically wired for fear. Trying to delete it is a fool's journey." "Bravery is doing something even if you are afraid." "How you show up within one tenth of a second is defining you for your audience." "Feedback leads to growth. Criticism feeds the brain bully." "When we calm our nervous system, we can make better decisions." "There's a mouse in all of us that needs the reminder to just keep going." "Ending what doesn't serve you is not quitting." "Fear often shows up as stress, pressure, or imposter syndrome, but it's the same circuitry." "Resilience is the greatest gift we can give our kids and our teams."

Published as a 47-page pamphlet in colonial America on January 10, 1776, Common Sense challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy. The elegantly plain and persuasive language that Thomas Paine used touched the hearts and minds of the average American and was the first work to openly ask for political freedom and independence from Great Britain. Paine’s powerful words came to symbolize the spirit of the Revolution itself. General George Washington had it read to his troops.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  15 years ago, I remember being excited to find Ian Fleming's explanation of how to write a thriller. I saved the text of that article from the Internet directly into Evernote. As I look back, I think that is probably my favourite piece of text that I've saved in my notes over the years. This morning I did a little experiment. I asked Gemini what Ian Fleming‘s advice is for writing a thriller. Within seconds, Gemini gave me not only the original text but also a summary and bullet points of the main points.  Does this mean that many of the things we have traditionally saved in our digital notes today are no longer needed? I'm not so sure. It's this and many similar uses of our digital note-taking applications that may no longer be necessary And that nicely brings me on to this week's topic, and that means it's time for me to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Ricardo. Ricardo asks, Could you discuss more about note-taking in your podcast, as I have difficulties regarding how to collect and store what's important? Hi Ricardo. Thank you for your question.  When digital note-taking apps began appearing on our mobile phones around 2009, they were a revelation.  Prior to this innovation, we carried around notebooks and collected our thoughts, meeting notes and plans in them.  Yet, given our human frailties, most of these notebooks were lost, and even if they were not, it was difficult to find the right notebook with the right notes.  Some people were good at storing these. Many journalists and scientists were excellent at keeping these records organised. As were many artists.  And we are very lucky that they did because many years later, those notebooks are still available to us. You can see Charles Darwin's and Isaac Newton's notebooks today. Many of which are kept at the Athenaeum Club in London, and others are in museums around the world.  It was important in the days before the Internet to keep these notebooks safe. They contained original thoughts, scientific processes and information that, as in Charles Darwin's and Isaac Newton's case, would later form part of a massive scientific breakthrough.  Darwin's journey on HMS Beagle was a defining moment in scientific history. It provided the raw data and observations that would eventually lead to his theory of evolution by natural selection.  That was published some twenty years after his journey in his book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.  During Darwin's five-year journey around the world, he filled 15 field notebooks with observations and sketches—these were roughly the same size as the iconic Field Notes pocket notebooks you can buy today.  Additionally, he kept several Geological Specimen Notebooks. These were slightly larger than his field notes notebooks. He used these primarily to catalogue the fossils and rocks he collected Darwin also kept a large journal during his travels, which he used to record data and incidents.  These were all original thoughts and observations.  Today, all that information is freely available on the internet and, of course, in books.  What's more, with AI tools such as Gemini and ChatGPT, finding this information today is easy. I, like many people today, rarely use internet searches for information. I simply ask Gemini.  This means there's no point in saving this information in my digital notes. All my searches are saved within the Gemini app, as they are in ChatGPT and Claude.  But your original thoughts, ideas and project notes are unique. It's these you want to keep in your digital notes.  Much like Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton wrote down their thoughts and observations, your thoughts, observations and ideas should be collected and stored.  When Darwin travelled on the Beagle, he was 22 years old. When he published The Origin of Species, he was 45.  And perhaps, like Darwin, not all your ideas today will have an immediate practical purpose. But if you don't keep them, they never will. This is why it's important to keep them where you can find them later.  And that's where our digital tools today are so much better than the paper notebooks we kept. We can find anything, any time, from any digital device we have on hand.  I remember reading Leonardo Da Vinci's biography, and he often travelled to other parts of Italy. If he needed to reference a note he had made—and he made copious notes—and he did not have the right notebook with him on his travels, it would have taken him days to retrieve the information.  We don't have that problem today.  So, when it comes to collecting, be ruthless in what you keep.  I have a notebook in my notes app called “Suppliers”. This is where I store the names of the companies I regularly buy things from.  For example, I get my clothing from several preferred retailers. I buy my woollen jumpers (sweaters) from Cordings of Piccadilly. In the note I have for Cordings, are my sizes and the website address.  This makes it easy for me to find what I am looking for and order. I use Apple's Password app to store my login details, so once I have found what I want, I can order it very quickly.  Amazon makes this even easier with a “Buy It Again” section, so if I am running low on Yorkshire Tea, I go to Amazon, click Buy It Again, and within a few seconds, I see Yorkshire Tea and can order straight away.  Ten years ago, I kept all that information in my notes. Today, I don't bother as it's faster to go directly to Amazon.  Another use I have for my digital notes is to keep all my client meeting notes. Each week, I will have around fifteen to twenty calls with clients, and I keep notes for each call as I write feedback, which I send to the client after the call.  These are unique notes, and each one will be different, so using the Darwin/Newton principle—keeping thoughts, ideas and observations in your notes—they will be kept in my notes in a notebook called “clients”. What's great about this is I have over eight years' worth of client notes in Evernote, which feed ideas for future content as they're directly relatable to real experiences and difficulties.  Another useful note to have in your notes is something called an “Anchor Note”. This is a note where you keep critical information you may need at any particular time.  For example, I keep all the subscriber links to my various websites there, which can be quickly copied and pasted whenever needed.  I also have the Korean Immigration office website there, since it's not easy to find, and I only need it every 3 or 4 years.  Depending on how security-conscious you are, you can also keep your Social Security and driving license numbers there, too.  How you organise your notes depends on you and how your brain works. However, the more complex your organisational system, the slower you will be at finding what you need.  Now this is where computers come into their own. Whether you use Apple, Google or Microsoft, all these companies have built incredible search functionality into the core of their systems.  This means as long as you give your note a title that means something to you, you will be able to find it in five or ten years' time.  I remember once my wife asked me for a password to a Korean website I had not used in ten years or more. I couldn't remember it, and I didn't have the password stored in my old password manager, 1Password.  As a long shot, I typed the name of the website into Evernote—the note-taking app I've been using for almost fifteen years—and within a second, the website with my login details was on my screen.  If I'd tried to find that information by going through my notebooks and tags, I would never have found it. I let Evernote handle the hard work, and it did so superbly.  However, that said, there is something about having some basic structure to your notes. I use a structure I call GAPRA. GAPRA stands for Goals, Areas of Focus, Projects, Resources and Archive. It's loosely based on Tiago Forte's PARA method.  I find having separate places for my goals, areas of focus and projects makes it easier for me to navigate things when I am creating a note.  My goals section is for tracking data. For instance, if I were losing weight, I would record my weight each week there.  My areas of focus notebook is where I keep my definitions of my areas and what they mean to me, and it gives me a single place to review these every six months.  My project notebook is where I keep all my notes for my current projects.  The biggest notebook I have, though, is my resources notebook. This is a catch-all for everything else. My supplier's notebook is there, as is information about different cities I travel to or may travel to in the future. As I look at that notebook now, Paris is the note that has the most information. (Although Osaka in Japan is getting close to it)  I also have places to visit in Korea that I keep for when my mother visits—which she does every year—so I can build a different itinerary for her each year.  The archive is for old notes. I'm not by nature a hoarder, but I do find it reassuring that anything I have created is still there and still searchable.  And that's it, Ricardo.  You don't need to keep anything that is findable on the internet or in AI; that's duplication. But what I would highly recommend you keep are your original ideas, thoughts, and meeting notes (even if they are being summarised by AI. How AI interprets what's been said is not always what was meant)  And if, like me, you prefer to take handwritten notes, you can scan them into your digital notes app so you have a quick reference even if you don't have your paper notebook with you.  I hope that helps, and thank you for your question, Ricardo. And thank you to you, too, for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

Jun 25, 2025   One of the most radical things you can do is live your life in direct opposition to the forces that control our society. Not just fighting for policies or organizing your community, although those are certainly important parts of it, but also living with values that oppose the values of our dominant society. And even more importantly, raising the next generation to embody those values—not in a coercive way, but through organic parenting and role modeling that make radicalism irresistible. This is how we raise revolutionaries: instilling community, love, egalitarianism, and a need for justice into children. And this is just what our guest in today's episode has devoted himself to doing. Breht O'Shea is an activist, organizer, political educator, and host of the podcast Revolutionary Left Radio and co-host of the podcasts Red Menace and Shoeless in South Dakota. He is a father of three based out of Omaha Nebraska. In this conversation, Part 3 of our Post Capitalist Parenting series, Breht shares with us insights about parenting that he's learned over the years as a father of three and what Marxism teaches us about parenting. We discuss the classic text by Engels, The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, which is a dialectical materialist analysis of patriarchy and the family, tracing the emergence of the patriarchal family and it took through various iterations of class society but also exploring what families have looked like under actually-existing socialism and also what it might look like under communism. We also explore the anti-natalist position which attempts to argue that having children is immoral, why this perspective is deeply flawed, what Buddhism can teach us about parenting, and much, much more.
