Historian and author Kathryn Hughes and No Such Thing As a Fish presenter Dan Schreiber recommend favourite books to Harriett Gilbert. Kathryn chooses Flaubert's Parrot by Julian Barnes, an exploration of the French writer's life in the form of a novel. Dan's choice is very different - John Higgs taking on the conceptual artists and chart toppers The KLF. Harriett has gone for Michael Ondaatje's novel Warlight, set in a murky and mysterious post-war London.Presenter: Harriett GilbertProducer for BBC Audio Bristol: Sally Heaven
A masterwork from one of the great writers of our time.
SIn today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Johnny Angel and Christy Powell will work both sincere calls and trolls.First caller is Emmanuel from GA who asks how to come out as an atheist to his parents. It is about setting healthy boundaries. Do you feel like you have to do this? Are the interactions filled with tension? Sharing this part of yourself could make the tensions worse, however, some transparency can be an important step. Make sure your parents know it is about your own beliefs, and not them. Wesley in WV thinks that the hosts witches because they do not believe in angels and are sluggish with the holy spirit. We hope that you get the care that you need and are surrounded by loved ones that will help you work out your thoughts on this subject. Mr. Warlight in AK has proof in the form of stories that leprechauns exist that wear green suits and hide gold. Where are you getting this folklore from? Is there any evidence beyond the story? Where are they documented to show up and why can't we see them today? If you aspire to be a troll, bring a better game than this. Do some research. Carpe Diem in CO wants to know the distinction between obligation and virtue. If you can do better, then you must do better. If every virtue is imperative then we would wear ourselves out by spending all our time performing virtuous acts. Is there good and evil in the world, or can we step away from these words and look through the eyes of preference?Rick in Canada states that atheists are slowing scientific progress. How do you think scientists do their job? Do you think that a scientist sits at their desk and disproves a theory? Did you examine all the evolution? Examine your sources on some of your data points and recognize there are many tiny contributions to this thing we call science. Chuck in HI believes science is just another religion that says there is no god. Science is the opposite of religion. Science starts with observation; religion starts with the conclusion and works backward. Science is evolving and religion is holding people back. Science delivers the goods and religion causes us to kill each other. Sam in NY has evidence of Jesus performing miracles and resurrecting. Who are the witnesses? There are statements such as the writings of Paul that are not allowed into evidence because they do not meet the hearsay exceptions. Why do we drop the standard of evidence for how we spend eternity? Just because we don't know something, does not mean there was a supernatural cause. You don't solve a mystery with a greater mystery. Is there anything you could not believe based on faith? Thank you everyone for tuning in folks! The question of the week is: What is a life hack that god does not want you to know about?
In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Forrest Valkai is joined by Jmike!Frank from the USA claims that if you don't believe in God, your life is meaningless. The first premise of this fallacious “argument” is the existence of objective morality. Here's my advice, slow down and think this through.Chris from SC wants clarification on the difference between sex and gender. Cliff from Canada wants to ask, eventually, why we ought to worship God assuming it is real. Mr. Warlight is calling in with an argument for the supernatural that our hosts just CAN'T HANDLE. Abhishek from India wants to know why it's so important to question religious beliefs and focus on its problems when it does have benefits. Andrew from Canada's argument for God is the same processes science textbooks go through when they are updated. Why revamp the bible? If it's outdated in terms of its conclusions about reality, why would it be useful to go back and rewrite it with our current scientifical findings integrated when the bible has nothing to do with modern science? Instead of having a story with inaccurate claims about reality, you now have a story with some inaccurate carry-overs, because they have to be there for the bible to still be the bible, with some modern scientific understandings sprinkled in. Chuck from HI believes that matter, space, stars, and Earth are all eternal. Oxygen is as eternal as everyone's excitement about Marvel's Eternals. I would add more, but anything I say would detract from whatever just happened.
In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Johnny P. Angel is joined by Seth Andrews!First up is Mr. Warlight from AK who believes that the hosts whom they've previously debated on the show have been closed-minded to their arguments.Mike from WA claims that naturalist claims about the origins of life are irrational. Where have I heard this argument before?Daniel from WI asks the hosts how serious they are about actually finding the truth. The proof for the truth of a global flood is wherever Daniel is.Felix from FL claims that exorcisms are evidence of the existence of hell. There are quite a few sub-claims that need to be justified before we can get to that conclusion.Clark from CA believes that there is a separation between the mind and brain. The claim is that the mind is immaterial and doesn't need to be connected to a physical form and that this somehow points to the existence of God.David from NY is calling to discuss the book, “The Late Great Planet Earth,” which the caller claims predicts many recent events.
Griff and Alex begin their discussion on the magic of Roshar, the world of The Stormlight Archive, a series by Brandon Sanderson (https://www.brandonsanderson.com). In this episode we talk about Stormlight, Lifelight, Voidlight, Warlight, Towerlight, and speculate on what the combination of Lifelight and Voidlight is. Join us next time when we discuss the surges and Knights Radiant. Spoilers for all Cosmere books. If you have questions you'd like us to discuss, email us at guidetothecosmere@gmail.com.

Welcome back to the show! Please welcome today's hosts of the Atheist Experience, Kenneth and Jmike!Mr. Warlight from Ak claims he can prove the spiritual form of Jesus Christ and even better can do so on the show! No, he can't.Clark from CA has a transcendental argument for God and asks if moral statements are propositional.Kevin from GA claims that traditional Christian values produce the most moral society. Why are we in such a rush to toss those society-shaping rules aside?Amunuel from TX wants to discuss Kenneth's position of free will when it comes to the proposition that God created people. Apparently, god created some people to be saved and others to be sent to hell and punished. What an immoral thug that God is.Jon from Canada is back, again. Today he asks what evidence would convince our hosts. Listen to Kenneth's fantastic reframing of this question.Zach from D.C. asks if Atheists have an argument against Islam. Apparently, Atheism is just doubt and arrogance. If it is arrogant to admit you don't know something, then I'll take arrogance any day. “Beware this boy.” - Dickens.
In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Matt Dillahunty is joined by Forrest Valkai!First up is Christian from the UK who has a hypothetical argument for the existence of a God or a divine being.Next up is John from India, who has found a connection between Anti-Natalism and Anthropodicy and has concluded that the only justification for having children in this imperfect universe is universal salvation.Next is John from TX claims to have scientific, historical, and testimonial evidence for God. When the hosts push for the scientific evidence, the caller continually wants to return to their personal testimony instead.Declan from Australia is calling to ask why atheists don't believe in the Christian God when he's made the caller's life, and apparently everybody's life, better?Alex from CA is a deist who believes that a non-interactive intelligent creator-God can be demonstrated through perceived coincidences? Wouldn't coincidental creation imply that things weren't intelligently designed?Mr. Warlight from AK says Matt is a Gothic Preacher. What & Why?Our final call is Andrew from ME believes the supernatural is a requirement for the first two laws of thermodynamics to be true.
First up is Mark from PA who recently lost a loved one and is struggling with the typical Christian belief that God is loving when such suffering is allowed to persist. Next up is Anthony from PA who claims that intelligent design is philosophically sound. Can the caller demonstrate the truth of intelligent design without being fallacious? Find out now! Next is Bob from TN who calls to read us bible verses, specifically John 4:10, that somehow demonstrate the truth of...itself? Start the clock. Tru from TX is calling to ask for advice on dealing with extremely religious family members who act hurtfully whenever the topic is broached. Next up is Patrick from FL who wants to know why many skeptics deem extrasensory perception as “hooey” and dismiss it out of hand. Next up is Matthew from England who believes that explicit (capable of assessing evidence), weak (not claiming certainty) atheists have a burden of proof. How? Next is Jack from FL who presents a “simple” syllogism to prove God. Typically, syllogisms are not 1000+ words. Mr. Warlight from AK calls to present the single greatest argument for the existence of Ghosts. Check-mate skeptics! Flawless victory! Finally, Noah from OR wants some clarification on the objective and subjective components of a secular moral system.
Welcome to another episode of AxP. Matt and Jim are back together again!First up is Mr. Warlight, who claims to have a test for souls. Sadly, it involves desecrating a statue in a cemetery, so we're gonna move on.Mike in Texas has More (-mon) bad arguments for God. The universe is a big place, and therefore, a universe creating entity is possible. Matt and Jim point out that possibility is not probability, and this is as good an argument for gods as it is for butt monkeys. Just listen, it'll make sense.Next is Jasmine who's going to take us from the Bible to… entropy? Jim reminds us that the Bible is the claim, not the evidence, and gives our caller a quick lesson in thermodynamics. Matt points out that just because order came from chaos, that doesn't mean God did it.Brazilian Bruno is next, who takes a very long time to say… God could prevent evil, but doesn't, so HIS God is a neutral one. Jim gives a great Hell metaphor, and Matt tries to show Bruno where he's erred.Lightning round with Earl, who had a dream that convinced him God has updated… his own mind? We're not gonna waste time on dreams today.Justin in New York asks our hosts for tips on engaging in constructive debates in social settings. Matt and Jim both agree, pick your battles Justin, you don't need to die on every hill! Using the Socratic method is always a good start to any conversation Justin.Jonathan in AZ seems to want to back Matt into a corner by saying he's equated theism with believing other wacky stuff, flat earth, science denial, etc. He cites some calls from other past shows, but Matt is quick to shut down this attempt at verbal chicanery. Admiral Ackbar sniffed this out from 12 parsecs away.Next up is Monsters (not the kind with scary teeth). He believes in limited deities with tremendous power…? Concepts can have power, but that doesn't mean they actually exist. Spiderman is a great moral example, doesn't mean he's real.Anon in Texas doesn't see the harm in holding beliefs that aren't true, and doesn't see why it should matter. Beliefs inform actions, and a flawed process can lead to more dangerous views. Anon seems like a good guy, just a bit mixed up.Joe hasn't got a grasp on the burden of proof. Matt gives a courtroom analogy, and Jim explains the null hypothesis. I don't think Joe has passed the bar exam.AJ grew up as a JW, and is seeking advice on coming out as an atheist. Matt advises a cost/benefit approach to these conversations, and Jim offers a few resources, like the Secular Therapy Project.Paul wants to talk about how energy shows the possibility of God, but also doesn't think it matters. You waited two hours for this?Finally Tim wants to know why Jesus didn't write anything down! Dad did! Matt is less concerned about the late Bronze Age, and asks why isn't he contributing now? We list a few absurdities from Christian theology, and give Tim a quick e-hug.That's the show today folks, hasta la vista!
SHOW NOTESIn today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Matt Dillahunty is joined by Shannon QFirst up today is Mr. Warlight from AK who wants to question the host's views on spirituality. Just like last week, the caller has nothing to present.Mohammed from NE believes that spirits are not tangible, but internal conceptual projections of a person's mind. Since we can't tell whether those projections are actually related to the existence of spirits or just a part of a person's imagination, how does this help us prove that spirits truly exist in reality?Next is Setuf from Spain who doesn't understand the point the of Violinist analogy. It's about bodily autonomy, not consent as consent can be revoked.Up next from California is Raul who has a question regarding free speech versus free action. As the conversation unfolds, the caller's points begin to drift towards the advocation of thought crimes.Next is Rob from VA who claims that emotions are irrational. Our hosts respond that emotions themselves are not necessarily either rational or irrational, but are reactions to stimuli. How we reach those emotions and handle them is what makes them and our responses either rational or otherwise.Next up is Simo from Canada who asks why rape can be considered wrong across the past, present, and future in a subjective moral system. Isn't it better to be able to present an evidence-based justification for why something is wrong rather than just assert “it is”?Next is Tony from AK who is struggling to come to terms with the process of deconversion without feeling like they are betraying the church.Up next is Your Truly from Canada who calls in to assert that the Bible doesn't advocate for slavery when it very clearly does and has been covered ad nauseam.Next is Eric from KS who wants advice on how to remain patient during conversations with dishonest theists. Take notes and call them out as they create new inconsistencies.Our final caller is Sabien from TX who wants to know if it is fair to judge theists if free will does not exist?
Welcome back to another episode of The Atheist Experience. This week, Kenneth Leonard and JMike take AXP by force!Today's first caller is “Leopold” from Canada who demands that the Atheist Experience apologizes for the harsh statements it has made against the Catholic Church in the past. Either engage with the hosts you are talking to and justify your position or call again after you think it back over.Next is Tim from TN who asks if someone who believes a God exists has the same burden of proof as someone who claims to know a God exists. It comes down to the much finer acceptances of claims. If they both accept that Jesus walked on water, superficial confidence levels aside, the implication itself requires an equal burden of proof from both parties.Up next is Alvin from NC claims that it is probable that the Bible is true. The caller mentions a number of improbable improbabilities and asserts them as evidence for their claim. They then site their webpage, which apparently finds mathematic patterns in random bible verses, as a source of evidence that the bible was intelligently woven together by math.Mr. Warlight returns from earlier to define spirituality and explain why it's important to have more of it. Just because something can't be disproven, especially something we have no track record for its existence, doesn't mean that it would be justified to accept it as a possibility.Next is Apollos from TX who claims that Atheists are inconsistent when evaluating arguments for the brain in a vat compared to arguments for Jesus' resurrection.

Underwater mountains and amazing sealife off the coast of B.C. This octopus, Graneledone boreopacifica, was found hanging onto a rock. (Ocean Exploration Trust, Northeast Pacific Seamount Expedition Partners) Canadian scientists discovered ancient and fragile coral forests and potentially new species during an expedition to explore deep-sea mountains off the coast of British Columbia. Now they say these “spectacular” sea wonders should be permanently protected. The expedition team included four groups, with members from the Haida Nation, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Oceana Canada, and Ocean Networks Canada. They set sail earlier this month to explore seamounts (underwater mountains) near the islands of Haida Gwaii in the northeast Pacific Ocean. window.jQuery || document.write('
