Once more unto the breach, dear friends. In this episode we jump into the creation-evolution “controversy” and offer up 5 evidences for believing the secular religion of evolution. Why there’s ERVs, fusion of chromosomes, shared pseudogenes, duck dicks, and ancient transitional fossils! Who wouldn’t believe!

Lots of man on man, science on creationist action in this episode where we talk about Bill Nye’s rout of Ken Ham in Kentucky. You might be surprised to know that the Second Law of Thermodynamics also makes an appearance. Great fun!

WARNING! This podcast contains explicit science not suitable for creationists!

In this episode Matt and I go over the history of spontaneous generation, how the idea began and how it fell out of favor. We then go over various myths of creation before proceeding to the Scientism myth of creation: abiogenesis. We take a whirlwind tour through hydrothermal vents, the Krebs Cycle, the iron sulfur world of Günter Wächtershäuser, and about a semester’s worth of high school biology in just a few excruciating minutes.

So strap on those nerd glasses, get your pocket calculators out, and let’s do this thang.

[irrelig]Continuing our hard-hitting inquiry into the nature of Truth with Kirk Hastings as our guide, we cover the following chapters: “Sixteen Additional Problems with Darwinian Evolution,” “What Does Microbiology Indicate?”, “Is the Concept of Intelligent Design Scientific?”, and “Superstition, Philosophy, and Religion.”

Do Kirk’s arguments fare any better than they did in the last episode? Could they possibly fare any worse? Has he gained any scientific understanding at all? Does Chuck answer more of your questions from Facebook?

[irrelig]Surprise! Kirk Hastings’ recent email drew me out of (semi-)retirement. After recovering from those withering electronic insults, I sat down with expert Hovindologist Matt W to review Hastings’ magnum opus, “What Is Truth?” We examined his many and varied claims about truthology, and how they relate to science and most especially “Darwinism.” In this episode — part one of a three-part series — we discuss Kirk’s conversion process and his absolutely unshocking failure to grasp even the basic principles of science and mathematics while he attempts to take down Darwinism. This series could also be entitled, “We read Kirk Hastings’ shitty rehashed creationist screed so you don’t have to.”

Kirk does get an A for effort, though, and should he succeed in his quest to demolish Darwin’s theory of evil-ution, he may ultimately end up with a Nobel Prize. History (or maybe the next episode, where we finish talking about the science portion of his book) will have to render a verdict on that score.

[irrelig]For the final segment discussing Kent Hovind’s paradigm-changing doctoral dissertation, we have brought on professional Hovindologist Matt Wakefield. Matt is an old friend of mine (going back to high school) who was actually one of our first guest interviews, but unfortunately the recorded footage somehow got corrupted (or I never pressed the record button). So here it is: chapter 4 of Hovind’s masterpiece on the nature of time.
