How’s This For Proof?

I used to play on a Christian soccer team, not for any philosophical reasons obviously, but more out of convenience and availability, and boredom… I am no longer welcome on that team. But back then, I was involved in a friendly, post-game argument with the team captain over an after-game beer.   So you’ve all [...]

Ricky Gervais Explains Creation

I used to think we evolved from apes; Darwin’s theory of evolution through natural selection seemed pretty watertight. But in doing research for this show, I came across a theory that deviates from Darwin’s. I just found it in a dusty old book in a library – it’s called “The Bible”.
