Why do we care and how does this prove theism is real? And he doesn’t think carbon dating is an acceptable way to gauge age. And doesn’t think it's necessary to cite sources. This is a fun call.Jamie in Wisconsin, is curious about DNA and how it can be encoded or programs our brain development. Dr. Ray attempts to set him straight with facts!Jacob in California wants to clear up a couple things from his previous call and wanted to call about the Atheist confirmation bias.

She is hopeful we can help her with this fear and how to work through it.Michael in Maryland would like to talk about being an anti-theist and how he is trying to not incite anger with his stance on religion.
