SHOW NOTES
Greetings Heathens, it’s Palindrome day! The only day in the current century that’s a palindrome in both date formats (Day-Month-Year or Month-Day-Year.) In today’s episode of Talk Heathen, Eric Murphy is joined by Vi La Bianca. By the way, Eric and Vi are not palindromes.

Let’s get to calls. The first caller is Jonathan from Massachusetts. He posits that Jesus existed and scholars agree the events of the Bible actually historically occurred. Oooooh, this is a fun one, tune in to hear Vi and Eric unpack this suitcase.

Next up, David from Ottowa would like to learn how to deal with presuppositionalists. He is being faced with some online and isn’t sure how to approach them. You can talk to people and be respectful. We were put on hold, that’s a first!

The following caller named Oriax from Pennsylvania is a polytheist and believes due to personal experiences. Listen in to hear Eric and Vi try to get to the truth and help them through it..

The next caller in the queue is Tracy from North Carolina wanting to discuss how she and others experienced unexplainable events and is struggling with not pinning it onto the supernatural. Listen in to hear Eric and Vi help her

Next up, John in Michigan called in to talk about the fleecing of the US through the misuse of funding and uses the Ark Encounter as an example. He’s a theist and agrees with us. You’re good John! We like you! Call back anytime!

Afterwards we have Dean from North Carolina. He wonders about the anonymity of the Gospels and whether they are considered anonymous historical documents when other anonymous writers are given more credit to their writing. Listen in to hear Vi expand on this beautifully.

Our last caller of the day, Jeff in Pennsylvania would like to discuss abiogenesis and how it hasn’t been scientifically proven. Listen in to hear Eric and Vi talk about their understanding of abiogenesis and debunk some of the caller’s interesting ideas.
