4. The Bible says, "No one is good except God." It also says "God causes the sun to rise on the ... 'good'", Is this a contradiction? Can people be good?

In this episode, Tim and Eric discuss the following questions:

1. Who was Cain afraid of when God punished him? Who did Cain marry? 

2. Is heaven a real place? 

3. Does Genesis 1 allow for the Gap Theory?

In this episode, Tim and Eric discuss the following questions:- Is it okay to have questions/doubts about God and Christianity?

- Did people make fun of Noah while he was building the Ark because it had never rained before the Flood?

- Do you think that the Pericope Adulterae [the woman caught in adultery] was a part of the original Gospel of John, despite it not being attested in any manuscript until the Codex Bezae in the fifth century CE? If you don't, why should the Gospels be presumed to be accurate, given they've clearly been edited?
