An angel is generally a supernatural being found in various religions and mythologies. Abrahamic religions often depict angels as benevolent celestial beings who act as intermediaries between God (or Heaven) and humanity. Other roles of angels include protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out tasks on behalf of God.But are angels for real, or just a psychological manifestation of the temporal lobe of the human brain known as the “Third Man” effect, as some researchers are beginning to think? That’s what we set out to uncover in this episode.Support this show on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/isthatforrealListen to the podcast of this show at:https://isthatforreal.podbean.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/is-that-for-real/id1497389586Join our Facebook group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/524460561439197/The _Is That For Real?_ logo was designed by Kawaii Pigeon.

More than 2 billion people in the world call themselves Christians. Many pray, go to Church and trust that the stories told about a man named Jesus two thousand years ago accurately describe the life of their lord and savior.But did Jesus ever really exist, or was he just the brilliant fictional creation of a group of men looking to start a new religion? That’s what we set out to uncover in this episode.Support this show on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/isthatforrealListen to the podcast of this show at:https://isthatforreal.podbean.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/is-that-for-real/id1497389586Join our Facebook group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/524460561439197/The _Is That For Real?_ logo was designed by Kawaii Pigeon.

The United States' Apollo 11 was the first crewed mission to land on the Moon, on 20 July 1969. There were six crewed U.S. landings between 1969 and 1972, and numerous uncrewed landings, with no soft landings happening between 22 August 1976 and 14 December 2013.But not everyone believes humanity has ever set foot on the moon, with between 5 and 20% of Americans think the moon landing was a hoax. Conspiracists point to film and photo evidence, among other things, to prove that it simply did not -- and could not -- have happened. So did NASA really land a crew on the moon? That’s what we set out to uncover in this episode.Support this show on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/isthatforrealWatch the videos on YouTube:https://youtube.com/c/isthatforrealListen to the podcast of this show at:https://isthatforreal.podbean.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/is-that-for-real/id1497389586Join our Facebook group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/524460561439197/The _Is That For Real?_ logo was designed by Kawaii Pigeon.

Members of the Flat Earth Society claim to believe the Earth is flat. Walking around on the planet's surface, it looks and feels flat, so they deem all evidence to the contrary, such as satellite photos of Earth as a sphere, to be fabrications of a "round Earth conspiracy" orchestrated by NASA and other government agencies.The belief that the Earth is flat has been described as the ultimate conspiracy theory. According to the Flat Earth Society's leadership, its ranks have grown by 200 people (mostly Americans and Britons) per year since 2009. But is the Flat Earth for real, or just an intellectual exercise practiced by contrarian people with a bit of math and science under their belt. That’s what we set out to uncover in this episode.Support this show on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/isthatforrealWatch the videos on YouTube:https://youtube.com/c/isthatforrealListen to the podcast of this show at:https://isthatforreal.podbean.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/is-that-for-real/id1497389586Join our Facebook group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/524460561439197/The _Is That For Real?_ logo was designed by Kawaii Pigeon.

The theory of evolution states that through small, incremental changes over time, life arose on earth -- at first simple, and gradually more complex. This process of natural selection enabled dinosaurs to become birds and -- more controversially -- simple primates to evolve into human beings.But is it really possible for life to arise from non-living matter? And if it did, was it possible for simple organisms swimming in a pool of early chemicals to eventually crawl out onto land, morphing over time into the vast diversity of life and civilization we see on earth today? That’s what we set out to uncover in this episode.Smithsonian Site: http://humanorigins.si.edu/James Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4sP1E1Jd_YBe sure to catch next week's very special episode where Diasiss interviews American author, speaker and atheist activist Aron Ra!Support this show on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/isthatforrealWatch the videos on YouTube:https://youtube.com/c/isthatforrealListen to the podcast of this show at:https://isthatforreal.podbean.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/is-that-for-real/id1497389586Join our Facebook group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/524460561439197/The _Is That For Real?_ logo was designed by Kawaii Pigeon.

Faith has been used as medicine for thousands of years by countless people in virtually every society on earth. Reports of restored hearing, vision, health and even the resurrection of the dead spurs the growth of religion even in the modern age.In recent years the phenomena of faith healing has been examined by numerous studies, with mixed results. So are the adherents of these Charismatic religions really being healed, or is it just psychosomatic?

Everyone wants to know what the future holds, and some seek to learn what that path will be through divination. Tarot card readings are one form of divination that is well known in the West, and yet very young compared to other spiritual practices.In fact, tarot card reading was added to the cannon of occult practice only a few hundred years ago, making it a mere toddler in comparison to other ancient practices such as astrology. But can a gifted reader really tell you what your future might be, or what to watch out for along the path, merely by pulling cards from a divine deck?

For thousands of years, reports have been made of strange sightings in the sky. Fiery discs and phantom ships seen long before airplanes or spacecraft were even dreamed of. Silver shapes battling and unexpected comets appearing above a city and disappearing after a few hours.In more modern times, such sightings have been dismissed as weather balloons, geese and other very terrestrial phenomena by skeptics and scientists. So were they really UFOs, or were people just using their imagination and limited understanding to explain the unknown? That’s what we set out to uncover in this episode.List of UFO sightings from Wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reported_UFO_sightingsSupport this show on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/isthatforrealWatch the videos on YouTube:https://youtube.com/c/isthatforrealListen to the podcast of this show at:https://isthatforreal.podbean.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/is-that-for-real/id1497389586Join our Facebook group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/524460561439197/The _Is That For Real?_ logo was designed by Kawaii Pigeon.
