Macrophage finds out whether God knows what he would have done had he been an amoeba instead by critically analyzing the alternate feasible world where Nick Donald's has an ice cream machine that always works.

Macrophage talks with scientist Randy Hernandez about ancient historical records and the age of the earth, theistic evolution and "random" mutations, his research on Alzheimer's and dementia, and how it's okay to murder untold thousands of adorable mice as long as you feel bad about it.

Macrophage lazily rips the audio from a couple of Youtube videos from several months ago to generate fresh content...depending on your definition of "fresh." Gavin Ortlund did a couple videos criticizing YEC, and fun was had by all. Also included in the links are a few subsequent videos in the potentially ongoing saga.

Is Islam a religion of peace? Are Islamic terrorists radically departing from mainstream Islamic theology? As always, Macrophage tells the truth nobody wants to hear.

He recorded this shortly after the October 7th terrorist attacks in Israel.

1. Ben Shapiro's Ep. 1826 Why I'm Showing You Hamas' Atrocities.

Macrophage finds a frienemy on Twitter and talks about the design argument, Mackie and Plantinga, and the problem of evil with a weak atheist.

Macrophage wonders about the software modules in his DNA, so he asks the discoverer of the dependency graph of life and troublemaker extraordinaire Winston Ewert.
