In this chapter, we go over how the Catholic Church controlled what visions were true and what weren't true. We also talk about the fallibility of human beings in regard to our memory.

Yes! You read that right! This episode is the same title as the book! In this chapter, Carl Sagan dives into the relation between Demons, Witches, and Aliens. We discuss the unfortunate witch trials of the middle ages and how it ties into all of the "Alien abduction" stories.

In this episode, we will be diving into the 6th chapter in Carl Sagan's "The Demon Haunted World: Science As A Candle In the Dark". This chapter is all about hallucinations and how it is likely the cause for alien abduction and UFO sighting stories. This was an enjoyable chapter to read and I hope you learn something as I sure did!

In this episode, we dive into Chapter 5: Spoofing and Secrecy. This chapter goes over the Government and Military's involvement with UFOs as well as how conspiracy theorists become emboldened by their mistrust of government. My boy Carl also gives us a history lesson into why hoaxes happen and how Whistle Blowing is really important.

In this episode, we go over the 4th chapter in Carl Sagan's Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark: Aliens. 

Carl Sagan talks about Aliens and UFO's and whether the evidence presented for their existence on Earth holds any weight.

Enjoy! :) 

In this follow on episode (the latter half of my conversation with friends from college) we cover many different topics such as the ongoing pandemic, College, Grad school, Ethics and Cancel Culture. 

Enjoy!

In this episode, I talk to some old college friends about atheism, agnosticism, Carl Sagan (of course!), and other random topics. This episode is more explicit than my usual episodes since it is with friends.

This chapter talks a lot about some Myths about the moon and mars and how humans are fallible in their perceptions.

Covering chapter 2 of The Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in The Dark.

In this chapter we dive into the issue with pseudoscience and how important it is to educate the masses about the scientific method. This one is my first go at being a little less scripted. So, I hope it turns out well. I'm still trying to get my poop together :)
