Hey there truth seekers! We here at Truth Wanted hope you are all having a very happy Friday, or Saturday if you live in the future. Today, ObjectivelyDan is joined by Reid Nicewonder!

Our first caller of the evening is Adam from IL who was thrown off by Matt’s definition of Atheism. Atheism is a very broad term that encompasses many different confidence levels when it comes to disbelief in a god. Because definitions are descriptive, the very fact that a person can find one definition of Atheism that says its a positive claim that God does not exist and another that is merely an absence of belief shows the glaring flaw in building an entire argument over specific definitions.

Next up is Keith from FL who is curious about the ethics of street epistemology and if it can be considered manipulative. SE is all about asking questions and having thought provoking conversations while keeping your own beliefs separate from the discussion.

Tom from Ohio wants to know how we and other life can come to exist without God. As we do not have evidence for the supernatural, the null hypothesis for any questions that science asks is natural. The burden of proof is on those claiming the answer was caused by the supernatural or God to demonstrate that they both exist and are capable of accomplishing what is being claimed.

Fourth up is our first ever caller from France! Please give a warm welcome to Gus! The caller is wondering if Reid has advice on how to stay motivated to keep practicing SE especially when having seemingly unproductive conversations or conversations with people who are convinced for less than desirable reasons.

Thank you all so much for watching this week's episode of Truth Wanted! We hope you enjoyed it. Until we see you next time, keep on wanting the truth and questioning every TikTok you come across.
