Hello again Truth Wanters! This week, Erin is joined by Rion of TikTok fame, host of Skeptic Haven and owner of many plants! Erin and Rion talk about their deconversion process before we move on to your calls.

This week’s Patron of the Week is Maxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxwell Carlisle! You wanted the X emphasized Max, careful what you wish for! May a thousand bad Vin Diesel movies haunt your dreams!

First up is Mr. Enigma, who’s emerged from under his bridge to ask a series of silly questions. Dogs, genies, spirits… perhaps too much of another kind of spirits are involved here? Erin tries to parse this caller and his claims of a visit to heaven, but we’re not getting anywhere. Cool story bro.

Next is Thomas, who thinks dried up rivers caused by climate change are evidence of the truth of Biblical prophecy. Our hosts point out that lots of rivers go dry, and counting the hits while ignoring the misses is a terrible road to truth. Thomas throws out a few weak examples of prophecy correlating to reality, but let’s face it, make enough predictions and a few are bound to pan out. We’re not convinced.

Jamie’s in Texas, and he’s fed up with the constant failed prophecies of the end times. Human hardships are pretty damned common, and connecting the yarn to the latest pushpin doesn’t prove a thing. Both our hosts agree that correlation isn’t causation, and calamity is a recurrent part of our experience here on Earth.

Finally it’s Lake, he’s wondering about the plum pudding model of atomic composition, and how our modern understanding is more analogous to the structure of our solar system. Our hosts agree that lots of things in nature look alike, but similitude doesn’t equate to divinity

That’s a wrap for this week folks, we’ll see you next time!
