Hosted by ObjectivelyDan, Truth Wanted takes calls from the community (that means YOU!) and features new guests every week, emphasizing thorough conversations over name-calling and scoffing (most of the time).

Join us today on Truth Wanted with ObjectivelyDan and MD Aware! Dive into why humans go to war over photos of aliens on mars and is telecasted as a sporting event to vegans worldwide. Mark with no location is troubled with how humans are the most intelligent animals yet we still engage in war. Animals are capable of both conflict and cooperation and humans are the same. The goal of humanism is to expand the ingroup to include the entire human species while times of hardship bring out the in-group/out-group instincts. People have a long way to go, for instance, we started this show by discussing why beating disabled children is considered to be okay. We still have lots to figure out!Chase in ID wants to talk about the health benefits of a plant based diet such as reduced risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes. There are benefits to a lot of different diets, and we all metabolize things differently. Studies with nutrition are difficult and not like other studies because there are practical aspects of the science that are challenging. There are clear links between cancers and consuming certain kinds of meats. The focus from a health perspective is to have a more varied and balanced diet. What have humans evolved to eat and how does your heritage factor into this? What does a balanced diet really mean? Meat is calorie dense and we have cheap access to it in the U.S. This is one of the reasons why it is so over consumed. We need to come up with solutions for diets that people can do something about. If you reduce your consumption of meat, that is a positive change. Daniel in Canada called to discuss the photos of aliens on Mars that he sent and was hoping the hosts would meet him halfway on how the photos looked lifelike. Do you believe that aliens are a thing and the government is covering it up? What would be the social ramifications of this? Why would vague Neil Armstrong quotes and screenshots be sufficient evidence? Photos looking like aliens are not the same as there being an actual alien on Mars. How can your belief in aliens be falsified? Something being possible is not a reason to believe it is true. Look at all the reasons why you believe this and start trying to disprove it by poking holes in these reasons. Can someone who is an authority in a field still be wrong? Ask yourself what this information is really telling you. William in AR brings up how the pursuit of sports careers are popularized as a way to get out of poverty. This is a marketing problem, however, the bias is also on the consumer end. Sports is just a subcategory of celebrity culture. If it is not sports stars, it is Youtubers or rock stars. Racial stereotypes are played up in sports movies and people make money doing this. The pursuit of a higher education is just not as appealing as being a sexy hot person that everyone wants to be. Thank you for tuning in to our show! Eat a balanced diet on Mars while you consider the question of the week: What is an alpha male?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-wanted--3195473/support.

Truth Wanted 07.17 with ObjectivelyDan and MD Aware 2024-04-26

Title: Talking to God, Evolution/God,  Morality Debates, and Atrocity of Religion.SHOW TIME-STAMPS00:00 Intro16:21 Messages from the Universe-USA | Talking to God35:00 Just Some Guy-Ireland | Evolution disproves God?SHOW NOTESWelcome to Truth Wanted, where all the truthers gather! Tonight, our host Objectively Dan is joined by Michael Wiseman of the Bible Says What?! Messages from God from the USA is our first caller. Ohh boy people! This is a doozy. Messages claims we just choose to hear God and we have to be open to it. And God especially picked her for us to receive this information so we can talk to God. Also, we exist and yet we don’t exist in this dimension. I am trying people, just listen to the call as this show notes writer is struggling. Seriously, both Dan and Michael try and pin down her premise and how she came to the conclusions she has and the message she wants to impart. Buckle up folks!Just Some Guy from the Green Isle gives our hosts a ring to talk about do atheists deny God because of evolution? No, as there are plenty of believers who accept the theory of evolution. Somehow, the conversation shifts to objective vs. subjective morality. The hosts and Just Some Guy get into some interesting philosophical questions and how God doesn’t resolve any of these issues. Last but thankfully not least is Philo-Sophistry from also the USofA calls to discuss the harm of religion, if it does have any benefit, and when do we, as atheists intervene? These are some questions to ponder and worth it to do so. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-wanted--3195473/support.

Truth Wanted 07.16 Truth Wanted 07.16 with ObjectivelyDan and Michael Wiseman  @BSWthepodcast

In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, ObjectivelyDan and Phil Ferguson ponder why we have Mormon Ghosts everywhere after diving into the evolution of ghosts and the existence of Jesus all while digging through an ancient alien purse for evidence. Critical Corrie in the UK has people in his life that thinks ghosts are real and asks the sausages what their take on ghosts are. What are the rules for ghosts? Have you ever noticed that the low quality equipment is always what seems to pick up ghosts? How far back on the evolutionary scale do ghosts appear? Can an amoeba be a ghost? Why do ghosts get to go through walls and not the floor? How does gravity work for ghosts? Tymm in WA has been studying Jesus Mythicism, and asks the hosts what they think about Mark being the creator of Jesus, based on the writings of Paul. The probability of Jesus being a real person is equivalent to that of Hercules being a real person. Sometimes stories that contain both fact and myth can be cobbled together to make one story. Paul wrote the most about Jesus, and never even met the man. There is more evidence for Joseph Smith existing than Jesus and we all know what he was about. If you are an Ex-Mormon, please call in!Ransom in WY says that it looks like there is synchronicity between video games and movies and then asks about the Alien Purse. The synchronicity is market demands and due to trends within general fascination. What is your explanation for this ancient handbag? What would the effects be if aliens have visited and been conquered by us in history? If you look through enough artworks, you can find things that mean whatever you want them to mean. We appreciate this call and taking us on this journey. Thank you for tuning in this week, ghosts! Question of the week is, what is the worst advice you have ever been given?

Truth Wanted 07.14 with Jamie the Blind Limey and Jason Sherwood

01:05 Intro17:45 Emily-New England | The Outlaws Pass42:54 Critical Corey-UK | England vs. American Beliefs50:25 Daniel-Canada | Alien Proof in Photos!SHOW NOTESIn today’s episode of Truth Wanted, our hosts with the most  are Objectively Dan & Jim Barrows.. Our first caller is from Emily in New England who wants to discuss the hikers of the Outlaws Pass. Please give this a Google as this show notes the writer doesn’t have the character count. More Importantly, Emily discusses why she wants to believe in the conspiracy of this event vs.  investigating the possible truth. Dan explains we all have these needs to find a more exciting explanation rather than the real world reality of certain events. Emily does come to the conclusion that there was nothing out of the ordinary of the event, but still likes the thought experiments of the conspiracy theories. Deconstruction is an ongoing process, not just with religion, but any magical thinking ideas.Our next call from across the pond is from Corey. He wants to talk about the beliefs and the differences between the United States vs. the UK. It is a curious discussion between similar ideas, but in different cultures. It’s a curious conversation about identity, belief, and cultural experiences. Welcome to call #3 from Daniel from Canada who has come with proof! Proof I tell you of aliens. Are the pictures blurry? Yes. Is this absolute proof? No. Is it pareidolia? Probably. But, it’s a fun call! Call Truth Wanted!  7:00-8 :30PM CT at 1-512-991-9242or call with your computer
