Good evening, Truth Seekers! Tonight, ObjectivelyDan is joined by our special guest, Jmike. Jmike is a co-host on The Atheist Roundtable and has a new channel, Axioms On Trial!
First caller tonight, John in the USA asks what our objections are to libertarian free will. If you affect our physical brain it will change how we act. Free will, even if we had it, wouldn’t be good evidence for god, or even a soul. Is the soul not something we can observe?
Sven in WA asks if skepticism would lead to conformity the way religion doctrine does? We do see a culture that develops when one is around a group of like minded people, it’s true for any social group. Skeptics seem to be more open to addressing failures in how we think as a social species.
Ceafe in the USA argues that claiming a soul is supernatural is an evasion, since we can’t demonstrate the supernatural. You can’t say the soul exists and does something in the natural world by claiming it's supernatural, supernatural has no explanatory power.
Edward in Canada asks how we know god isn’t deceiving us to make us not believe. One couldn’t know, we are stuck in the confines of our reality. Give us the evidence a god is deceiving us, Neo didn’t know he was in the matrix until he was provided evidence.
Doug in ID asks why people are more concerned about freedoms than protecting people during this pandemic. It’s sad how “pro-life” people don’t seem to care about the life of living people. People do change their minds, it’s not the end...yet.
Kevin in CA asks if it’s probable that highly technological life is out there? It’s possible... Jmike takes a more agnostic view of alien life. Alien stories starting with drugs are hard to take on face value, sorry.
Lastly, Denis in AZ wasted our time with a prank about UFOs and a tool he brought back from an abduction. Ugh, we were interested in this call...too bad it was a prank caller.
That's all the Truth for this week! Stay safe and make sure to check out more from Jmike at
