Customer Reviews
Episode #92 Only.
I normally love your show. I do not appreciate people try to reconstruct history and apologize for religion without any pushback for all the harm its caused. religion cannot be reconciled with science. They operate in completely different ways.Science requires evidence religion requires faith. Religion is not falsifiable and you can’t prove a negative. Persia had some of the most advanced technology of its day until Muhammad came along and destroyed it and suppressed curiosity. The last thing we need is more academics reconstructing history to validate their watered-down modernized religious ideologies.
This woman is wrong and shame on you as a for giving her a platform without pushing back.
Other than this, I do love your show and would give it five stars for all the other episodes. This episode just upset me so much I had to say something.
Trust the science
My type of pod with excellent dialogue exploring reason and rationality of topical subjects. Well done.
Entertaining
Ben does a great job asking and listening to answers. He covers a wide variety of subjects, which is a huge plus for me.
