    Episode 156 - A lesson in fact checking

    Episode 156 - A lesson in fact checking This short episode is going to be a lesson in fact checking. Fact checking takes time and, personally, I enjoy doing it, it helps my critical thinking stay sharp and I usually learn something on the way. It is genuinely satisfying to get to a result, even if I already knew what the result would be. Fact checking is also important because it helps us to validate things that we have been told. Fact checking should be considered the twin sister of skepticism, because being skeptical should also mean being prepared to put in effort to check the things we want (or don't want) to believe. 1) Five Mere Christians https://www.jordanraynor.com/five-mere-christians https://somersetuk.borrowbox.com/product/DRA_6616304/title/five-mere-christians https://www.eden.co.uk/christian-books/the-church/christian-leadership/five-mere-christians-9780736991704/ 2) Hannah More https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_More https://www.hannahmoreletters.org/hannah-more/biography 3) the Hannah more quote - page 301 "We saw but one Bible in all the parish, and that was used to prop a flower-pot." https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Memoirs_of_the_Life_and_Correspondence_o/eeUDFO5UJVgC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=hannah+more&printsec=frontcover 4) a secondary source - suggests Cheddar https://www.thomasgenweb.com/shipham_history_p146_147.jpg 5) Text of Charlotte M.

    Episode 153 - Matthew reacts to J Warner Wallace reacting to TikTok atheists

    J Warner Wallace reacts to TikTok atheists. Because we all know they are the worst! For those that might not know, J Warner Wallace makes a big thing of his credentials as a cold case detective and he makes a big thing out of using his cold case methodologies for validating the existence of his god. We at Still Unbelievable!, along with many other atheists, are not impressed by his reasoning. Here we will respond to his responses to atheists so that we can explain why he does not impress. As usual, the link the original episode being responded to is link 1 in the show notes.
