Summary

Questions Covered: 02:30 – In Genesis, the Lord told the serpent he would have to crawl on his belly and eat dirt. Did the serpent die, or is it still around? Did its descendants have to eat dust too? Are they still around? 06:48 – How would a Catholic time lord know when to go to mass to fulfill the Sunday obligation? Are all the incarnations of the Doctor married to River Song, or just the eleventh doctor? Given that they both time traveled separately and could conceivably encounter each other at any point in time and space, at what point would he be considered a widower? 12:59 – Jimmy Akin, how do you store information in your brain? Do you have a photographic memory? Have you been partially assimilated or turned into a cyber man, allowing you to call to mind detailed information at will? How exactly do you store the plethora of the facts and data that you keep in your head? 28:43 – A news story described a couple that discovered they were not legally married because—after the service was performed—the marriage license was not sent to the proper civil department, so they needed to have a new civil wedding. Question 1 If this happens with a Catholic Wedding would anything need to be done when fixing the civil side? Question 2 What if there is clerical error with a Catholic Wedding and the need notation is NOT made in the church (baptism) records how would it be fixed? 33:08 – If Jesus died once and for all and rose from the dead, if there are other planets that support life created in His image and likeness, how did we get so lucky that it all happened on our planet? Or do we need to spread the good news to all the ends of the universe too? 35:10 – What would have happened if just Eve had eaten the apple and not Adam or vice versa? 38:54 – A woman gets married then transported back in time 400-ish years. Thinking she’ll never make it back to her own time, and because she needs to be married for protection, she gets married, despite the fact she was married in her original time. Is the new marriage valid? 44:58 – Deja Vu. What is it? Why does it happen? …

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Cappance's Live. When you hear that music on a Friday, you know
0:21.4	we're going to have some fun because that's the Weird Questions music and Weird Questions
0:27.1	with Jimmy Aiken is what we are doing today. Jimmy Aiken will be with us both hours. So I'm going
0:31.2	to be tempted to but I'm going to try not to give out the phone number because we take the Weird
0:34.4	Questions via the internet so people tweet them or text them or put them on Facebook or however
0:42.1	you might get them to us via the internet they get to Jimmy and Jimmy collects them up and we have
0:46.5	fun reading them and finding out the answers. Jimmy Aiken of course is senior apologist here at
0:50.8	Catholic Answers and the proprietor of Jimmy Aiken's mysterious world. Thanks for coming back for
0:56.0	a second day in a row Jimmy. Hey my pleasure, Cyclott. We got some good weirdness coming up. Yeah,
1:01.5	sure. That is good. That is good. Do you put a call out for these or do people these are just
1:07.3	collected over time? Yeah. Sometimes occasionally I will but people also send them in. If people are
1:12.8	interested in sending in weird questions they can email them to radioatcatholic.com and they'll
1:18.2	get forwarded to me. They just need to flag them as a weird question. Now here's something I've never
1:23.7	asked you before but has a weird question ever struck you as so interesting that you made it an
1:28.8	episode of Jimmy Aiken's mysterious world? No. No. I do include weird questions on mysterious world
1:37.9	but I haven't ever based a whole episode on one not that I'm remembering anyway. And today's
1:42.8	episode this morning's episode on Jimmy Aiken's mysterious world was the Versailles time slip. It was
1:48.5	an event in 1901 where two women who were visiting Versailles France appeared to slip back in time
1:54.5	to the 1700s. Like Christopher Reeve in that movie. I haven't seen that movie. Whatever it is.
2:04.8	He slips back in time and then he spent some time back there in the past and then in the future
2:10.7	I can't remember. I think he has a coin in his pocket from the past when he gets back. I can't
2:15.7	remember something like that a long time ago. Okay so we got lots and lots of weird questions
	...
