Questions Covered:

03:13 – Is prayer similar to telepathy? Do the saints in heaven communicate telepathically?
17:00 – Human beings have no memory of their time as infants or their time while in the womb. Is it possible that during these times, God has the ability to communicate with human beings, and they can understand and respond? Or if certain things about our lives were revealed to us, but once we cross a certain threshold in time or development, we can no longer remember these things?
23:11 – If you could go back in time to any time period. What event would you try to change the outcome of and how would you do it? (Assuming that changing the past is possible).
40:39 – Do Daleks have souls?
45:55 – If we assume ghosts are real, why would they even exist? Why would God allow a soul to stay on Earth? Doesn’t that go against everything Christ taught about what happens when humans die? How can one reconcile the Christian afterlife with ghosts?
53:30 – Do you go clockwise or counterclockwise when praying the rosary?
