| 0:00.0 | You're listening to, atheistically speaking. The Hello and I'm welcome to atheistically speaking this is episode 242 and I am your slightly under the weather host Thomas Smith |
| 0:37.2 | All right bit of a change of pace for you guys on this |
| 0:43.0 | I love finding interesting unique topics and this one certainly was that I had a listener email me |
| 0:46.0 | asking and talking about girdles incompleteness theorem and the implications it had for God and all this I was fascinated by it and we |
| 0:55.1 | ended up having a discussion about girdle and Einstein's views on religion |
| 0:59.3 | quantum physics and the implications on religion and |
| 1:03.4 | and Kurt the person I'm about to talk to here |
| 1:06.4 | is in a place that I wonder if maybe some others of you are in where he |
| 1:11.2 | doesn't want to call himself an atheist really and it's funny |
| 1:14.1 | because we have a bit of a debate about it and can be a little frustrating at times |
| 1:18.2 | I think there's some resistance maybe due to upbringing and all that. |
| 1:23.0 | But I hope you like what you hear. |

| 1:58.6 | well you know here in Michigan we have our great lakes so it's my fear that your water runs out and |
| 2:04.8 | you steal mine. See we should have thought of that we should have had like some great |
| 2:07.9 | lakes I don't know why we didn't you know in California when when the gold rush |
| 2:12.2 | happened they should have built some great lakes like you guys did that's what you did right? |
| 2:15.8 | Well pretty sure that's how it worked. I think what's going to happen is we'll channel it into your aquifer right and then you pull it back up and then you build your almond fields and just |
| 2:25.1 | blooded it. |
