Okay, here we got. Stand by. Three, two, one.

The thinking atheist, it's not a person. It's a symbol. An idea.

The population of atheists in this country is going through the room.

Rejecting faith. Pursuing knowledge. Challenging the sacred.

If I tell the truth, it's because I tell the truth.

Not because I put my hand on a book and made a wish.

And working together for a more rational world.

Take the risk of thinking for yourself.

Much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way.

Assume nothing.

Question everything. and start thinking.

This is the Thinking Atheist podcast, hosted by Seth Andrews.

There is video of the conversation you are about to hear with my special guest, Dave Farina.

Dave has a BA in chemistry from Charlton College.

He has an MA in science education from California State University, Northridge. He taught chemistry in classrooms

for a long time until he turned his attention pretty much to full-time online science,

communication, and education. And he runs the Professor Dave Explains YouTube channel,

which is linked in the description box. With a country on fire

and science under attack, I thought it would be a good idea to speak to yet another science

educator on the show today. Here we go. Today I'm going to talk to a friend and science educator who has strong opinions about the

anti-science that is infecting like a cancer, not just the United States, but the world.

Dave Horina, glad to see you again, man.
