0:00.0	Hello and welcome to today's unbelievable with me Justin Briley, meaning truth and love.
0:05.6	Just a few small concepts that we'll be debating on today's show. And going along with this one,
0:11.6	are giving all of today's show over to our conversation. But we will get some of your feedback
0:16.4	in future weeks. Just a heads up though that I'll be doing something special this coming week.
0:21.0	Hosting a live stream Thursday the 26th of August with Christine Covez Dumay, whose book
0:27.7	Jesus and John Wayne has been a runaway success in the US. So a bit more on that later. But you can
0:32.6	be part of that live via our Facebook and YouTube channel this Thursday the 26th of August at 3pm
0:39.8	Eastern time in the US 8pm UK. If you want more from the unbelievable show, go to premiercrisianradio.com,
0:47.1	forward slash unbelievable. And you'll find links there to our newsletter and ways to support

1:37.9	he makes the case for why meaning, value, goodness, truth and love is best explained by God. And then
1:44.0	sort of builds a case for Christianity making sense historically, scientifically, emotionally and
1:49.0	so forth. Well joining me along with Simon today as I've said is Stephen Woodford who hosts the
1:53.2	YouTube channel Rationality Rules. One of the most popular atheist channels in the world, almost
1:57.6	300,000 subscribers at the time of recording at least, dedicated as it says to debunking and
2:03.3	refuting predominantly supernatural arguments. Now Stephen's been on the show a few times over
2:08.9	the years. He's got a fantastic mug to show off as well. And it is great to have him back.
