It is Thursday the 28th of July 2011 and you're listening to Skeptics with a K, the

podcast for science reason and critical thinking. Skeptics with a K is a production of the

Merseys Skeptics Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of scientific skepticism on Merseys around the UK and internationally.

I am your host, Mike Hall, with me today is Marsh.

Hello.

And Colin. Hello. So we're going to open with an email. We are.

We received an email from The Skeptics Testament podcast. Nicholas at the Skeptics Testament Podcast, wrote to us and he said, he wrote him with the usual,

he's a big fan of the show, which gets our attention, straight away first off.

I'm a big fan of the show as well.

But Nicholas wrote in to complain about a comment that we'd made in a previous episode where we'd referred to the revelation to John, or commonly known as the book of revelation or revelations sometimes, which is not correct either.

We'd made a comment that it was written by a guy on an acid trip,

which I think was your comment actually.

It probably was.

He says the long and short of it is that there is simply zero

evidence supporting such a description. He is right. He's entirely right about

that there is zero evidence. Zero evidence that John was taking LSD at the time.

Yes.

And he put a rebuttal to our comment up on their show,

the Skeptic Testament, and asked us to address their criticism on the show.

So Colin, we tasked you with listening to episode 33 of the Skeptic Testament to find

out what their views were.

Yeah, I did listen to it and it was a very interesting, well, six-decid episode.
