Coming to you live from the internet? Yeah, it's the answers, even though he may not understand, he'll talk anyway.

We have problems. He won't solve them, but he'll talk, talking till it's blue in the face. Science, faith,

and life. Ask Science Mike.

Welcome to Ask Science Mike, the weekly podcast where I answer your questions about science, faith, and life.

And we're doing something a little different this week.

This is an in-studio version in front of a live internet audience who will be asking the question.

These are my patrons for Ask Science Mike and the Litterges Podcast, who will be giving completely unscreen questions so my answers are

un-rehearsed if in doubt use Google to fact-check me this week. It should be fun

I don't know how it's going to go. Hopefully we'll have a good time.

But whatever we do, let's do a podcast and get it started. I'll be on the road really soon and I'd like to see you I travel into events

and I've got a lot coming up May 25th the liturgist gathering is coming to Austin, Texas. Finally,

the liturgist gathering in the southeast. Well, Texas. We'd love to see you there, May 25th,

there still tickets available.

June 7th, I'm going to be in Vancouver, Canada with Hillary McBride for an event

called Radical Inclusion that I'm very excited about.

July 27th, I'll be at the Skylight Festival with a bunch of really

cool people in the Toronto area. And then October 5th, the liturgis gathering is going to London, so crossing the Atlantic for a Eurozone party with the liturgist.

So if any of those sound interesting to you, head to Ask Science Mike science mic and click the events button and I'd love to see you there.

In my foolish rule-bound youth, which is about three years ago, I never swore to give you an idea of what this

means. I gave birth after more than 20 hours of

labor without swearing. Wow. And then deconstruction, it occurred to me that the line between the God ordained and the human constructed might be rather more porous than I had originally thought.

And so, naturally I began to God fucking damn it all it to hell more.
