Welcome to the Eric Mettaxas show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Hey, folks, welcome to Friday.

Friday.

It's Friday on the Eric Mattaxas show. And why wouldn't it be Friday everywhere? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? We're on one planet. I know. Okay, I have a question, Albin. Why? Since it's Friday, yes, sir. Are we, am I going to be talking to Francis Chan shortly? Yes, Francis Chan. Okay. Francis Chan is a big deal. If you haven't heard of him, you're in big trouble. That's number one. Francis Chan is my guest. He and I have become friendly lately, and I think that's going to end in this interview. You want to stay tuned. I'm going to grill him hard. And you should. And I want to remind people that I'm going to be in Seattle today. In fact, I'm on a plane now. Do you know how I know that? I just do. I can't tell you. But while you're listening to this, I believe I'm on a plane. Yeah. I don't feel like I'm on a plane, but I believe I am nonetheless. I hear the wind rushing past. You better close that window, sir. And by the way,

since I'm going to Seattle, it reminds me to remind the audience, if you go to my website,

if you want to find out where I'm speaking, I'm speaking everywhere this fall. It's going to be

crazy. I don't know if I'm going to ever get home again. But my book is coming out. It's called

Is Atheism Dead? I'm asking you to pre-order a copy from anywhere you like. It makes no difference. But please pre-order your copies. People are going to get crazy about this book. I promise you, I can't wait until it comes out because I want to talk about it. There's stuff in here that's going to really shock people. I mean, I promise you, you will have a hard time believing some of the stuff that's in there,

but it's documented. And it's God's, I would say, in time revelation of evidence proving him,

making it much more difficult to believe he doesn't exist. In fact, I argue that believing there is no God has become intellectually untenable. I mean, genuinely, I don't mean that's my subjective call. I mean, it's not tenable. You can say I'm an agnostic. You can doubt the details. But whether there's a God, I think, has become a question that's beyond questioning.

It's just, you know, it's like talking about whether the other is flat. Do we really know if it's round or do we? You know, there's always going to be somebody clinging to the idea that it's not a sphere, but an oblate sphere. We're going to get letters saying, oh, it's oblate. So let me just say this, that the book, I'm going to be speaking about it, but you can find out my speaking schedule at ericmetaxis.com. You should be going there every day anyway to check your blood pressure and things of that nature. Also, we should mention neutromedics. Yeah. Go to nutrometics.com. Use the code Eric and get a whopping discount on all the stuff you need to keep your immune system boosted up the way you ought to.

So I think I mentioned this a couple of days ago.

You know, there's no such thing as a cold and flu season.

There is such thing as a depressed vitamin D season.

You get less sun in the winter.

You get less vitamin D in the winter, which is why you're susceptible to viruses and coals and different things. That's normal. So if you want not to be normal, if you don't want to get colds and viruses and flus and COVID, you want to take vitamin D. And you also want to take zinc and a number of other things.

Go to nutrometics.com.

This is true.

I'm not blown smoke, ladies and gentlemen.

Go to nutrometics.

com and use the code Eric.

And of course, we, because it's Friday, Albin, I kind of thought before we get to Francis, who's no fun, we would have some fun on Friday with Fun Facts Friday. Do you have any Fun Facts Friday stuff? We haven't done in a long time. I'm going to wet your beak with some fun stuff. And by the way, I can't wait to pre-read. This is a family program. I can't wait. You guys need to edit that out. To pre-read your, is atheism dead? I'm champing at the bit. It's not chomping at the bit, you told us. No, you can say chomping, but I think champing is better. Champing at the bit. I just see a horse chomping instead of champing. I don't know what that's all about. Well, they chomp on carrots, but they champ at the bit. There you go. Okay. Now it's all straightened out. Okay, I'm going to start with a,
