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

Hey there, folks. As you know, I have a book coming out very soon.

It's called Is Atheism Dead?

I'm pressuring all my friends and non-friends to pre-order a copy, whether at Amazon or

Ericmetaxis.com.

It helps a book if there are a lot of pre-orders.

So I'm begging you because, as you know, I've been canceled quite a bit.

It's tough to speak to people when you've been so canceled, when YouTube has canceled your show.

But I want to say, I think I've said it before in this program, but I'll say it now.

One of the reasons I wrote this book has to do with the man who is my guest right now.

His name is Dr. James Tour.

He is a nanoscientist at Rice University in Houston.

He and I got to know each other, and he started talking to me about the idea of life supposedly emerging from non-life.

And the more I got to know about the subject and the more I got to know Dr. Tour, the more I

thought it is wild that no one ever talks about this. This is a major apologetic

for the existence of God or something like that. I also met a man in Albuquerque, Dr. Stephen Collins,

who told me about the discovery of biblical Sodom. That was equally astonishing in the archaeological sphere, and I thought,

why doesn't anyone know about this? So those two gentlemen now friends are at the center of

what I talk about in my book, and I thought it would be fun actually to get Dr. Tour on the program,

and you know what happened, don't you?

We got them.

Dr. Tour, welcome.
