Folks, welcome to the Eric Metaxus show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals.

There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacy p.m. Investments.com. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to listen to a man of grace, sophistication, integrity, and whimsy?

Well, so are we. But until such a man shows up, please welcome Eric Mattexas.

Hey there, folks.

Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show.

Today I'll be playing the role of Eric Mataxis, who is the host of the Eric Mataxis show.

Typically, he interviews guests.

For example, today, he's interviewing Jeremiah Johnson, who lives in Dallas.

Jeremiah, welcome back.

Eric, it's great to see you.

Last time we were together, we were in London, though, weren't we?

We bumped into each other at the British Museum.

Remember that?

I will never forget it.

First of all, the last time I saw you was probably in Nashville more recently.

Yeah, that's true.

I was in London for a few days and I thought I wrote a book called Is Atheism Dead? The middle part of it is all about our... My favorite book of yours, by the way, if I may say. Yes, that book is legit. I love that book. Wow. Well, thank you very much. I mean, it's apologetics, and it's called this. So the first part is faith in science. The second part is archaeology.

And one of the stories that I tell in there is about the black obelisk of Shalmanazar. And I remember

thinking, like, I'm in London. I could actually go see this thing.

I could actually go to it. And I'm going to drag my wife and daughter. I'm going to freak out.

And I'm going to explain it to them. I can't wait to do it. And if you have a copy of my book,

is atheism and dead. Whoever's listening. That chapter, it's an amazing story. It is.
