Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour One.

Hello, America. Welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The Eric Erickson Show across the nation.

The phone number, 873-725. I forget the lady who emailed me this morning,

but she says, I kind of like it when you give out the number, but don't actually take phone calls.

We'll see. We've got to begin with a big word and stuff, but just a milestone note, if you'll allow.

You have to.

We're in the new office.

We're broadcasting from the new office today for the first time.

If you see any show videos and stuff, you'll actually see behind me the window.

I can see the traffic moving behind me and the camera recording.

We still got some logistics to work out on sound and lighting and video and stuff. But Philip, who started working

for me out of college, this is his first day in an office ever to work. And for me, it's

been about 20 years since I've actually been regularly working in an office. And it's kind

of nice. I'm in the building where I practice law,

so it feels somewhat like a homecoming. Now, to begin, we got to talk unfortunately about the

tragedy in Memphis. I want to introduce you to a big word. I've used this word before,

but it's a word you need to understand and process.

And it's called cosmogony.

You know, it's from Greek, you know, Cosmosis, the universe.

Cosmonaut was the Soviet astronaut.

Cosmogony is the theory of the creation of everything. One of the most famous cosmogynies is found in Genesis 1.

It's Moses, a prince of Egypt, telling essentially the Egyptian world that they were wrong.
