I'd like to give our theist call as the benefit of the doubt, but I can't.

0:04.8

Be it evolution, consciousness, the origins of the cosmos, any phenomena that we have,

0:12.4

good naturalist explanations for plenty of evidence behind.

0:17.2

I'm so, so tired of it always boiling down too.

0:21.5

I don't understand this, therefore it must be God.

0:25.2

Your personal incredulity is causing you to commit the God of the Gaps fallacy,

0:30.0

and more than that, you're making gaps to shove your God into.

0:34.9

God has never been in those gaps, ever. But if you disagree, call the show. Let's start now.
