You're listening to episode 253 of Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World,

where we look at mysteries from the twin perspectives of faith and reason.

In this episode, Jimmy will be answering listener's weird questions.

I'm Dom Betanelli and joining me today is Jimmy Akin. Hey Jimmy, howdy Dom.

Folks, we usually bring you a special weird questions episodes on any 5th Friday of the month,

but since the most recent 5th Friday was last week,

was also our April Fool's episode, we're bringing you another episode of Weird Questions with Jimmy

and Cyclot of Catholic Answers Live this week. Jimmy, what weird questions are you answering this time?

We're going to be talking about are there conditions in which the Eucharist would display

characteristics of a human being that is a rational animal? Does time travel interfere with God's

plan? Would saving someone in the past create a new timeline in which the person had a new soul?

Could someone on a planet 2000 light years away use a sufficiently powerful telescope to watch

Jesus walking and teaching? Will the answers to every curiosity we have be available to us in heaven?

What do I think of the origin of coal and the great flood? Is it okay to watch ghost hunting shows

for entertainment? What would have to be changed in the apocalyptic left behind series to bring it

in line with Catholic teaching? If you become a vampire, could you commit suicide to protect others?

And how long or how would the liturgical calendars of planets with longer or shorter years work?

Those are indeed some interesting questions, so let's listen to your answers.

Thank you. I'm Sy Kelly, your host and join the special music we have for Weird Questions with Jimmy
