I'm Dom Betanelli, and I'm joined today by Jimmy Aiken.

Hi, Jimmy.

Howdy, Dom?

This is a special bonus episode that we were recorded to thank our patrons at patreon.com slash

StarQuest or their generosity in making this and all our shows at StarQuest possible.

We gave them early exclusive access, but now we're sharing it with you to show you one of the benefits of being a patron.

Jimmy, what kind of questions are we going to be answering today?

Well, we're going to be talking about things like the Magi's Star in Matthew's Gospel, where Mary went after Pentecost,

did Jesus work miracles privately before his public ministry? What would happen with original sin

if only Eve had fallen? Why Jesus used bread instead of lamb for the Eucharist?

Do smartphones affect precognitive abilities?

A trolley problem variant based on belief-based evidence.

How a timeless God makes choices.

Considering the church scientifically as a living organism.

And does more people mean less demonic influence per person and more?

Very good.

Folks, please enjoy the show.
