| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Brandon Vat, the content director at Word |
| 0:07.0 | on Fire. Today, as with the last episode, we're doing something a little different, instead |
| 0:12.0 | of having a conversation between Bishop Baron and me, we're instead sharing a talk that |
| 0:16.8 | Bishop Baron recently gave called Against the YouTube Hairses. This talk deals with some |
| 0:22.6 | of the main objections and points of resistance that people have to Christianity today. We shared |
| 0:29.0 | the first half of the talk last week. If you missed that episode, be sure to visit |

| 1:18.5 | deep confusion out there in Internet land. Trust me about the relation between religion |
| 1:24.8 | and science. Again, the Bronze Age mythology comes in here. Why should we believe pre-scientific |
| 1:34.8 | musings? Why would we take any of that seriously from the ancient world? These people didn't even |
| 1:40.5 | know what virus was. They didn't know about atoms and cells and molecules. Why wouldn't |
| 1:46.0 | we take this literature seriously? The problem here is what we call scientism. Let me just |
| 1:58.4 | say right off the bat, the Catholic Church reverences the sciences. Let there be no ambiguity |
| 2:06.6 | about that. The Catholic Church reverences the sciences. The Catholic Church, really, of |
| 2:12.8 | all the great Christian dispensations, is the one that has most consistently reverenced |
