Their baramin research leads the world. :-) Searching their physics faculty: Timo Budarz Dr Physical Health Purdue West Lafayette; David Dinsmore MS Berkeley; Amy Drambi MS Indiana South Bend; Timothy Marshall MS VCU; Evangelos Skoumbourdis 2 MS degrees. So for the faculty listed as teaching Physics, no PhDs in Physics.

2024-01-22 02:24:44 +0000 UTCThe first time I heard this ad I kept waiting to hear the announcer say "and now you know The Rest Of The Story" followed by an ad for Ester-C. Fun fact, back when I was a retail pharmacist I would listen to Paul Harvey so I knew what to keep in stock for the old folks that took his word as biblical truth. Ester-C, Blue Emu, Castor Oil...I was way ahead of the curve 😂

2024-01-20 02:23:45 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite recent diatribes. I did my Ph.D. in religion and politics and could never explain my academic interest in the topic as well as Noah did.

2024-01-19 20:11:18 +0000 UTCI’m 60 and I was totally disappointed when I first tasted Turkish Delight after reading Narnia.

2024-01-19 05:17:05 +0000 UTCI stand in solidarity with Edmund and his love of Turkish Delight.

2024-01-19 01:45:44 +0000 UTCI still love the Narnia books, despite all the things. It’s HARD.

2024-01-18 21:24:59 +0000 UTCOhh, I’m so excited. My parents made me read Mere Christianity as a kid, I’m very much looking forward to these reviews.

2024-01-18 17:10:45 +0000 UTCThe voice in the Trump video is an AI version of a very famous announcer from the last century named Paul Harvey. Only Seth Andrews comes close.

2024-01-18 16:53:13 +0000 UTCThis is amazing. Liberty U keeps trying to get me to apply for their physics and/or graduate program because of my BS in Astrophysics from TWENTY YEARS AGO. Do they actually science at Liberty U?

2024-01-18 15:54:09 +0000 UTCWhat’s annoying about this is when I was a kid (and thus didn’t know any better) I actually loved the Narnia books, so hearing the guys bitch about it is a bit painful, stabs right to the childhood you know?

2024-01-18 15:29:42 +0000 UTCWhen you did the extra story about Vivek answering a question from an atheist, all I could think of was Bradley Whitford in Billy Madison saying, "The thing about ethics....."
