Very much enjoyed the interview with Evan Sayet. One of the best ever episodes. I look forward to reading his new book.
The only monkeys on trial are those millions plus behind typewriters.
Was hard to get through the whole thing. Dr Egnor was a perfect gentleman but his appointment drones down on and on.
This is par for the course. Just gives one more reason to believe in creation.
Intelligent, likable, courageous.
Keep it up!
