    Love it. Less flat earth. More atheist v. Christian please. 🙏

    Update: If A. Wilson is a “Christian”, then no wonder people can’t stand them. A.W. sounds about as wicked as his OT “god”.

Evolution on Trial | @MadebyJimbob Vs @AxiomaticReasoning
Q: Is evolution a scientific theory that passes through the scientific method?
The host presses the guest to clarify whether evolution meets strict methodological criteria, while the guest contends that the broader scientific process and accumulated evidence support evolution despite debates about strict method, leading to a nuanced but inconclusive exchange.

Q: Hebrews 1, 8 and 9 — is that a verse using Psalms to display that Jesus is the Messiah?
