    In regard to Episode 180, “Is Carbon 14 Dating Fake?”, I do not see the method as fake, it is the assumptions. How do we know that the decay rate is constant when Dr Willard Libby himself recognized that the atmosphere itself isn’t in equilibrium? To me, that seems like an inconsistency not to be ignored…

  • Way to ruin an interesting topic. I'm a skeptic and like listening to these kinds of podcasts to pick up some facts and talking points that I can use when discussing with.

I'm not an expert, but I know that if I go in laughing at a person and calling their beliefs stupid and idiotic, that shuts down the conversation.You are not going to educate someone by mocking and laughing at them.... more

    As a skeptic myself, he’s embarrassing to listen to.

    Unless you want to hear from someone who thinks they are way smarter than they actually are, I would check out a different show.
