    WHAT IS TALK HEATHEN?
    Talk Heathen is a weekly call-in television show in Austin, Texas geared toward long-form and on-going dialogue with theists & atheists about religion, theism, & secularism. Talk Heathen is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.
    Talk Heathen is filmed in front of a live studio audience every week at the Freethought Library of the Atheist Community of Austin.
    The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop & support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing & friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of government-religion separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists & to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.
    We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.
    NOTES
    The views and opinions expressed by hosts, guests, or callers are their own and not necessarily representative of the Atheist Community of Austin.

    ahhh, that is so perfect. him insisting that he is 100% totally not reading a script because he definitely doesn't have any paper in front of him (which is a strangely specific thing to say),
    then comes the LOUD paper rustling at 21:34 and the laughter from the background. Pure comedy gold, i love it!

      lol It's the only evidence they have for the bible being true. It's shit evidence and it proves that the bible is unreliable at best and just a book filled with awful inhumane horseshit at worst. I think it's kind of cute that all the evidence that theists provide debunks their position. It's sad that they're not 9 years old anymore though. At that age I can understand they'd use such arguments and expect to be taken seriously.

    • @schlaufuchs552

      We do, but our school system is a) decentralized and b) largely deemphasizes critical thinking, and, outside basic physical and chemical principles, largely seeks to hand down information from authority to memorize. In that respect it’s understandable to see so many Americans develop into adulthood an epistemological skepticism towards authoritarian knowledge bases. Our schools outside university-level education doesn’t teach us why we know what we know about fossils, how they form, how we can have strong certainty about our dating methodologies, and why they present really strong evidence for evolution, or even cladistic organizational systems and why those present even stronger evidence for evolution. But rather they merely tell us there are bones and evolution is true, memorize these facts.
      Given that the critical thinking skills people need to think deeply about evidence and epistemology until you get to the university, from which poorer people are precluded, all ordinary people in this country are two authoritarian pronouncements, one which is deeply integrated into morality, history, culture, society, and eschatology, which everyone in your community intrinsically accepts as valid and reinforces in daily conversation and weekly sermon, and one that you only really encounter in the school system, which deeply touches on class divisions, which is atomized and particularised, offers no simple answers, and appears to be in direct conflict with the other epistemological authority. In this respect it’s no surprise why so many in this country have such a deep misunderstanding of evolution and it’s validity.
