    Great. ID is complete lunacy. Creationism in a cheap suit. So glad I walked away from religion when I was 14 and am 67 now. Best choice I ever made. So glad I got to meet Aron Ra in San Luis Obispo a few years ago. Go FFRF.

    ABBY HAFER! I saw Abby only once before in an all-woman scientist hangout, and I can say in that short time Abby had a positive influence on me. Abby stood out as the natural star of the program. Abby's analysis was very entertaining, educational, and as she said, good for political digestion (short, easy to understand, and easy to repeat.) Just last night on a mostly atheist Discord I relayed one of the ideas of how she presented the function of males being a mixer-of-DNA (and this helps increase the rate of evolution). Sunday is a pretty busy night to have online Live-Chat atheist shows and conversations during and afterwards for some atheists, it seems, on Discord, UA-cam/Google hangouts and elsewhere -- Sunday, go figure.

    Thank you FFRF and Abby Hafer. I enjoy my FFRF membership and their content immensely. Does anyone know how the ID proponents get from the holy grail of an “intelligent designer” to any specific religion? Even if I were to agree with ID (which I don’t), what does it have to do with Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Kali, or any of the hundreds of other dogmatic belief systems? I have
    not seen any ID proponents like Michael Behe, David Berlinski or Stephen Meyer cover this. It seems like a major oversight in the ID argument.

    Are there any plans for Abby Hafer's book to be made available on Audible?

    What a person/woman!! Very impressive and I'm old! A septuagenarian and find such a person to be such a breath of fresh air as she fights the brain dead ! I'm from the old school atheist and feel god should be kicked in the balls and she is so much more gentle!! LOL Thanks for the video!

    My nieces are alive today, and their mother, only because of Medical Science C-section. ( Edit, they still put their faith in Jesus not in science)

    Another good example are human toes. If your feet are designed for walking, why put highly sensitive digits on them? At least make them less sensitive. Ouch! 👠👠👠👠

    She's got a point. Seems very hard to believe that the Jesus in the Bible who said "Behold I stand at the door and knock" and "Verily verily I say onto thee ....." Created everything on this planet and made it the way it is as well as the universe and how it all operates........
