Podcast Shout-Out!

So I know we're behind on Podcast #3, but we're going to try to have to recorded in the next week or so.

In other news, I wanted to give some shout-outs to some podcasts that I have subscribed to and that I think are awesome - you should too.

The H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast - http://hppodcraft.com/
Each episode, these guys go over one of Lovecraft's stories with selections being read by professional actors.  The podcast is very well-made, the audio quality is superb, and the content is really entertaining.  I was only vaguely familiar with Lovecraft's work before finding this podcast, and I find that it actually appeals to me greatly.  Also, the music and sound effects that they use really add to the ambiance of the story.  Check out their podcast!

Living After Faith - http://livingafterfaith.blogspot.com/
Rich Lyons is a former Pentacostal preacher who discusses his experiences in leaving religion and his life now as an out Atheist.  He also appears on Ask an Atheist regularly, and his voice is a genuine pleasure to listen to.  Moreover, he discusses topics that many people struggle with, but few people actually discuss openly.

Godless Bitches - http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/godless-bitches/id457955142
The ladies of the Atheist Community of Austin have started a separate podcast where they talk about feminism, LGBT issues, women skeptics, etc.  It's an awesome podcast that I highly recommend for anyone!

The Non-Prophets Internet Radio Show - http://www.nonprophetsradio.com/
I've been listening to the Non-Prophets ever since I discovered The Atheist Experience, and each show is entertaining and educational.  Topics generally covered are the same as on the show (religion, atheism, church/state separation, etc.) but they do not take live callers, and the format is much more relaxed and explicit.

Happy Jack's RPG Podcast - http://www.happyjacks.org/
If you play tabletop RPGs, or even if you don't but enjoy the 'gamer culture', this podcast is for you.  The folks at Happy Jack's are hilarious, well-spoken, and have some great ideas and tips on gaming, GMing, and beer.  Oh, and the Happy Jack's crew also has a band called the Poxy Boggards and they feature their music in the podcast regularly.  Good stuff!

Fear the Boot - http://www.feartheboot.com/
Fear the Boot is RPG/Gaming podcast that focuses heavily on helping GMs and players, as well as interesting stories and discussions.  They also happen to put on a gaming convention in St. Charles, Missouri every year called Fear the Con.  Great podcast!

Other notable podcasts worth listening to:

Kicked in the Dicebags! - http://kickedinthedicebags.libsyn.com/
Postcards from the Dungeon - http://pftdcast.com/

Anyway, if you come across an awesome podcast, drop a comment here and let us know!

Methodological Naturalism Explained - Why Science Can't Consider The Supernatural

I am going to make a bold statement. "For all practical purposes, it is always irrational to assign a supernatural cause to an event observed in the natural world." Now I am going to attempt to back up that statement. The only reason (of which I am aware) to assign a supernatural cause to a given event is the following: "I do not currently understand the details and outcome of this observation given my current state of knowledge and understanding of the natural world." Also, I suspect that many of you would prefer to add the caveat "And the details and outcome of this event are consistent with a particular supernatural belief or belief system", but that is clearly an example of circular reasoning and cannot be a valid part of this discussion.  The supernatural belief or belief system is, in fact, the item in question, or to be more accurate, the observation cannot be assigned a cause which has not been demonstrated, it can only be assigned a hypo

Atheist / Christian T-Shirt Challenge - Given by The Atheist Advocate

I recently shared a link to a great little article by The Atheist Advocate on patheos.com in which Christians are challenged to wear an Atheist t-shirt for one week, in order to learn about what persecution  means, due to the apparent misunderstanding which is often spread by Christians. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2013/04/25/challenge-to-christians-wear-an-atheist-t-shirt-and-gauge-reactions/ Pretty good idea, no? Now, I know that '____ Challenge' is currently extremely cliche, but would a good name for this be 'Persecution Challenge'?  Too emotive maybe? I may have found a taker, and I think it would be a really great experience, probably for both of us.  You see, she's a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  I would be required to wear a Mormon t-shirt for one week, while she would be required to wear an Atheist t-shirt during the same time.   If we both agree on this, how should we document everyth

On Evolution: Common Misconceptions and Deceptions

There are some critical misunderstandings of evolution out there, and I’d like to help clear some of them up. Ray Comfort is offering $10,000 to the first person who provides evidence of a ‘living transitional form’, and he defines this as a species giving birth to an entirely different species, such as a squirrel giving birth to a bird, or a chicken giving birth to a snake.  Now, I personally think Ray is being patently dishonest, but this raises a good point about what people seem to think evolution is all about. Let’s say that you are a paleontologist, and you have discovered fossils of a previously undocumented animal.  What you are looking at is a snapshot in time, as it were.  A ‘species’ is just that - it is a group of animals with particular shared characteristics, and when you look at a particular species, you are actually seeing the ‘current version’ of that genetic lineage.  If you take our hypothetical fossil find, you can determine approximately when that creature was
