On Sunday mornings, I'm in the habit of listening to Steve Novella's weekly podcast "Skeptic's Guide to the Universe," which I did again this morning. I highly recommend it, especially today, when we "could" be listening to GC.
What's it about? Among other things,
* Robert DeNiro & the Autism/Anti-vacc controversy.
* Vegetarianism and cancer.
* New research & discoveries into human genome/DNA analysis.
Plus some fun sections about science v. fiction, mysterious noises guessing game, and some interesting new (to most of us) words.
Their stated mission ("job") is to debunk pseudo-science. As I listened, I applied their scientific, logical and reasoned approach to the wild and supernatural claims of religion, specifically of Mormonism.
I can't think of anything worse than wasting time listening to the GC suits drone on and on about the lies of JS, and how to be happy by paying tithing.
And I can't think of anything better than listening to the stimulating discussions on SGU (www.theskepticsguide.org)
