Evan, Perry, Steve	E: So he thinks he's found the evidence. This wall that is off the coast of Cyprus under the water. P: I'm convinced. E: Yeah. S: I'm silenced. P: I will be forever silent on this topic. E: There's nothing more to say.	Humor	9

Steve	He [Ken Ham] writes as if scientists and skeptics, we define ourselves by not believing him. We are secularists. Scientists are secularists. And we're doing this to rebel against God; and we're looking for aliens so that we can prove evolution, to finally stick it to those creationists. You know what, Ham? We don't care about you and your creationism. We don't think about it all the time. We love science, and we love exploring the universe, and evolution is true because of all the evidence for evolution. It's not all about sticking it in your eye.	Religion & Faith	472
Steve	I decided to start a podcast for my midlife crisis.	Humor	473
