Not every good trilogy needs a 4th episode. I disagree. Not every good trilogy needs a 4th episode.

You guys should do a face-to-face more often. I realize it's not that practical. Just keep the show going! I'm a fairly new listener - discovered the show in October 2008 so I'm still making my way through the older shows. Please keep it going and don't be afraid to re-touch old subjects or to dive into more detail. Thanks again, Nick This was a great show. You guys should do a face-to-face more often.

Being born again should be a stage where one tries to find the truth, right? I have a friend who loves his Chiropractor but I keep mentioning things like http://www.whatstheharm.net/ I said to him that I don't see $$ signs when I look at him. Same thing with cosmology, we're not trying to hurt anyone but to show the nuts and bolts as much as we know them. Creationists have a wee bit of a problem with scientific facts as I'm sure you are aware. Good luck. Eli, don't be afraid to let her listen to this podcast.

I just wanted you both to know that, despite the not so great sound quality, I found this to be one of the best episodes to date. I am an agnostic, with a science bent, and my wife would describe herself as a born again christian. We have long ago stopped trying to "prove" anything to each other. Still, on occasion, an argument about say.. the age of the universe... crops up. I will probably never play her this episode but I will keep it on the hard drive as reference. Thanks for everything you do. Eli Hello,

Question - You have a split screen TV. On the left is a camera showing the first light moving out from the Big Bang. On the right screen you have a camera showing our solar system waiting for the 13 Billion year old light to hit us. What would we see in both screens if time lapsed and synched to each other? Also, in which direction would the camera on the right be pointed? Great subject. Question – You have a split screen TV. On the left is a camera showing the first light moving out from the Big Bang.
