2:14:28 Drowned. I made a mistake in the newsletter only two people. Oh, oh, I didn't catch it. I always proofread it and I didn't catch you what you get this well? I And I know how to do I know the right word but I used the wrong one when I use that twice. Oh boy It was The show is beholden To the audience and ice wrote beholding ah It's behold then, be. I'm sorry i missed that one well i mean i missed it i've read it a couple of times and for some reason i didn't catch it i know the words and uh you know what are you gonna do yeah i do my best we had a we had an interesting conversation john on the last show over chardonnay in a conversation about science being the new religion oh yeah with your buddies but i got a lot
2:15:19 I bet you did. But, like to share one with you... Did your buddies send a note in or anything? I bet you 10 bucks they're not listening to this show anymore. Well, I forgot to mention that Professor Russ also had a vasectomy and he looks like a lesbian! There ya go. This is a note from Sir Eric of Chi-town. You know if I if that's... I don't with friends like that who needs enemies. What? That comment! What can I say is just an observation It's based on a book I read in the 19th, not in the 20s But look at Professor Ross he looks like a lesbian and you can't help it Yeah you can't help once you get the vasectomy this is where direction you go yeah but his wife made him do it
2:16:06 Of course. Hey Adam, hope you're enjoying your time in the Windy City! At least you've come up for some decent weather... As an ordained pastor someone who has a PhD in theology and whose doctoral work covered the idea of what a God is here's another angle on the science as a religion conversation A hint? You are right Now do we have a great producing audience or what? The best An ordained pastor, Phd in theology So take that, Professor Brain. We have professors in theology! Something you are not a professor in." And there you have it... In 1529 the German reformer Martin Luther—we all know him—did he not start the Lutheran Church? Pretty much. Published his large catechism as he was unpacking the line from the Ten Commandments quote, "...You shall have no other gods before me," end quote
2:17:01 He reflected on what a God is. A god, wrote Luther... Remember this professor saying this! A god, wrote Luther, is anything on which your heart relies, anything in which you put your trust therefore it's very possible for science to be a God and for religion to form around it Yes This connects with the original sin phrase that people of power keep tossing about A phrase which is a very complicated metaphor I wish they would actually explain. And here we go! The original sin of Adam and Eve according to Genesis 3, is that they trusted the serpent and their own desires more than they trusted what God said regarding the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The original sin is not trusting God above all others which still, as the theological argument goes are sins today
2:17:48 If the response is that trust is not religion, they are technically right in that there's no formal hierarchy or structure. But... Trust is the essence of faith and faith does lead to religion, especially amongst those who blindly or uncritically follow a way of thinking that is designed to build trust in a way of thinking or acting. As reminder I'm a pastor so I know this problem from both personal experience and academic work In today's media science IS a kind of religion Whenever people talk about science just replace the word with God or purple fairies or magic Purple fairies And the effect will normally be the same. Science is being used on the media-consuming public like religion was being used on the public in Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries." Yeah, this is a...of course a lot of people refer to this process as idolatry. Mm-hmm. What are what are the little things you worship around idolatry? Idols!
2:18:45 No, no. There's a different word I'm looking for. The religious symbols? Well anyway... An example of this which includes a salute. Ah! Hail Apple! Hail Apple! I'd host you for your meal during your time here but my wife hates the show. Just with the... I'd host you for your meal during your time here. My wife hates the show? My wife hates the show! Oh well, keep up the media... But why?! I don't know! He needs to explain. Anyway sir Eric... A lot of it was tied in that note we received earlier where I read about people not... You know, the show contradicts your thought process if you're all-in with mainstream media. I just love that!
2:19:38 Here's a professor, here is the professor in two paragraphs explaining why science is religion and then his toss away. I'd host a meal for you during your time here but my wife hates the show. Oh well... Hitting people on the mouth for Jesus Sir Eric of Chita. And now just realize it is not The Book Of Knowledge we should be looking things up in The Tree Of Knowledge. That's a bit much. Okay, so you already have the jingle anyway Anyway I appreciate that Sir Eric pastor sir Pastor Eric and tell your wife I said hey You know you turned on your friend there
