Before we get to this week’s guest, Tanner edits on science and nonbelief. Here’s a word from Free Inquiry magazine.

One magazine is dedicated to keeping you up to date with analysis that cuts through the noise and the surprising courage to appear politically incorrect. That magazine is Free Inquiry, the world’s leading journal of secular humanist opinion and commentary. Subscribe to free inquiry today. One year, six controversial issues for 1995.
