I'm an Evergreen alum. I graduated in 2017. I went through RCIA and confirmation in 2019.
I witnessed Bret's trouble, but I was socially and academically closer to the people who persecuted him than those who defended him. I lost nearly all of my friends in Oly over the next few years, but I gained so much more. I will carry Bret and Heather's example of moral courage with me for the rest of my life.
I am incredibly grateful for this conversation. Thank you for hosting them, Bishop. Please bless them, and bless those who are persecuted in academia for seeking truth in a world of lies and flattery. 🙏
@@theologyofthebody8383 A couple of questions I have asked of people who “go woke”: Do you think you HAVE to accept the Woke mentality in order to keep or maintain a social image of yourself as a young person (18-35) because you see what happens to those who don’t choose the “woke” dogma? Are you afraid of the fallout of what happens to those reject wokeism ?
Do the the woke dominate through fear?
I think people would be interested in hearing *your* story, Amber Emily :-) God bless you for having the courage to own your stance towards Brett and Heather while they were going through their difficulties at Evergreen....how did you move towards RCIA and confirmation from that place?
You're a greener who says "bless you". I thought I was the only one.
Very very cool. I was a Marxist when I was young… (I’m 50 and fairly conservative as I age) so maybe it’s a common experience to see the left play out, and learn as we grow. Glad you commented.
I agree with MS. I’ll add that I wasn’t aware of their experience at the time, but have discovered them through their podcast during the public health issue the last two years, (still!, not aware of the Evergreen occurrence!)
I finally had to explore further what happened, what was this Evergreen thing? Shocking!, no doubt. I listened to/ watched hours of interviews, video of student mobs, faculty meetings...
I finished high school in the 90’s, attended/ grad LSU late 90’s. This mobbing, cornering and agitating, and total lack of conversation has been shocking- not surprising (given the temperature of opposing sets of the last little while, I’m not really sure, as I’d have to admit I must have not been paying attention... admittedly) This tactic of dealing with the world and each other, I don’t think was my generations way of going about social gains...
One of the things that I have been curious of again and again is just what Amber Emily states here, and thank you for doing so. I have wondered how these young adults have developed outlooks and insights since Evergreen. If their stance has moved them to dig their heels even deeper... or has time, life experience broadened their view of those in their concentric circles of interaction and influence gained their consideration and respect- have they figured out that many of those that were the subject of their vilification had viewed them with mutual respect (and even in the face of the mob really tried to have reasonable dialogue.)
I do wonder if many “outgrew” their rage... thank you, again for your comment. I do think it is met with understanding, compassion, and appreciation.
This is such a strange cross-over. I listen to these podcasts totally independently of one another, and for totally different reasons. Now they're crashing into each other. Should be fascinating.
Same here. Have you seen the one with Brett and Jonathan Pageu? You should if you have not.
I also watch both! So surprised to see this!
It's not really strange. The Catholic Church and Bishop Barron personally both stand behind evolution rather than a literal reading of Creation in Genesis 1, they just teach that evolution was caused by God.
Love to see science and religion getting along. It is kinda wild to see them on his show, ngl. It's nice though.
@@josemartinez6316 you are so good I can oooooioiiioioiooj
I love the fact the Bishop is taking notes and is always trying to learn more. The best teachers are also the best students.
I think those are just his interview prep notes rather than study notes. The host of the unbelievable podcast who do hour long interviews like this one does the same.
Yes, and he adds to them.
Inspector please
I would imagine he's either crossing off pre written questions(it looks like he does it several times during the interview) or adding new questions he could ask. I think it would be inappropriate to spend time writing "study notes" as the interviewer
He recently did a talk on this topic to a different audience and presented the argument he had for that talk to these folks. He added info for further discussion to his notes which he wrote while reading their book with his arguments in mind.
The Good Bishop Barron has a lightening fast mind and goes to the heart of the great questions. As a son of a biologist and chemist I grew up in a science/faith family. All compatible, trust me.
They are more than "compatible." They are married, and their fruit is a theology in itself. A lot of science much include a love of art. Part of the problems we have in medicine, is science with out CONscience. Too many "smarts," too little wisdom. Fear and feelings, over faith and facts. REAL science affirms and is affirmed by the faith. And faith, affirms and is affirmed by...science. It's all from, of, for and by God.
@@jac1161 I'm just curious, is the wonderful fruit of this marriage between faith and science include the theology of Islam or Hinduism, or does it only include Christian theology which, by the sheerest accident, you just happened to be born into?
Of course they are compatible since God created everything ♥️
@@thanksforbeingausefulidiot9016 Where they each encounter an immutable truth, they share that encounter in common. This is certainly what Christian theology would say. Any honest Christian would say that Islam touches upon inevitable truths. The question is not about that, but rather about the fullness of truth. This is where the fundamental divide is found and it is encumbent on each person to work to discern and understand that divide.
We are living in a special time. As a Catholic, I couldn't be more grateful for these types of conversations. Thank you Bishop Barron, Bret and Heather for setting the example!! This was heartwarming. I hope there is more 'dialogos' from WOF and the broader Catholic + human community.
I agree, as a non catholic but a steady listener to all three of these extremely intelligent people.
Hello Michael how are you doing over there?
Very well spoken Michael.
I’ve been listening to this couple, along with Jordan Peterson and James Corbett of The Corbett Report for the last 2 years. Such respect for these people as well as Robert Kennedy Jnr. and the millions fighting for truth and freedom over lies.
@HeartSpace Relaxations like yourself, many of my friends and I "discovered" Bret & Heather, we are grateful for their input and the discussions.
I have listened to that same group of people. Including the Bishop though I'm not Catholic but I am an evangelical small E Christian. I'm not sure anyone presents the christian worldview better than him.
Such a relief to see respectful dialog between scientists and religious figures, all of whom are thinking deeply =)
As a non-denominational Christian, I don’t have words for how much I have enjoyed this conversation. I have the deepest respect for both Heather & Bret and the Bishop. Thank you for reassuring me there are still reasonably and brilliant ‘adults in the room’ who can actually have a real conversation. Hence, my note to the leftist-bombastic LEADERS of this country, you might want to take note and lead accordingly. As it was said in the infamous “Office Space” movie, “that would be great”…
Convert to Catholicism! You won't regret it, I promise!
God bless, friend!

Our "leaders" are too stupid and lost, so let us let the Dead bury the Dead.
Bishop Barron was unbelievably sharp and on top of the ball with this conversation! Loved his persistence with questions that cut right to the heart of truth.
Great and gentle conversation. Thank you, Bishop Barron, Heather and Brett!
Wow. I’ve been listening to Brett and Heather throughout the whole pandemic. I so appreciate their deep intelligence and insights.
I’m also an original Word on Fire Institute member and super excited about its reach and mission. I’m so happy to see these conversations, Bishop Barron, with learned, thoughtful and articulate people in our culture with whom we might not fully agree, but who are as concerned about our shared life as we are.
Be grateful we have points of disagreement. That means (1) we're in a democracy (2) there is more to learn (3) we are not uniform (4) the world is rich and multifaceted.
Hello Debi how are you doing over there?
I am grateful for a multitude of perspectives…it’s interesting to me how many of the comments show that many of us do seek them out. The civility and good will in these interactions is heartening.
I have also gained much from listening to datk horse. Its very interesting to me how little we really disagree on when all involved are being straight.
And they have a great energy. And just stands out more when them two are together. Makes me feel so relaxed/ present.
God bless Bishop Barron and Word on Fire ministries. The way they facilitate conversation and create a inclusive forum to mine for the answers to the hard questions. Excellent!
"Keepers of the Flame" (-- Brett)
I LOVE it!
Through the darkest of times, the phrase, "Be the light that washes away the darkness," has kept me going. 🥲
Well said, Brett.
You, too, Heather, of course!
I simply love you two & am so very thankful for you.
And thanks again, Bishop Barron, for having them on. They are extraordinary people! I appreciate you. All 3 of you have been a guiding light to my family. 🥲 God be with you & yours, always.

Wow, what a surprise to see the Weinsteins on here! Thank you, Jesus! These 2 have been my steady ground & voice of reason since the start of the pandemic. Thanks for having them on Bishop Barron! God be with you guys! Im really looking forward to this & am so very thankful! Yay! 💖🙏🏼😇
I'm old school, I believe science is investigating God's creation.
Sounds like Deism

Yes I agree God will allow Science to discover Him🙏
@@ninaluz8710 God made the universe. Studying the universe is effectively studying God's fingerprint. To study any creation gives insight to the creator. To study all creation does give insight to its creator. This was one of the fundamental principles behind the origins science, assumptions like a rational universe based on a rational creator were necessary, and explains why it was Christians that gave rise to the scientific method... Not atheists.
Thank you, these guests are comfortably thoughtful and articulate on so many diverse subjects. Even though it's unfortunate how they lost tenured positions, it really great for society to have them more available to a broader audience.
Love, "Iam a very temporary custodian of something really important and ancient, ..."
God bless you today who's reading this comment have a blessed day love you all and we are praying for you in any situation you might find yourself. God is always there. Amen
Bishop is an intellectual powerhouse
Ahhhhh👀🤯🥳🤓🙏🏼!!!!!! Some of my favorite public intellectuals getting together. I would have never in a million years expected this collaboration. Thank you to all involved in making this happen. ❤️
Great intelligent calm conversation. I love Gentle discussion. Blessings to all
Listen to both podcasts love that they have come together ❤️. We must never forget to discuss, debate and we will find commonality
Bishop Barron is an amazing interviewer. This was really wonderful .
One good thing that came out of the Evergreen experience is that we can experience conversations like this one with Bret and Heather on You Tube. Evergreen's loss in a gain for the rest of us.
Wow, this is really good. It’s actually much easier to let Jesus Christ into my heart and take up the center of my life when our Lord’s good news is borne with such dignity and grace. Bishop, I love you and I’m so grateful I found your voice on here.
Thank you so much for this conversation with Heather and Bret!
Wonderful. Just wonderful. I'm a theist and I could listen to Dr. Weinstein and Dr. Heying...ALL. DAY. LONG. Thank you.
Why are you a theist.
@@jamesmorris8600 The short answer? The real foundational question is whether or not ALL of reality is contained within spacetime? To the atheist it is. To the theist, space and time are created things. It takes more faith to believe that the universe was just "there", that is, ex nihilo with no creative agent. A pre-existing particle or the infinite regress of the multiverse do not constitute "beginnings".
It takes less faith, IMO, to believe that an infinite-personal God, who "exists" outside of spacetime and who created space, time, and everything contained therein. God's existence can address the issues of origin, morals, meaning, and destiny. Atheism explains nothing. The planets are silent. All the planets allow for are social contracts and arbitrary absolutes.
IF there is a reality OUTSIDE of spacetime, using the tools of Greek logic, to/from and before/after, that are trapped INSIDE spacetime, are useless to determine the existence of anything outside of spacetime. So saying God isn't "logical" makes no sense. God "exists" outside of logic. My quick 2¢. Sorry for being long-winded.
So relevant conversation! I applaud the three of you for your wisdom
And courage!
Thanks to all 3 of you for having this conversation!
Thank you and look forward to listening in on these fascinating and very instructive conversations on critical issues.
Incredibly excited for this one. Three of my all time favourite thinkers coming together for what is sure to be a stupendous discussion.
I concur with this comment whole heartedly! 3 of some of the greatest minds together in one room ♥️
Bishop Barron is an evangelist to the core.
I appreciate all 3 of these people. Really good & mutually respectful conversation. Thank God we still have them.
Very excited for this conversation. I love listening to all of you!!
Enlightening, and intellectually and spiritually nourishing. Thank you Bishop Barron and WoF staff for the outstanding content
Thank you for your service. Amazing guests, they are amazing. Keep fighting the good fight Bishop Barron.
One of my favorite episodes of any CZcams video/podcasts. Enjoy both of your channels individually, but together... WOW!
Thank you, Bishop! This is an awesome collaboration to see!
excellent format and filming.. hope to see more of these, with you speaking with those in related disciplines with the Church. thank you for this Bishop Barron.
I absolutely love Heather and Bret! I'm so glad you had them on.This was such a good conversation, very helpful.
Wonderful exchange! Marvellous to see so many conversations now connecting various respected and diverse voices in our corner of the internet. I love the good faith evident in the exchanges between open minded proponents of free speech and genuine truth seeking.
Hello Dawn how are you doing over there?
Loving the people sitting here discussing and learning if it is possible to walk in hypostatic union and how to do so. God is at the table too exuding joy just being there with the kids.
more of this, please. if we'd enjoyed this level of discourse the MOMENT sound files could be transmittted on the web 20 years ago, I wonder if we'd be in a better place today.
Super conversation....bravo and thumbs up...thank you to 3 people who are making us think..peace
An immense pleasure to discover Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein Bishop Barron's company and enjoying every word said in this thoughtful conversation. Many thanks for this open view.
This is a convergence. Thank you for this conversation.
I was so excited to see three of my favorite people (to listen to)sitting around a table together! Thank you!!!
Me2❤
This is a truly spectacular conversation. It’s full of so many insights and wisdom, explained so clearly and with such humility and clear intelligence. Thank you all and bless you !!!
I hope that these three will meet and converse again. They all clearly have more to say! And I would love to listen. I do t think I’m the only one! A part two please!
The Bishop is such a wonderful interviewer. He is so gracious and considerate of other people.
Two evolutionary biologists and a bishop. The fact that these three talked so long with openness and respect and admiration and curiosity gives me hope.
I love that Bishop Barron is having these conversations
Agreed ! Very important.
Refreshing and insightful. One may not agree but should be grateful to have the opportunity to move out of the echo chamber. Thank everyone for giving and accepting the invitation.
The bishop is an absolutely excellent communicator and so well spoken. What an excellent intro and ability to lead the discussion
Love this conversation! These two are great thinkers! Fascinating stuff
Honest to God this is one the 10 best conversations I've listened to in my whole life.
What a fascinating discussion between intelligent truth seekers. I have listened to many videos from Heather, Brett on Darkhorse and Bishop Barron on theology. This is an amazing convergence of great thinkers trying to understand our objective reality. Wow. Thank you for creating this. It underscores the value and wisdom of all their work and my ability to discern truthseekers from misguided confused academics.
This is fabulous , good questions from Bishop Barron , fascinating answers from Heather and Bret . God I love those two !
Three very philosophical people having a conversation in a civil manner. What a breath of fresh air.
What a great conversation, thanks All!
Absolutely riveting discussion for points of intersection between evolutionists and creationists, not to mention good source material for my next homily about God as Trinity.
At 8:46, I like this view of consciousness. There is something about sharing your thoughts with another that brings clarity to them. Conversation is also, often, how we realize we're wrong. Others have said it, but thought is, in many ways, indistinguishable from speech. They're not synonymous, but thought does seem to be murky without conversation of some sort.
I am a loyal follower of Bret and Heathers podcast “The Darkhorse Podcast” and was grateful to find them here..brilliant as
always
I’m a big fan of Brett & Heather’s podcast and of Bishop Barron. What an extraordinary conversation! Bravo to all of them for coming together. Bishop Barron is the only US prelate who could do this.
Wonderful conversation. So satisfying to watch. Please more conversations!
that was a wonderful discussion between well-read and highly intelligent people. Hope to see more of these on these channel!
Wow - that was simply wonderful. It just got better and better. Thank you to all three of you. I consider this video "essential viewing."
oh I used to LOVE walking past the museum in Ann Arbor en route to/from classes, and reading that quote: Go and see for yourself. It was so inspiring: what I need, what all of us trying to do science need -- and what anyone else trying to forward human knowledge needs. My thanks for this conversation.
Hello Angeline how are you doing over there?
Today I learn that breathing honors God my ancestor and creator who gave me the ability to breathe by giving me my first breath with His Holy Spirit. Thank you God my Father.
Hello brenda how's it going with you over there?
I really enjoyed this discourse. I’ve listened to a great many of Bishop Barron’s presentations on the “intelligibility of the universe” and stayed with you, Bishop, as you asked your questions. (I felt I knew where you were going with it) What I was happy to hear were the responses of your guests. I heard/learned another way of thinking. Did it change my mind? Not at all but I was grateful for the exposure.(WOF offers many such opportunities/ presentations) I’m not ok with saying I don’t need to go down that route when an intuitive thought peaks my imagination. Thanks to WOF, I’ve learned how to think, question and dialogue on many topics. The variety of WOF fellows/speakers presented have opened my mind in an otherwise hectic world full of distractions, many disordered, that want to pull us away from spirituality and our right praise of God. Thanks for this presentation. Your guest speakers were outstanding, as,of course, you were Bishop Barron.
Yes, when a scientists confronts questions that science cannot answer because they are metaphysical questions, they should think about those questions and read what others, especially philosophers and theologians have written because they are humans first, scientists second.
Beautiful conversation. Thank you. 🙏🏽
This was an amazing civil discussion. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Theology, philosophy, and science meet.
Theology meets science: Brett got out of the question, of the mathematical improbability of this universe, by saying physics claims we might have an infinite number of universes. Therefore we just happen to be in the one, that works mathematically. Brett talked himself into implying God exists, when he said that. Why so? Because an infinite number of universes would contain an infinite number of intelligences. What is a standard word for something with infinite intelligence? God.
I'm a itty-bitty "baby Catholic" having just completed RCIA and the Sacraments of Initiation earlier this month and I am often elated as I get further acquainted with my newfound faith and the Church... but... I also love and carry with me 15 years of getting to know the Gaia Hypothesis/Theory, a singular planet life or "Earthlife" paradigm considered by some astro-, molecular- and evolutionary biologists. This past year I have been blown away by discovering (what I believe to be) attributes of Gaia Theory in Catholicism and I credit both Bishop Barron and the priest at my local parish, Fr. Todd Strange, for sending out a message of science-oriented acceptance that encourages me to feel comfortable and confident in pursuing knowledge about two seemingly detached and disjointed perspectives on life, the universe and God.
Welcome Home sister
Hi Sarah. I just want to inform you that there is only Father God. There is no Mother Earth. You are mashing together to religions to make a religion for yourself; this is called syncretism. If you see any similarity in Gaia Theory and Catholicism, I would question that; it could be a strong deception from the Enemy. I'm surprised you made it through a year of RCIA and you are still worshipping the goddess. (I'm being sarcastic here: I'm sure Almighty God is thrilled that you made a little room for Him.)
@@janetgrupe9870 The Gaia Theory, or any scientific theory for that matter, is a conceptual structure used in research of natural and observable phenomena thus I'm surprised that you would equate it to goddess worship and religion. It's not disagreeable to find science in faith. When I recite the Nicene Creed and say that God is the maker of heaven and earth I am affirming that God is also ultimately responsible for what we find in the study of biospheric science too... in fact we were told by our priest not to shy away from it because he believes the study of sciences eventually leads back to God. I think Bishop Barron is trying to send out the same message too.
@@sarahgames7617 I am familiar with the scientific method. I guess the word 'Gaia' carries certain connotations. After working in academia a dozen years, I haven't heard that phrase used. I wouldn't even call it pseudo-science. It's considered ancient mythology. Here are some quick Google definitions: One of the Greek primordial deities. the personification of the Earth, as "Mother Earth", she was the second element in the evolution of the cosmos after Chaos- the primordial void, one of her first offspring was Ouranos, the sky god, who became her lover and later abuser. she encouraged her son Kronos to castrate Ouranos and throw his genitals across the sea. It's more than 2,000 years since she was first worshipped. Today, this false god is back largely thanks to the scientist and environmentalist James Lovelock, whose Gaia hypothesis describes how all living organism form part of an interconnected, self-regulating ecosystem.
"For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." 2 Timothy 4:3 Please forgive the annoying capital letters: TO BE SAVED WE NEED JESUS PLUS NOTHING ELSE
@@janetgrupe9870 I'm not fond of the word "Gaia" and its inclusion to describe this particular paradigm. Maybe in the future, through research and discovery, a better fitting word or description will eventually be found. Something that doesn't trigger people into calling it "goddess worship" when there is no basis for it what so ever. But regardless of that, I will continue to enjoy learning about a subject that I find fascinating a little understood and if I encounter difficult moments where it challenges my faith in God I have no doubt that I will receive kindness and compassion through prayer and a couple conversations with my priest and other trustworthy folks at church. Thank you for your concern.
As crazy as things are in the world, its the plethora of podcasts/channels like this where a diversity of people and ideas are exchanged in good faith. There is a beautiful cross-pollination going on and it gives me great hope
Bishop Barron is spot-on in going after form and final causality!
It's refreshing to see people who disagree having a peaceful conversation :) loved it
Thank you, dear free and courageous people🙏🇭🇷
All of these are model human beings. God bless all three of you!
When Bishop Barron asked the Weinstein’s to ground “the good”, he was essentially asking them a question about ontology. I noticed the answer Bishop received wasn’t an answer of ontology-the response was merely an account of how we’ve come to “know” the good, but that’s an epistemological response. Seems grounding the good on naturalism isn’t answered here. It’s hard to see that naturalism (or anything like it) could provide a foundation for the good. I enjoyed the interview however. As a Catholic, I do like the Weinsteins a lot and I am a regular listener of their DarkHorse CZcams channel.
The best attempt was Plato. But Aristotle and Plotinus, in my opinion, really challenged him in a way that kept what was useful from Plato (form/pattern, logos, anagoge) and threw out what was not useful.
I thought it was answered quite well. The evolution of morality and why humans sacrifice opportunities for the sake of others. I suppose even when we’re ‘doing good’ there’s an agenda. Obviously the Bishop could have pushed back. This is the beauty of conversations without ego, there doesn’t have to be a winner ☺
They are now living a very comfortable life and it is well deserved. And now they are keepers of the flame on the quest for truth, allowing us to be an audience to their conversations. When good triumphs over evil...
Tremendous!
Love IS
Thank you for your conversation.
Thank you for this Bishop Barron! Would love to see you pursue lines of inquiry with people like Bernardo Kastrup and Rupert Spira. I really think some amazing conversations can come of such a meeting of minds! 🙏🏻
I love these long form discussions. More, please.
Thank you Bishop for doing your part to address the meaning crisis in which modern western society is experiencing.
I still think these modern podcasts prove that people always would have and could have listened to and followed complicated, deep, long form discussions in the public sphere, but our overlords always said we were too stupid and could only pay attention for five minutes. I love seeing this stuff emerge
These two are just brilliant and always worth watching
What a combo! Thank you Bishop Barron for having the Weinsteins!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
And I really appreciate that level of conversation.
If just the leaders would learn from you.....
Hello there Bishop. I am a fellow catholic over here in Cameroon, and, i would have loved that we have a bishop like you. Please, if your timetable permits you, do come to this place. You will see what Bret and Heather experienced 10 times more than everywhere you've ever been. I am aware of all this because of my professional background.
I was a staunch atheist until I grew up; now I'm a respectful agnostic. Heather and Bret are dope- but shout out to Bishop Barron- what a delightful conversation. Tea and medals for everyone!
Great discussion. Thanks to Bishop Barron for generous dialogue. Thanks to the guests for recognizing limitations of the science. That has been the problem in my view, this “scientism” which draws conclusions way beyond a scientific grounding.
Thank you Bishop, God Bless you.
Wow! That was (insert positive adjective here).
So many valuable points, and so simply and honestly put without pretension from anyone.
Thank you all involved for this.
I shall be visiting this one again sometime not too far in the future.
The study of science (physics, biology, astronomy) has deepened my faith. It does not provide a definitive proof of God, but it is one influence that has deepened my belief. Dr. Francis Collins wrote a book titled “The Language of God” that provides an excellent reconciliation of science and faith. Rather than illuminating a God of the gaps in our knowledge, he shows a God of Aquinas’s understanding as being itself. Great discussion.
Ironically, that book is pretty obsolete and Collins has taken much heat for it. ENCODE 2012 pretty much killed neo-Darwinism. Read Genetic Entropy, Signature in the Cell, Foresight, and others. Darwinian theory is done.
@@dave1370 Collins’ book is a bit dated. I have heard him in more recent discussions respond to some of the criticisms, and discuss the accepted science to date and enduring truths that he attempts to illuminate in the book. I know that during the pandemic he was widely criticized for his leadership of NIH (in some instances rightly so). Einstein said that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is just how comprehensible it is. Collins’ points to some of the lasting constants and equations that bring about that comprehension. For me, some of the book and the direction of his argument was as much philosophy/theology as it was science. Thanks so much for the additional sources. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to pass them on. Have a blessed day.
Very excited for this talk .
Thank you for making this video and God Bless your lives
Thank you for framework to understand life. For believing in objective reality.
Wonderful exchange! Three of my favorite people.
Fascinating conversation! Thanks!
More conversations like this! I love it!
We are in the golden age of content and independent collaboration. This is so cool.
Bishop Barron is amazing at asking questions...They don't want to admit it but they don't have an answer for it...
What is ‘it’? They give an evolutionary explanation. Period.
