  • 553: Beauty and the Atheist
    Apr 21 2026

    This week, science's very own Forrest Valkai joins us for an atheist review of Beauty and the Atheist; the story of what Donald James Parker would've said during that evolution debate if he'd thought of it ... and been a sexy young woman that Forrest couldn't resist.

    Yes, that's really what the movie is about.
