🧠📚 What qualifies someone to question the deepest ideas about God, evolution, and human morality? A degree—or a life lived on the margins?
In this closing episode, the author steps out from behind the curtain of arguments and hypotheses to share the most personal part of the book: the story behind it.
From a childhood shaped by brutality and survival, to a life reshaped by audio lectures, autism, and an unlikely love affair with mp3 files, this epilogue isn’t a philosophical argument—it’s a human one. It’s about how someone without credentials, living in bureaucratic limbo, dared to write a book asking uncomfortable questions about God, science, and the illusions we build to keep from going mad.
There are no appeals for money, no polished branding—just a voice speaking into the dark, hoping someone is still listening.
Whether you’re a theist, atheist, or spiritual drifter, you might find a strange kind of kinship in this story—one that reminds us that behind every worldview, there's a person trying to make sense of the world with the tools they’ve been given.
🎧 In this epilogue:
A life between poverty and philosophy
How mp3s and broken headphones replaced formal education
Thoughts on knowledge, suffering, and the illusion of normality
A quiet request for feedback, edits—and maybe… kindness

Evolution, Creation, and the Battle for Worldview Supremacy
🔍 Can objectivity survive belief?
In Part 2 of Chapter 16, we push further into the philosophical and psychological roots of evolutionary theory—and ask what happens when science becomes a battlefield of worldviews.
What if palaeontology had evolved under a different paradigm? What if peer-reviewed journals were dominated not by secular naturalism, but by creationist interpretations of the same data? Would the facts remain the same—or would our interpretations shift dramatically?
From the nature of radiometric dating and the controversies of fossil interpretation, to the psychological dynamics behind dominance, exclusion, and the fear of social exile—this episode explores the often-unspoken instincts driving how we build consensus in science and society. We’ll also dissect the ideological consequences of forgery, bias, and narrative-building on both sides of the worldview divide.
You don’t need to be religious—or atheist—to see the deeper point: that truth may not be what we find, but what we allow ourselves to seek.
🎧 Highlights:
A thought experiment on scientific dominance and paradigm shifts
The psychology of social conformity in secular and religious spaces
The myth of pure objectivity in science
Creationism vs. Evolution through a reversed lens
How groupthink, prestige, and fear shape what we call "truth"
This is not a battle between belief and unbelief—it’s a deep dive into the human need for certainty, the fear of being wrong, and the sociological pressure to conform. Whether you’re a sceptic, a seeker, or somewhere in between, this episode is for those who dare to question the narrators, not just the narrative.

🧬🧠 Can Truth Survive Bias?
Why did evolution unfold through blood, extinction, and pain—if a rational and benevolent God was behind it all? Could a truly good deity have authored a process so messy, indifferent, and brutal?
In this episode, we dive into one of the most perplexing crossroads of science and spirituality: reconciling evolution with morality and divine intention. Is suffering a feature or a flaw in creation? Is evolution a blind mechanism—or a divine instrument operating under higher laws we’ve barely begun to grasp?
We don’t offer easy answers—but we do expose the hidden assumptions behind both scientific and theological narratives. We challenge evolutionary naturalism as being just as worldview-driven as theism, and we ask:
🔍 How do our cognitive biases shape what we call “evidence”?
🧩 What do we truly mean by “truth”—and who decides what counts as rational?
🌍 Is our moral outrage against suffering a sign of progress—or a clue that something in the evolutionary picture is still missing?
With nods to Bertrand Russell, Slavoj Žižek, Robert Trivers, and cognitive psychology, this episode is for thinkers willing to venture beyond dogma—whether secular or religious.
🎧 Tune in for a bold yet respectful exploration of:
The philosophical paradox of evolution and God
The psychology of worldview dominance
How illusions, not truth, may have shaped our species
And why even science may fall prey to its own sacred narratives

What happens when the boundaries of morality begin to blur? In this provocative episode, we explore the unsettling terrain where modern ethics, social taboos, and radical freedom collide.
Is our moral compass shifting beyond recognition—or simply evolving with human understanding?
This chapter dares to engage with the most controversial arguments emerging from progressive movements and philosophical fringe groups—from posthumous consent to romantic autonomy beyond death. We don’t present conclusions, but rather open a space for reflection.
Why do we find some ideas unthinkable, even when they’re logically consistent? Are modern societies drifting toward a new moral framework—or losing their grip on any framework at all?
This isn't about sensationalism—it's about asking: What happens to civilization when there’s nothing left to call taboo?
🔍 Listener discretion advised. Engage your mind, challenge your assumptions, and stay with us to the end—because some arguments aren’t meant to persuade, but to provoke deeper clarity.

Fifty Shades of Nudity: Where Has Morality Gone?
In a world where the boundaries of morality grow thinner by the year, have we confused freedom with fragmentation?
This episode explores what happens when the moral “fortress” that once protected society from collapse is replaced by dotted lines on a map of unchecked expression. From body paint on social media to shifting norms around sexuality, appearance, and identity—are we evolving, or simply eroding?
Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, this isn’t a call to return to dogma—but to ask deeper questions:
What is morality for in the first place?
Can a society flourish without shared values?
Why do certain standards still instinctively feel sacred, even when we no longer believe in the sacred?
Featuring psychological studies, cultural analysis, and historical parallels, this episode challenges both the religious and secular mind to reconsider where the line between liberation and self-destruction really lies.
Is modesty outdated—or revolutionary?

What if choosing not to eat meat wasn’t about health, culture, or trend—but about aligning with the highest possible moral standard? In this episode, we dig deeper into the ethical, philosophical, and even scriptural foundations behind the idea that causing unnecessary harm is always a step away from the ideal.
Did Jesus eat meat? Does God actually want animal suffering? Are biblical food laws moral absolutes—or temporary compromises for a broken world?
Whether you believe in God or simply value reason, compassion, and consistency, this episode asks uncomfortable—but necessary—questions. How much of our behavior is inherited tradition, and how much reflects the best version of ourselves?
🔍 Prepare for a provocative journey through ancient texts, psychological insights, and ethical thought experiments that challenge what we think is "normal"—and what might actually be divine.

What if the question of eating animals wasn’t just a health trend or ethical debate—but a window into something much deeper? In this episode, we explore veganism not through dogma, but through a provocative lens of logic, morality, and ancient texts. Why do we instinctively recoil at suffering? And what does that reveal about the design of consciousness—or the possible mind behind it?
Whether you're skeptical of God or grounded in faith, this conversation offers a unique framework: one that challenges tradition, respects scripture, and dares to ask—what would a perfect being really want for creation?

What does it truly mean for God to suffer? Can a perfect, unchanging being choose to diminish Himself out of love? In this deep philosophical and theological exploration, we unpack the profound implications of the Trinity—focusing on divine consciousness, the meaning of Christ’s sacrifice, and the challenges of Unitarian interpretations. Through powerful analogies, moral dilemmas, and logical reasoning, we examine whether the concept of a created redeemer is compatible with absolute love, and how hierarchy, equality, and divine interaction shape our understanding of God.
🔍 Topics include:
Death of consciousness vs. death of image
The logic of divine sacrifice
Trinitarian vs. Unitarian coherence
Hierarchy, equality, and divine pedagogy
Moral implications of redemption
The nature of Christ and God's character
📘 From If Atheists Created God by Andrew Mytaf — an in-depth journey through reason, theology, and the moral fabric of the universe.

How can one consciousness exist independently without subjects to interact with? Does the nature of reality itself suggest a multi-conscious divine being? In this episode, we explore the philosophical, logical, and theological dimensions of the Trinity, questioning the viability of a Unitarian God while analyzing the necessity of multiplicity in both consciousness and existence.
From the fundamental structure of the universe to the biblical and rational perspectives on divine perfection, this chapter presents a compelling case for Trinitarian thought. Join us as we navigate the complexities of divine essence, the interplay of personal consciousnesses, and the philosophical necessity of a multi-conscious absolute.
🔎 Topics Covered:
✔️ Consciousness and interaction: Can a singular God be self-aware?
✔️ Scientific and theological parallels to the Trinity
✔️ The problem with mono-consciousness models
✔️ How the concept of infinity supports multi-consciousness
✔️ The role of each hypostasis within God’s nature

Where do we draw the line between potential life and personhood? In this episode, we critically examine the complex moral, scientific, and theological dimensions of abortion. From the evolution of human attachment and empathy to the latest research on foetal pain perception, we navigate the intersection of biology, ethics, and individual rights.
Is the condemnation of abortion rooted in religious dogma, or does it stem from deeper evolutionary instincts? How do intuitive morality, social responsibility, and the pursuit of personal freedom shape this ongoing debate? And within a rational framework of God, how might biblical principles align—or conflict—with modern views on reproductive rights?
Join us for a nuanced discussion that challenges assumptions on both sides, seeking clarity beyond political and ideological narratives.

What is the soul? Is it an immaterial essence beyond the reach of science, or can its concept be understood through the lens of modern neuroscience and philosophy? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the origins of the soul, from ancient religious texts to contemporary scientific studies on near-death experiences and brain activity.
Does the soul truly exist as a separate entity, or is it a poetic representation of consciousness and life itself? We explore the intersection of theology, psychology, and cutting-edge research to unravel this age-old mystery—challenging assumptions while remaining open to diverse perspectives.
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that bridges science and spirituality without dismissing either.

Are gender differences purely a product of societal conditioning, or do they have deep biological and evolutionary roots? In Part 2 of this chapter, we take a closer look at the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral distinctions between men and women—from childhood toy preferences to spatial orientation, stress responses, and even the way we tell stories.
We’ll also examine the broader ideological battle surrounding gender identity, exploring how science, culture, and politics intersect in today’s shifting landscape. Can we truly erase all distinctions between the sexes? What happens when ideology overrides biology? And does equality mean sameness—or can we embrace differences without discrimination?
🔬 Topics covered in this episode:
✔️ Early behavioral preferences: innate or learned?
✔️ Spatial orientation & risk-taking: why do men outperform in navigation?
✔️ The stress response: why do women ruminate while men react?
✔️ The great gender debate: where does science end and ideology begin?
✔️ The role of hierarchy: natural order or social construct?
✔️ Evolution vs. theism: is gender a divine design or an adaptive trait?
Join us as we unpack the science, philosophy, and societal implications of gender distinctions in this thought-provoking discussion.

Chapter 11, Part 1: Male Chauvinism – The Science of Gender Differences
Society takes pride in its progress toward gender equality, yet biology stubbornly insists on preserving key distinctions between men and women. In this episode, we dive into the physiological, neurological, and psychological differences between the sexes—differences that persist despite cultural shifts and attempts to redefine gender roles.
From chromosome disparities and hormone-driven development to variations in brain structure, metabolism, and immune response, we explore how these differences influence behavior, cognition, and even the way we experience the world. Why do men and women react differently to stress? What role does dopamine play in risk-taking? And is it true that men’s brains are bigger? (Spoiler: Yes, but it’s complicated!)
We also examine how these differences play out in everyday life, from the labor market to social dynamics. Is modern society ignoring biology in its pursuit of equality? Are young men redefining masculinity—or simply neglecting traditional roles?
Join us as we unravel the science behind gender and challenge some of the most controversial questions about equality, capability, and human nature.

In this deeply contemplative episode, we confront some of the most challenging moral and philosophical questions in human history: Why does a supposedly benevolent and omnipotent God allow the suffering and death of innocent children? Can these tragedies be justified in any coherent worldview, religious or secular?
From the Great Flood to the Death of David's Infant, and the morally complex narratives of the Genocide of Canaan, we examine ancient biblical accounts that have puzzled theologians and sceptics alike. Are these stories mere myths meant to convey moral lessons, or do they point to a deeper, more unsettling truth about the nature of God and existence itself?
This episode explores a daring hypothesis: Is it possible that divine intervention is constrained by a commitment to preserving free will—even at the cost of innocent lives? Could there be a form of "divine anaesthesia" that nullifies the suffering of children in seemingly cruel narratives? And what implications does this have for our understanding of justice, mercy, and the ultimate purpose of life?
We also challenge the notion of Biblical Infallibility, proposing that ancient texts may contain cultural and emotional biases, reflecting the limited understanding of their authors while still conveying profound truths. Does this mean we should reinterpret these stories with modern ethical frameworks? How do we balance respect for tradition with the demand for moral consistency?
This episode is a philosophical journey for anyone who refuses to accept easy answers. Whether you are an atheist searching for logical explanations, a believer wrestling with doubt, or somewhere in between, this discussion will push the boundaries of your understanding and provoke deep introspection.

In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into one of the most profound and heart-wrenching questions of human existence: Why do innocent children suffer and die? How can this be reconciled with the concept of an all-powerful, benevolent deity—or even with a universe that is just and meaningful?
We explore the unsettling paradox that while every ideology—whether religious, political, or philosophical—strives to justify human suffering for a greater cause, the deaths of children remain uniquely tragic, universally unjustifiable, and deeply troubling. From natural disasters and illnesses to the horrors of war, children bear the brunt of circumstances beyond their control, raising questions that defy easy answers.
Through an unflinching examination of historical, philosophical, and theological perspectives, this episode challenges listeners to confront the discomforting implications of innocent suffering. What does this mean for our understanding of justice, morality, and the very nature of existence?
We also investigate the moral dilemmas presented by ancient texts, including the disturbing episodes of divine judgment found in religious scriptures. From the mauled youths in 2 Kings to the tenth plague of Egypt and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, we analyze these narratives not to provoke but to seek understanding. Can a logical or ethical explanation be found within these ancient stories, or do they ultimately deepen the mystery of innocent suffering?
This episode invites listeners to journey beyond simplistic answers and confront the uncomfortable truths that lie at the intersection of faith, reason, and human experience. No matter your beliefs—religious, spiritual, agnostic, or atheist—this conversation will challenge your perspective and provoke deep reflection.

In this episode, we dive deep into the historical roots and ethical complexities of physical punishment, exploring how societal and economic factors shaped its use on slaves and criminals. We examine why imprisonment was once reserved for the elite, the moral implications of fines and corporal punishment, and how ancient laws aimed to balance justice with humanity. Join us as we navigate the nuanced interpretations of historical texts, including the controversial law in Exodus 21:20-21, and the moral dilemmas faced by societies striving to enforce order while preserving human dignity.

In this episode, we delve into one of history’s most troubling moral dilemmas—slavery. Why did ancient religious texts, including the Bible, acknowledge slavery without explicitly condemning it? Was this omission a tacit endorsement, or was it a necessary concession to the realities of survival in primitive societies?
We explore the evolution of slavery from tribal punishment to a global institution fueled by economic necessity. How did societies suppress natural empathy to justify enslavement? What ideological constructs enabled its persistence, and how did economic progress ultimately undermine it?
Through a rational lens, we examine the Old Testament’s approach to slavery, tracing its gradual transition from regulation to abolition. Could a direct divine prohibition have been effective, or would it have led to unintended societal collapse? We also investigate the paradox of a "helpless God"—one bound by His own moral logic, permitting limited compromises to preserve free will and the greatest number of lives.
This discussion challenges us to reconsider our perception of historical morality, divine justice, and the slow march toward human rights. Tune in for a thought-provoking analysis that reshapes our understanding of slavery’s role in shaping civilisation.

Why did Christ have to die? Could God not simply forgive sin without sacrifice? In this episode, we dive deep into the paradox of redemption, exploring the fundamental question of whether death is a divine punishment or a natural consequence of free will.
We break down the core dilemma: If God is the source of all life, how could He allow Himself to die? What does it mean for a perfect being to experience suffering, and how does this suffering reshape human consciousness? Through an analysis of biblical texts, theological arguments, and rational inquiry, we examine the necessity of atonement, the role of grace, and the ultimate purpose of sacrifice.
This episode goes beyond traditional theological explanations, challenging the purely juridical and mystical perspectives. Instead, we propose a rational framework where divine love is not merely a decree but an immersive, transformative force—one that reshapes reality itself.
Join us as we uncover the deeper meaning behind the crucifixion, explore the limits of divine patience, and address one of the most controversial questions in theology: Did God truly die? And if so, why?

Why does suffering exist if God is both all-powerful and all-good? This age-old question, famously articulated by Epicurus, has challenged philosophers and theologians for centuries. While many argue that human free will explains moral evil—violence, corruption, and injustice—natural evil remains an enigma. Hurricanes, diseases, and genetic mutations exist beyond human control, raising profound questions about divine justice.
In this episode, we explore some of the most thought-provoking responses to this dilemma. From Alvin Plantinga’s argument for a powerful non-human spirit as the source of natural evil to philosophical theories that suggest suffering serves a greater purpose, we dissect the logic behind these explanations. Is natural evil a mere contrast to highlight divine goodness, an essential part of a balanced universe, or a necessary consequence of human autonomy?
We also examine how biological adaptation and genetic variability may reflect a built-in survival mechanism rather than a divine intention to inflict pain. Could God have structured the world in a way that allows for resilience without removing free will? And if so, what does that tell us about His nature?
Join us as we tackle one of the most difficult and debated questions in theology and philosophy.
