They are. That's exactly my point. That's exactly my point. They are both true.
And maybe this will be more of a theme of our discussion on other topics here. But there's a kind of nuance that has become impossible. And I'm trying to make a point to the atheists about what they've failed at and why they're not reaching lots of people and why they're losing ground.

And I'm also trying to make a point to the theological folks about Darwinism and about the utility of figuring out how to reconcile these things rather than view them as competing explanations.

Yes, and if I haven't said it before, I don't call myself an atheist in large measure because I think the spokespeople for atheism have done such a terrible disservice to the idea of science, largely by demonizing people's religious faith rather than taking it as the important set of questions that it obviously is. Yes, nicely put. Sam was a friend of mine. He became very disturbed during COVID

about my stance as a COVID dissident and refused to talk to me about it, frankly. I invited him multiple times, and he refused to have the conversation. But he... I think must have earnestly believed that my position was putting people in danger, and he viewed it as a moral failing. He had several podcasts on the subject.

He accused me of being out of my depth, even though I'm an evolutionary biologist and evolution is highly relevant to all of the topics included in COVID. Is he a biologist? Is he a biologist? In a technical sense, yes.

He is a neurobiologist who, for his dissertation work, which I think is all of his work, studied effectively the same question that he had been an author about, about the dangers of extreme Islamism. And he effectively answered Did a dissertation on the supposed neurobiological facts of people in this mindset. Islam. Yeah. Now, I don't mean to dismiss that.

I can say I have doubts about the methodology that he used. He depended on something called FMRI, functional MRI scanning, which in theory allows you to see the activity of different regions of the brain when asked to think certain thoughts or do certain tasks. But there's a lot of difficulty in calibrating FMRI
