Jack, Belinda and Rachael are joined by new YAS writer and medical student Sarah McBride to talk birds and butts, the epigenetics of homosexuality, eating fat, and what creationists actually believe about science. Jargonauts focuses on the word “fiducial”, and we look at your answers to last week’s question about the best argument for the existence of God. But sadly, no On The Street! Next week’s question: “Is it okay for atheists to celebrate Christmas?”
Plus, Jack has some pretty controversial opinions about cats and birds. Cat lovers be forewarned.
