Did Humans DESIGN God or Did GOD Design Us? | Hn 128

00:00 -- Intro. We have two new fans! And they're famous!
02:20 -- Go watch this conversation between Bret and Tucker first! (link below)
03:02 -- Bret explains the principle or parsimony in relation to the God v. evolution debate. Does his argument hold water? Or does Tucker's "simpler" explanation have more explanatory power?
14:32 -- Where does evil come from? Must it be supernatural? Or is there an evolutionary explanation for such awful things as human sacrifice and cannibalism?
39:20 -- If religion isn't true, can it still be useful? Bret introduces "the meta-natural". Narratives convey useful truths without getting impossibly bogged down in complexity.
49:02 -- Why is life superior to death? Sez who? Where does morality come from, with or without God? How do we bridge the is/ought gap?
1:00:37 -- Time to solve the problems in the Middle East, via evolution AND religion!
1:17:46 -- Final thoughts: Small talk and intuition and prayer explained, evolutionarily.
1:25:36 -- Outro. Thanks for watching Haman Nature!
