Ezekiel Chapter 45: Bible Study by Atheists

[00:00:00] Welcome to Sacrilegious Discourse. For this is what the sovereign Lord says, Why do you need prophets to tell people who you are and what you want? If you can justify everything that the God of the Bible

[00:00:11] has done, then you can justify any of your behavior. A lot of this mentality is trickling into what is now mainstream right wing Christianity. I am capable of empathy greater than this God of the Bible.

[00:00:26] This is a Bible that they tell kids, this is the good Lord, this is the good book, this is He is fantasizing about murder, mass murder. And over to Sacrilegious Discourse.com right now I got how to leave this review or some

[00:00:42] worrisome country on. Usband wife do you remember where we are and how we got here? Well, yesterday we read Ezekiel Chapter 44. We did. And in that chapter God was going

[00:01:00] well, he was coming through a gate. He went through a gate and now nobody can go through that gate. Ever. Except for kings maybe sort of they go through the Puerto Rico? That's just I mean

[00:01:11] I don't know they can't go through that gate. They can meet them. They can meet them at the gate. They can come around the other side and meet them and make sure his room. But really what this is all about

[00:01:20] I think is because I think the Zekeel struck some sort of a financial gain deal with the Zatokites and he's like hey Zatokites, yo you guys can be in charge and you guys are like awesome but the rest of the people sucks so we're gonna

[00:01:39] keep that whatever you got coming to me coming and I'll just make sure you guys look like the best. Let's shake on a griffed. Yeah yeah because I mean like he specifically went out of his way to say

[00:01:49] they get the choices to things. They get the best. All the good things. I'm like oh who are these Zatokites? Like what the fuck do they do? They're the special leaveites or whatever. Yeah political bullshit is

[00:02:01] what it is. Yes so. Yes it is. That was a Zekeel chapter 44. Sure's buck one. And we are running late this week so obviously most of you are gonna be listening to this if you're up to date with everything on a

[00:02:13] Saturday which is not our normal day for these episodes. Right. And we apologize. We will still be doing a Q&A. It may be coming out on Sunday and I'm not sure 100% whether we're gonna be doing the

[00:02:29] Zatokites. Yeah that's the one, that's the one. But we'll see if we can we can if we can't we can't and we apologize in advance. Been a little bit of crazy week with me changing jobs

[00:02:40] and just different things going on so we apologize but that being said you ready to get into a Z-heel. What are we getting into today? Sorry I forgot that all up. I forgot that all up.

[00:02:54] We are getting into a Zekeel chapter 45. All right let's fucking do this shit. Okay dokey. Okay we are hopping into a Zekeel chapter 45 or as I affectionately call my dude easy-kile. Right. Big E. Yeah. Here we go and just want to reiterate that the final section of

[00:03:21] a Zekeel which is chapter 40 through 48 are often referred to as the Torah of a Zekeel. Okay. It's particularly because this is so Torah like and torture us. Right. Yes it definitely is. This is just some tedious bullshit over some stupid crap. It's Leviticus Light. Building

[00:03:45] shit and revamping the laws of Leviticus and like coming in. We up in the grift. Let's skip all this shit. We are also continuing where we left off. So first word it. I wonder how many chapters

[00:04:02] begin with them. Well this one doesn't start with them but it is a continuation of the previous section and we'll continue on into the next. Yeah. Okay so it doesn't start with them but it does

[00:04:15] start with when. And you do raise a good question. Yeah. Many chapters start with then. Right. All right. When you will lot the land as an inheritance you are to present to the Lord a portion of the land as a Seke where district 25,000 qubits long and 20,000 qubits wide.

[00:04:40] The entire area will be holy. Now I have some notes about this. Did your phasalics really confused? Did you have any difficulties? We have to donate land to the guy's to God mail. Here's

[00:04:51] the thing. Are you ready? Yeah. Okay so a section of the land was first set apart as God's portion and this was an acknowledgement that all the land was really God's it was really his. Okay.

[00:05:03] Within this portion was the temple surrounded by an open space to emphasize the separation of the holy things of God from the unclean things of um everyday life outside. Prease and leave heights were given first consideration in the resettlement arrangements so that they

[00:05:23] could be near to the temple and the portion of the land in which the temple was situated was given to the priest and a portion of the same size adjoining it is given to the leave heights. Okay. So

[00:05:35] this is when they rebuild the temple someday that they haven't done yet. Sure. And they reallot all the land. Okay. You know what I mean? They're like it's not just about rebuilding the temple.

[00:05:47] It's about bringing the people home where we're going to house them, how they're going to like what that land is going to look like and where they're all going to live and be. Okay. Okay.

[00:05:58] Right. So that's that's it's just like every one of these chapters is like going a little bit bigger as to how we're going to be dealing with this future prophecy coming true. See the way

[00:06:12] interpreting this is that it's just going to be the Zatakites getting like free land. Yeah, basically. I mean that's what it sounds like to me. Yeah. I mean they get the best land.

[00:06:20] Yeah for sure. For sure. Okay. So anyway there's a big portion of land that goes to the Lord. Okay. Yeah. Of this land that goes to the Lord. A section 500 cubits square is to be for the

[00:06:33] sanctuary with 50 cubits around it for open land. In the sacred district, measure off a section 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide in it will be the sanctuary the most holy place. Okay.

[00:06:49] It will be the sacred portion of the land for the priest. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Who minister in the sanctuary and who draw near to minister before the Lord? Of course. Yeah. You know. I mean

[00:07:02] they don't own anything but they but God owns lots of things for them. Including the best choices things in the land. They get the best food. They get to live in the pretty areas. This redistribution of goods sounds very biased towards certain groups of people that

[00:07:19] probably are in with the people on power. Like I said, Griffith is going to grip. Yeah. Yeah. Griffith may make McGill a cutie. Right. Right. It will be a place for their houses as well as a

[00:07:31] holy place for the sanctuary. An area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide will belong to the Levites who serve in the temple as their possession for towns to live in. You are to give the

[00:07:47] city as its property an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long at joining the sacred portion. It will belong to all Israel. Now they did I do remember that the Levites were to live in various

[00:08:04] cities and areas around Israel that they were to be given to them. Right. But those lands were separate from like they were outside of the areas that other people owned. They were just outside

[00:08:15] of the cities or in between cities or things like that. They were like written in kind of like right. And there wasn't like a specific amount of land that they were supposed to get either.

[00:08:25] Like this is very specific and I find it odd. It's almost like very specific. It's almost like they started with the building to make it feel like we're just going back to the beginning y'all

[00:08:36] to get everybody like on board and then like right, right? Everybody's like yeah, yeah, let's build this and then like the next chapter he's like and also we're gonna and God came in the easy. You can't

[00:08:49] go in the Eastgate. Yeah, yeah that tracks and then this one he's like and also we're giving land to them and they're like yeah. What's next? Yeah. A little bit more each time just to see

[00:09:05] what he can get away with right. No it definitely feels that way. You know like they could do they didn't have to they didn't even have a land to begin with. They they you know go to the Promised Land

[00:09:15] and then now it's just like the slow you know it's evolving to the slow grift of like what more can the priests take from people and not make it sound like they're taking more and more

[00:09:29] right? Right. The Prince will have the land bordering each the Prince being the King. Yeah. We'll have the land bordering each side of the area formed by the sacred district and

[00:09:41] the property of the city. It will extend westward from the west side and eastward from the east side running lengthwise from the western to the eastern border parallel to one of the tribal portions. This land will be his possession and Israel that King guy. Yeah. Okay. And my

[00:10:01] princess will no longer oppress my people but will allow the people of Israel to possess the land according to their tribes. So he's like you Kings are gonna behave now whenever that that someday happens. But why would people okay? I know he's gonna change their hearts. He's

[00:10:18] gonna bring them back. All these wonderful things are gonna happen right? But didn't we hear similar things before and it didn't work? Like we had shitty kings. We had somewhat okay kings. We had

[00:10:31] but he didn't say you Kings will be great. He actually pooped the idea of kings and was like on your game which even that is a little bit confusing, right? Like why are we all of a sudden okay

[00:10:45] with them and they're like godly and wonderful? I don't think that he's saying that the gods are that the kings are godly and wonderful. Okay. He's saying that God is telling the kings

[00:10:54] and you better behave unlike in the past. Okay. When you Kingly Fox were taken advantage of the people he's saying you are not going to oppress my people. Got it. You Kingly fuck. Okay. You get land

[00:11:10] you get to be in charge but as specifically says you will no longer oppress my people. So I don't think he's like happy with. No, I guess I'm just railing against the idea that he couldn't

[00:11:22] fix this before. Why is this time different? It's like the kid that cried wolf, right? You say something so many times we stop believing you. Absolutely 100%. I've definitely stopped believing the claims of this god saying that he's going to do these things because like yeah, you're like

[00:11:43] a fucking broken record. Yeah but your question like I feel like it changed the question. Your question was what is the deal with the king and why are we okay with kings? And the answer is he was never

[00:11:57] okay with kings and he still apparently isn't according to this phrasing. Okay. So that's the answer to your question. But why does he give them land to exist in that? If he's not okay with them,

[00:12:07] why doesn't he come up with another solution? Because I'm not a senator, or or there is the idea that apparently at this time it's going to be David or whatever is going to be the one leading

[00:12:19] this tribe at that point, right? Which is supposedly going to be a very godly king that's in the power. Okay and then there's that yeah. So I do feel like maybe there is some like he's

[00:12:31] placing somebody in that position that he trusts, right? Like that's that's maybe a possibility. But also I think that he does like give okay in can and pretending that this god exists merely for

[00:12:45] the purpose of the story. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, god does give the people rope to hang themselves with. They insisted on having kings and he's like you're not going to

[00:12:57] like it. It's going to be bad and they were like no, give us kings. And he was like fine, have some fucking kings, whatever. And so he's just letting them continue to have the kings that

[00:13:07] they insisted on having. He's like this is what you wanted. This is what you get. I guess I just the part that bothers me is that when the only thing it took for him to change people's hearts,

[00:13:18] to bring them back and make them better and rise them, raise them from the graves of their captivity in all this shit, right? Was that people were making fun of them? Yeah. I mean, you just it's such like it's such utter bullshit. It's such small humaneness. Yeah, yeah,

[00:13:34] I just I can't get behind any of these messages. No, I'm I understand and I agree with you. I can't understand how it priests or pastor or parishioner reads these texts and comes up with

[00:13:48] other things. You know, like I'm saying, I guess they it's like literally if you worship like you know how people like worship the Beatles or whatever or you know various other idols that

[00:13:59] people have that they worship like elders. Yeah, sure. I said, I'll let them know if you true like if you're in love with something to the fullest extent, right? I guess I can understand

[00:14:13] making excuses for it. But it's just you think you would still be able to at least admit that their flaws, right? Yeah. But it's so far gone and it's been so many apologists that takes that

[00:14:26] we can't even admit that there's flaws. The same people it's the same mentality, okay, that the people who cannot hear a flaw against God in the Bible and Christianity are the same people that

[00:14:41] cannot stand to hear anybody say a bad thing about America. No, I understand. And that's why those two groups have coalesced because the mentality is so similar. Right. They cannot hear you complain

[00:14:56] about that because they're like how dare it's perfect. And if you don't like it, don't let the door hit you in the ass. Right. They're going, la la, la la, don't challenge my ideas, la la la la la.

[00:15:06] I mean I don't know if you caught this when we were over at my dad, my mom and dad's house a few nights ago. Right. I keep bringing it up this week because it keeps being prevalent. But

[00:15:19] I was talking about the healthcare system. Yeah. And I mean, what was it? They had asked about something and I said, well, that's not covered by our insurance or something like that. Yeah. And then kid said something to the effect of that's because of our wonderful healthcare system.

[00:15:41] Right. I remember that. And I kind of was like, oh, that's not going to fly well. Right. My very Republican Christian parents. And my dad did respond to them. He said every country has a

[00:15:55] different healthcare system. And it's got its ups and it's got its downs. It's got its flaws. And imperfections and it's, you know, just like anybody else. So like he was allowing that there

[00:16:06] is some kind of bad in it. But we should not complain about it at all because it's still American and good and not being able to admit a flaw or a fallacy in the system means that you cannot seek

[00:16:20] to better it. I'm not saying that our healthcare system is best or the worst. I'm saying it's got a lot of work to do. And there's no reason in the world it can't be better given that this is

[00:16:34] America and as the Republicans and Christian American nationalists always say, the best fucking country on the planet. So surely the best country on the planet can find a way to improve our very flawed, obviously imperfect healthcare system. Well, except for that we have an entire political

[00:16:55] system at this point that cares nothing about actually fixing problems. They are the whole idea of what politics is at this point, especially with the Republican Party, is that they're just contrarian. They don't care if they actually ever do anything. No. It's what we'd not like about

[00:17:15] the other side. Right. There are either status quo or contrarian. Don't change it because if you change it, I might not be getting as much money or power and that would be bad. And it is about

[00:17:28] me by the way, me and my money and power. Oh yeah. And also, oh Obama or Biden or anybody on the other team said this, then suddenly the value I had yesterday has changed to the exact opposite

[00:17:42] of what it was in order to just be the opposite. No, they literally do that all the time. They're times when they will completely do a 360 on their viewpoint, just to be counter to the main

[00:17:56] party leaders in the Democratic Party. Yeah. And I'm like, what the fuck? I don't understand how anybody doesn't see through this bullshit. We can literally take you say one thing three days

[00:18:10] ago and something completely different today. And no one gives a fuck. Why does no one give a fuck? That's what I don't understand. That's what confounds me. Yeah. Like if I were to tell my parents,

[00:18:23] like Trump said this yesterday and this today. And those are exactly opposite from each other, moreover, his actions and words are exactly not who I've ever known you to be or represent or

[00:18:40] want to follow like either pre Christian era for you or post Christian era for you. So I'm really confused how you could support this person. Yeah. Please explain and their response would be

[00:18:54] something to the effect of, you know, oh, you wouldn't understand or oh, you're just bringing up a very contentious point and I don't want to get into it with you. Right. Or oh, you're taking things

[00:19:09] out of context. That's what that would be. Well, negative ideas are always easier to pitch and get people angry about than positive ideas. Right. If you're trying to make positive changes, that's not as sexy as something that sucks, right? Sucking cells. If you fucking I'm just saying

[00:19:30] sucky cells. If it bleeds it leads. Yeah. But I mean, if you if you are, if you're yelling at somebody, that's a lot more appealing to most people as far as entertainment value than somebody trying to

[00:19:42] work with somebody, right? Sure. So you get a lot more attention and it's sometimes negative attention but that negative attention leads to more views, which leads to more people maybe

[00:19:50] agreeing with your point of view or being swayed to your point of view or or even simply that you are a strong man who they are like, I don't care what he stands for. He's alpha male and I'm going to

[00:20:01] follow that because look at how much he yells and blusters. Right. You know, we love us a quote and quote, alpha male don't know whatever fuck that fuck that right. Alpha males are fucking

[00:20:12] they're cucks. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah, sorry. We got off on a bit of a tangent there. This is what sovereign Lord says. Okay. All right. You have gone far enough, princess of Israel. See, he's given

[00:20:23] him what for. Yeah. Yeah. Give up your violence and oppression and do what is just in right. Okay. Stop dispossessing my people to clear the sovereign Lord. But he's going to give them land. Yeah.

[00:20:36] Okay. All right. You are to use accurate scales and accurate e-faw and an accurate bath. Okay. It's just different measurements and stuff. Yeah. And he's saying don't cheat my people. Right. Correct scales. Yeah. The e-faw and the bath are to be the exact same size.

[00:20:56] The bath containing a tenth of a Homer and the e-faw, a tenth of a Homer. I'm trying to imagine this guy that created the sun and the universe and Neptune and he was in Hawkins. You know,

[00:21:07] crab Nebula who is worried about a tenth of an e-faw. Yeah. Like what the fuck is this? You know, a tenth of a Homer. I'm sorry. I would have written it. The things are, um,

[00:21:18] it's stupid is what it is. Yeah. Definitely e-faw's and Homer's. Sure. Okay. Yeah. And the Homer is to be the standard measure for both. Okay. Okay. Yeah. The sheckle is to consist of 20 fucking jeras. Okay. Yeah. Those jeras are 20 sheckles plus 25 sheckles plus 15 sheckles equal one

[00:21:39] minus Jesus Christ. Can you math? No, I can't. This is the special gift you are to offer a sixth of an eva from each Homer of wheat and a sixth of an eva from each Homer of barley.

[00:21:55] That was rough for you. It was because I cannot say sixth. I can't. Except for that I was listening to the smearlier podcast that we did and you did it just fine. I feel like I feel you did try. But yeah,

[00:22:07] I feel like it's like a mental block for you sometimes and not always though. Like sometimes it hits you and you're just like whatever. Just gonna say it and you say it. I tried really hard just then.

[00:22:16] You did? You said sixth. Six. Six. Okay. Anyway, the prescribed portion of olive oil measured by the bath is a tenth of a bath. I need a bath from each core which consists of ten baths or one

[00:22:34] Homer for ten baths or equivalent to a home card. This is like those math problems with their like three apples equals a clock. You know I'm talking about this. The ones where they do

[00:22:47] it on Facebook and they're like only aginius can get this right. Also one sheep is to be taken from every flock of 200 from the well-watered pastors of Israel. I would have to write this down and I

[00:23:01] don't care enough to. I mean they did it's in the fucking Bible. I know but for me too like I would need to write it in a column which you know what I mean and it would it would need to be notes that I wrote

[00:23:15] for me to be able to remember. Yeah and I just I can't hold all of these things in my head. Well, I'm sure this was much more of a daily practice for people so I'm sure they like much like making

[00:23:27] change from cash. I'm sure it was like pretty simple for more simple than we would have time trying to figure it out. Sure when you said making change for a second I thought you were

[00:23:40] going to say making love and I like a think of was that air supply song making love out of nothing at all. And so the whole time you were talking my mind was going make in love out of nothing at all.

[00:24:02] So I kind of missed what you were saying but I think that I got the better and as the conversation honestly these will be used for the green offerings, burn offerings and fellowship

[00:24:13] offerings all the offerings you know to make a tone for the people you know because they suck. Well what I'm why is he telling the kings to be fair in their weights when

[00:24:22] these are the offerings which will be done by the priests? Because I don't know. What is that what does the king have to do with any of that that leads me to believe that the king

[00:24:31] ends up with some of these offerings but we're not being told that. That would be my guess. I don't know. But tell me I'm probably on the right track here. Why would the king care about making the weights way lesser more or whatever if he wasn't

[00:24:50] giving something to the cast? Oh because okay here's the deal. The king is in charge of receiving the offerings from the people and then the king takes the offerings from the people and gives

[00:25:04] in representation of the people to the priests. I read that in my note somewhere and I didn't understand how to apply it and now I just got what it is. Yeah so he's saying kings you need

[00:25:20] to have these equal don't be skimming off the top is basically what it comes to. Sure. The kings were like you know taking more than they were supposed to so they could pocket the extra.

[00:25:33] Yeah I got it. Okay. These will be used for the grain offerings burn offerings and fellowship offerings to make a tone for the people to clear the sovereign Lord. All the people of the land

[00:25:43] will be required to give this special offering. Okay to the prince in Israel. Okay. It will be the duty of the prince to provide the burn offerings, grain offerings and drink offerings at the festivals,

[00:25:58] the new moons and the Sabbath. Okay. At all the appointed festivals of Israel. Oh okay so like he collects everything from the people and then like um uses that money for the pizza party.

[00:26:12] How did the king get the job? Like god doesn't even like the kings. How did the king get the job of collecting all the taxes? For the for the god. It just does I don't know. Okay. God's like whatever

[00:26:23] I guess this is what we do. We have a fucking king. Okay. I'm just checking. I mean you've seen that way. It seemed why I don't recall them saying that before with regard to the kings being the immediate

[00:26:32] between the uh because like they would tell people they would have people going to the gates of the temple as I recall it in like the little of the little ones that they were describing. This seems like

[00:26:43] a different practice like something's changed. Yeah it's just making it this is the administrative way that they're doing it now. Right and all the text I mean I think it's politics because

[00:26:56] it's the kings are scraping off the top they're taking some sort of cut for what they're doing and they're just you know the only the only beef they have with them at this point is that

[00:27:05] they were they were taking too much off the top. Okay. Right like that's how I'm feeling about what they're saying here is that it's just they were taking too much of a cut. So they're saying

[00:27:13] you're cheating on top of taking your cut so you stop that. You stop taking any cut. Right well no I don't that guarantee they're taking a cut. But he but a goddess in don't take any cut.

[00:27:24] Yeah well I mean it's the end of the Bible. What King is going to do that amount of work for for nothing. I don't fucking know. Doesn't seem correct to me. I don't know. I'm just telling you what

[00:27:33] is said. Yeah I'm just telling you what I don't believe. There enough he will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to make a tone meant for the Israelites. Okay. Like I said he's throwing the pizza party. Right right. This is what

[00:27:50] the sovereign Lord says. All right. In the first month on the first day you are to take a young bull without defect and purify the sanctuary. The priest is to take some of the blood of the

[00:28:02] sin offering and put it on the door post of the temple on the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar and on the gate post of the inner court, you know how we spread blood everywhere. Yeah

[00:28:13] because that's fun, you know. Yes. You are to do the same on the seventh day of the month for anyone who sins unintentionally or through ignorance. I didn't know that beige belong to somebody

[00:28:26] else when I raped her. I didn't know my wife has started her period. I didn't know. Okay. I didn't know when I killed that goat that it was my neighbors. Right. I didn't know. Yeah. Oopsie. There's a

[00:28:40] unintentional unknown sense. Okay. I got it. Yeah. I did a mean to you know whack off at night. I feel like I feel like I feel like that would have the intentional. I woke up and there was

[00:28:54] sperm all over me. Yeah. I mean, you know, you have not turned all emissions right? Not turned all emissions, man. Sure. I came in my sleep. I can't help it. Right. I woke up and there I was with a

[00:29:06] stiffy. Yeah. What you going to do? Yeah. So you are to make a tone meant for the temple. Okay. All right. In the first month of the 14th day, you are to observe the Passover, a festival

[00:29:19] lasting seven days during which you shall eat bread made without yeast as you do. Right. On that day, the prince is to provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.

[00:29:33] Every day during the seven days of the festival, he has to provide seven bulls and seven rams without defect as a burn offering to the Lord and a male goat for sin offering. A lot of

[00:29:45] slaughter in the time of the temple. So much. Feel like it couldn't have been that clean there. How to stink and be dirty and have some late flies? Yeah. He is to provide as a green offering

[00:29:59] and eifa for each bull and an eifa for each ram along with a hand of olive oil for each eifa. Okay. Sure. During the seven days of the festival, which begins in the seventh month

[00:30:13] on the 15th day, he has to make the same provision for sin offerings, burn offerings, grain offerings and oil the end. Okay. So we're literally back. I mean, we're no wonder they call us the tour of as he killed. Yeah. Like this is literally basically like reading

[00:30:29] the Vitticus except for instead of it being made by what felt like it was the people. Right. Now it's just as he kills, making up his own rolls. Right. And that's why it feels like this is like

[00:30:40] well, like I said in the name of the last chapter where I was like, this is as he killed trying to make you know, God greater than whatever right and it's just he keeps bringing like this is all

[00:30:48] old school is really, you know, bullshit that was happening early on in the Torah and it's the same things are happening in Christianity now where people are trying to bring back like the

[00:31:03] old testament stuff, right? And they're trying to revive some of these ideas that were in the old testament and they're like, we need to go back to punishment and you know, like forget this

[00:31:12] piece bullshit. You know, but it's just that people love to punish them. Like I think they like the idea of people being punished for things and they never see themselves as being the person

[00:31:25] that should be in that role that gets punished. Well, especially your white male, why would you write it? Right. You see yourself from a perspective of privilege and that's why your your

[00:31:35] your immune to that, right? Sure. Doesn't it's not going to affect you. Very exciting to watch other people be but yeah, but yeah, I really do believe that part of this is kind of what we were talking

[00:31:44] about earlier where people like the negativity they like the idea of people being punished. Yeah. That's why we like that's why people like to watch those gladiator fights back in Roman times whatever. That's why we like to watch people in fear factor. Yeah. You know, like it's

[00:31:59] we like to see people suffer. Suffer. I mean, it's we being humanity. Right. Not yay. We mean you. No, no. I think that reality should I hate that crap. I cannot stand reality TV. That's just my

[00:32:12] personal opinion if you like reality TV more power to you but I can't I can't do it. I can't do it. So I can't do most regular time TV honestly. Yeah. It's funny. Do we call that?

[00:32:25] Prime time TV. Prime time TV. The stuff that just is on the regular channels. Yeah. Right. Boy sure. Yeah. Network TV. Network TV. I can't stand it. So I mean, I like my I like my God's to be proven

[00:32:40] and I like my shows to be fictional. Yeah. No, that's how that's all one of my life to work. And moreover, I don't like commercials. So if I can pay for a platform to not have commercials,

[00:32:55] I will do that. Right. And if I can't, I need them. I will also watch a good documentary. I love documentary. I love documentary. It's a good. Yeah. I've been watching one on like the early

[00:33:13] evolution of the planet with the toddler that I babysit. Okay. And of course it's narrated by Morgan Freeman. They all are. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it's really interesting. Yeah. It's really cool stuff.

[00:33:26] I mean, even though I know a lot of that, I mean, we all know how life started on doing it. I mean, creationists, flatterists. Okay. I mean those of us who are into that sort of thing. Yeah.

[00:33:41] Reality. Yeah. It's cool to watch these things because more information always becomes available. And so every decade there's a new. Yeah. No, it is interesting how things evolve over time too. I mean, that's that. That's that. That's for time. Including information. Yeah. But that's the

[00:34:04] part that Christians will rail against you about, right? They're like, well, science doesn't always get to write. No, it doesn't. We never, we never, we never claim to get it right every time.

[00:34:15] Science is not to get it right. Science is point is to keep learning more. What about science is point is to keep learning what we got wrong. Yes. That's that's what science is all about. Yes.

[00:34:27] Like we don't prove what's right. We prove what's wrong and the beauty of science is that most science is curious enough to challenge most ideas, right? And that's, and it's usually like

[00:34:39] some of the bigger ideas out there, we're not going to prove wrong, but we might tweak the idea of how we view them, right? And that's the, that's the really interesting thing to me about science

[00:34:49] is that we endeavor to learn as much as possible about how we are here, why things happen and all this. And it just intrigues me to know end. I will do this in front of people all the time. Like

[00:35:06] one of my favorite things is just one of the easiest science experiments you can do is you take a piece of paper. And this is I do this all the time of you. Because especially if I'm talking

[00:35:17] to somebody who's like anti science or whatever, you know? I'm like, okay, watch this and I blow over top of the piece paper and then the paper rises, right? Well it's Bernoulli's principle. And

[00:35:27] that's what makes planes fly, right? And we know because of science, we know this because of science, because somebody decided, hey, how does this work? Why does this do this thing? How does this apply

[00:35:40] in real life? How do we make this commercial application? What do we do with this, right? It's that's what this is. And it's not to say that that idea even won't evolve in scope, but

[00:35:54] it is still a principle that we can apply to make things work. And that's what's amazing about science. Yeah, that's all. Well I learned that during the early early stages of the planet forming,

[00:36:09] that the majority of the earliest types of sharks and other sea creatures, they died out in the second mass extinction because so much water had had melted and become available that the greening of the

[00:36:30] planet they called it, that all of the plants and stuff became just blue into existence on the dry parts of the land. And this created an over abundance of plankton and

[00:36:45] suffocated the sea. And it suffocated the seas. And so the shark as we know it today was like one of those that's squeaked by, otherwise would we'd have no sharks. Interesting, interesting. And in this

[00:36:59] process there was one early, early, really, really cool looking old ancestor of of shark that is not really, it's not even considered part of the shark family. It's so distant, but it was shark

[00:37:15] like, but his head was shaped like a rectangle and he had like a really sour, just mean look on his face. I mean sharks in general do just look mad. They look like cranky fucks. Right? And this particular

[00:37:28] one is called a like dunkle is something or other. And so this three year old and I we could never remember what it was called, so we just kept calling it a dunkling because you know close enough

[00:37:39] whatever. Yeah. And so he wanted me to draw the dunkling and the thing is is that's not what I do. Like I don't draw. I don't draw like it all kid draws. Kid draws. Yeah. You do okay. I can. I can

[00:37:54] actually do really good at like sketching things that I look at. So like not really good. I do passable. Yeah, yeah. But I don't enjoy it and I'm not good at it. Right. And it's just something

[00:38:06] I don't love doing. Right. And he threw a fit until I would draw the dunkling. So I tried to draw it and then he got angry with me because it was his bat and worse as I knew it would be. I was art-shamed

[00:38:22] by a three year old. That's awesome. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Good times. Meets for a good story. But yeah, Morgan Freeman it's on Netflix. I forget what it's called. It's something like this planet or

[00:38:35] our planet, something like that. Right. Show if you're trying to learn more about evolution and how life got here. Right. And the dunkling is in the second half of the second episode. There you go.

[00:38:48] There you go. Something to look forward to. All right. Well, I think we have beat this chapter to death with everything. I think we have avoided. Yeah. We avoided the chapter as much as possible. Sorry for

[00:39:00] all the rambling everybody. I'm not sorry. It was fun. Yeah. I was a fun. Yeah. So that was as he killed chapter 45. It sure is fuck was. And more than likely it'll be Sunday before we get the

[00:39:12] Q&A out. So we'll be back on Sunday then with our Q&A, not on Saturday. Maybe someday. Right. And then we may do the sacrilege book club and then I'll definitely go weekly wrap up out this week

[00:39:30] and then we'll be back on Monday with a Zeekeel chapter 46. All right. We'll see you then. Bye!
