Joe Folly, welcome back to the show.

Well, thank you very much. Good to be here.

You're an atheist?

Yes, I'm an idiot.

We have asked our respective followers for questions that atheists cannot answer.

And today, well, we're going to try and answer them. Well, I notice it's a good

follow-up. I feel that we meet up every couple of months an attempt to destroy our own

worldviews. So this is a good follow-on from those conversations.

That's right, we should make a regular thing of it.

If you follow me on Twitter or I suppose

there was a YouTube community post,

and I think you posted posted on YouTube as well.

We ask for questions and these could be from atheists, it could be from theists.

The idea is questions that traditionally I thought of as questions that atheists in particular struggle to answer.

Beginning with what is perhaps the most foundational question, not just of the philosophy of

religion, but of all, why is there something rather than nothing?

Yes, I mean it's, you go big or go home for the first question.

I think that, I think this is a very interesting one in the sense that it almost sneaks in a really cool presupposition that I think

that I've seen some atheists disagree on.

It's like why is there something rather than nothing? He's asking if there is a reason why there is something rather than nothing, right?

And it assumes that that's a question with a sensible answer.

And I have heard some atheists say essentially do do the response of, well what do you mean by that?
