Who better to explain atheism than the board members of the Minnesota Atheists? I will be at the State Fair for a discussion on the definitions and implications of atheism with George Kane, August Berkshire and Laura Hutt. We will have an open microphone, too, for you to come up and ask questions of atheists. What do we believe? What don't we believe? If there is no God, then who made everything? (Sorry, that's a trick question.) What is the best approach to discuss issues with believers? How many angels can dance on a stick at the State Fair.
We know the answers to some, but not all of these questions and we invite you to join us at the KTNF booth at the State Fair prior to your day of stuffing yourself and checking out lambs being born.
"Atheists Talk" is produced by The Minnesota Atheists. August Berkshire is the director and Mike Haubrich
is the host for today's show.

Is there a ghost in my house? Is there a ghost in any house? What are ghosts? On this show we have a ghosthunter turned skeptic as our very own Todd Torkelson explains the answers to these questions and more. Todd spent his teens and early twenties renting "haunted" hotel rooms, leading ghost tours and investigating the paranormal in his hometown of Albuquerqe, New Mexico. Somewhere, he took a left turn and turned skeptical of the paranormal. He became skeptical of many things and is now an active member fo the Minneapolis Skeptics, the Humanists of Minnesota and the Minnesota Atheists.
Todd is a speaker on the subject of skepticism; he explains how it works and how to approach claims critically. We want to know whether or not atheists are all good skeptics and whether or not all skeptics are atheists. Please listen to learn what we say is the truth.

Lucy, Ardi, Frodo, and us: what old bones and new genetics are revealing today .
Who
are these people and can we call them family? Listen to Greg Laden and
Lynn Fellman discuss how recent fossil and tool discoveries are changing
the shape of our family tree.
A
report earlier this week showed evidence for stone tool use at 3.39
million years ago — much earlier than previously thought.
In
addition to ancient bones and tools, genetics is filling some of the
pre-historic knowledge gaps. For instance, genetic material from 40,000
year old bones show that some of us are one to four percent
Neanderthal.
As
a biological anthropologist, Greg Laden has insight into how the recent
finds are challenging intrenched ideas. He'll talk about what new
trends are changing our understanding of human evolution. Taking us
through past and recent discoveries, Greg's engaging way of thinking
critically about the mixing of bones and genes reveal a remarkable and
controversial family story.
Lynn
Fellman is a member of Minnesota Atheists and an independent artist
inspired by evolution and genetics. You can see her work on display at
UROC now through December. Commissioned by the University of Minnesota,
the exhibit are DNA portraits of Native American, African American, Laos
and others from the Northside community. See the art online at:

Conversion is the process through which a person's orientation on reliigion changes. How do people turn from and to new religious groups, ways of life, systems of belief and modes of relating to a deity or a the nature of reality. Dr. Grant Steves will be with me in the studio to discuss faith, conversion and deconversion with a dollop of religious indoctrination.
Dr. Grant Steves is a member of the Minnesota Atheists. He has a doctorate in Theology, and is an atheist. Mike Haubrich is a director on the board of the Minnesota Atheists, a former Catholic and deconverted evangelical Christian.

Lee Strobel wrote his book The Case for Christ, masquerading as a skeptic, back in 1998, Strobel talked to theologians and biblical scholars to come to the conclusion there is sufficent extra-biblical support for the existence of Jesus Christ Robert M. Price read the book and found the evidence to be shy of convincing. He found the reasoning weak, the facts sketchy and a great deal to counter Rev. Strobel's conclusions.
Price wrote a chapter by chapter refutation, The Case Against the Case for Christ, and is going to discuss the book.
