Find out how the biblical story of Christ's birth is internally inconsistent, incongruous with known history, borrowed from other legends, and why none of it is reliable. Including a look at the biblical text itself, the "prophecies" that are claimed to be fulfilled by New Testament authors, and pre-existing mythology that got wrapped up into the Christmas story we’ve all heard. Plus, a hilarious alternate telling of the story from the 2nd century that you won't hear in Sunday School!  Taped at CFI-Los Angeles

Journalist and author Nina Burleigh discusses a scheme to modify actual archaeological objects or create entirely new ones to make them appear to verify biblical characters or stories, including the materiality of Christ and the existence of Solomon's Temple. Taped at CFI-Los Angeles

Theoretical cosmologist Sean Carroll, a senior research associate in physics at Caltech, discusses how the ultimate explanation is to be found in cosmology: special conditions in the early universe are responsible for the arrow of time. He talks about the nature of time, the origin of entropy, and how what happened before the Big Bang may be responsible for the arrow of time we observe today. Taped at CFI-Los Angeles

Science has never been more crucial to deciding the political issues facing America. Yet science and scientists have less influence with the federal government than at any time since the Eisenhower administration. In the White House and Congress today, findings are reported in a politicized manner: spun or distorted to fit the speaker's agenda; or, when they're too inconvenient, ignored entirely.  Taped at CFI-Los Angeles

Dr. John Shook, vice president and senior research fellow at the Center for Inquiry-Transnational in Amherst, N.Y., discusses three main types of theologies and examines the debates about the existence of nature; the problem of evil, and the essence of morality.  Taped at CFI-Los Angeles

CFI-Los Angeles Honorary Chair  Eddie Tabash squares off with Christian evangelist Dr. Jason Gastrich in a rematch of their 2004 debate in San Diego. Tabash presents the latest and greatest arguments for scientific naturalism, the philosophy that holds that the universe is all there is, and that God and the supernatural are human constructs.

(2 separate discs)

First Disc: Dan Barker from FFRF (Freedom From Religion Foundation) at the University Irvine in  Feb 2009.  Dan speaks about his book and how he became an atheist after being a minister for over 10 years.

Second Disc: Dan speaks at Saddleback College,  Feb 23, 2009 about the history of the mythical Jesus. He is very articulate in his speaking and very knowledgeable on the subject.

These two discs are very good for the atheist wanting to know more information on how Christian's think and about how to support the fact that Jesus was simply made-up by religious men in the 1st century. these are the discs I give Christians that have no clue that there are BILLIONS of people that do not believe the same way they do. Dan is an inspiration to all atheists.
