Rational View Podcasts

Lecture by Mel Lipman who is the president of the American Humanist Association.

During my interview with Dr. John Allen Paulos I ask him many questions pertaining to math and skepticism. We discuss his view on the philosophy of math, the beauty of math, and how math is misused by the pseudosciences among other topics. We discuss a point or two also about his new book Irreligion, A Mathematician Explains Why The Arguments For God Just Don't Add Up.

I cover a little news, a personal story and about how I made a classic mistake. I cover Wallbuilders, some Einstein quotes, and a brief warning about the upcoming Ben Stein movie expelled. Check out my blog by googling "rational factor" and weblog for show notes and other freethought sites. Or copy and paste http://therationalfactor.wordpress.com/

Just a quick update on where I've been.

I cover several math related stories that I have read about over the years and would like to share. Math is a beautiful aspect of nature and our lack of understanding it leads us to not taking it seriously. There is some freethought related news and math stories that I would like to share plus a little math game that I developed.
