In this episode Keith and Nate talk about different theories as to how human life got here, Why we are here, and the implications those have on the existence of a god, or gods. Could evolution have been the most viable answer to how we came to be here? Was it really all a divine plan from the beginning of time? Or could the anthropologists be correct in their assumptions that we simply evolved into the current state of being that we are currently in? And if so, what does that mean for our future?
