The Exquisite Truth is a bi-weekly audio podcast. In each episode, we come together to discuss the nature of rational thought in everyday life. Your hosts are, Kevin Pierce and Vania Smirkovski. Together, Kevin and Vania cover the spectrum from hard-line atheist to inquisitive agnostic. In each episode, our panelists join us to explore questions of religion, atheism, alternative medicine, education, and anything else under the sun. The Exquisite truth asks the hard question of atheism, and faith. We look at the real value of a religious life, and investigate alternative modes of understanding our world. We pull back the curtain from the world of reality, and slaughter the sacred cows. No subject is safe from our critical analysis.
Episode 007 Show Notes
Tony Ford and Jeff Pierce join Kevin this week.
This week we examine a new report from the EPA, Explore the impact of medical science on evolution, and address the question of whether or not atheism is a religion.
This week's The Bible Says WHAT!? comes from Matthew 24:29-34
[T]he sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. . . . They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. . . . I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. If we are to take this verse at face value, I guess we have to assume that we are all leftovers, and the really good people all went up to Heaven a couple thousand years ago. I guess we can all stop waiting for that bus to show up.
As always, we close out the show with the Refrigerator Haiku.
Some people trickle
Only later they blossom
Always happy sleep

We introduce a new segment this week, called The Bible Says WHAT!?
This is our own version of bible study. We'll look at some of the lesser known passages of the bible, and learn what the theists are not telling us about God's will.
This week, we are looking at a contradiction. You know, those things they say don't exist in the Bible. Our first verse is,
2 Kings 2:11
As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
Then, there's,
John 3:13
No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man
