I really enjoy this series and how logically and kindly Clint approaches differing views. He is setting an amazing example of how discourse should be conducted for any differing views on any topic. This also hits close to home in a roundabout way. I've been atheist my entire life but my best friend, who I've know since elementary for almost 30 years, and her family are lifelong LDS and she is a molecular biologist, her mother is a virologist, and her father was a microbiologist. I was lucky enough to grow up experiencing their dual acceptance of science and God. I was therefore taken aback in university about how vehemently most people fell on both sides of the topic and have avoided participating in the discourse since because I would get crap from both sides as if science and belief could never be compatible. It is a little odd to say, but these videos warm my heart and give me hope. But most importantly, I would like to know Gus-gus's perspective. Is it a yellow target or head scratch response?

William Hasker has one of the best arguments for evolution and god both being correct and real

Gosh I was so excited for these when I got the patreon notification that I had to force myself to watch them at a godly hour, not at 3 am. All of you on the Clint's Reptile team are just WONDERFUL for continuing to approach this topic with this particularly brilliant format and I'm sending you all virtual hugs.

Until recently I have consistently stated my position, as such, as "atheist". I've now basically 'evolved' into what I describe as "agnostic". I've done so because I've realized I've no 'proof', one way or the other, as to whether there exists anything we might term as a 'god'. I've no idea what a 'god' is, or would be. I will say the 'god' story, as represented in our cultural milieu, e.g., the Bible, is not believable, simply from any understanding of human nature and logic. I appreciate your forthrightness in stating your position. I suppose it's not without some professional, or monetary, risk but so be it. Thanks!

Was really glad to hear you believed in God and are the dedicated scientist you are. I do not believe those two things are mutually exclusive and respect your videos immensely. You’ve taught me soooo much!

I am atheist and have no problem with you believing in God. I find it is important to surround yourself with people of different world views.

I have no problem with the fact you believe in God, I don't see why anyone would. I'm on the fence about it, sometimes I lean more one way or the other. The only thing I dislike about religion is how it's used to justify hatred and bigotry against others, we all need to respect each other.
