Episode #304: Mark Aaron Alsip

Mark Alsip is a computer scientist and former fundamentalist Young Earth Creationist. Indoctrinated at the age of 6, conflicts soon arose over his love of science. Mark is alarmed at the intrusion of fundamentalism into all aspects of our society (especially government), believing it has led to book bans, science denial, anti-LGBTQ legislation, and denial of women's reproductive rights. His new book, "Journey to Reason" describes how he broke free from fundamentalism and offers a stark warning of its dangers to society. Mark also writes the long-running Bad Science Debunked blog (https://www.BadScienceDebunked.com), where he does lighthearted takedowns of urban legends, science denial, and the abundance of misinformation available on social media.
