Macrophage finds out whether God knows what he would have done had he been an amoeba instead by critically analyzing the alternate feasible world where Nick Donald's has an ice cream machine that always works.

Ep. 12 - Interview: Randy Hernandez, Killer of Mice

Macrophage talks with scientist Randy Hernandez about ancient historical records and the age of the earth, theistic evolution and "random" mutations, his research on Alzheimer's and dementia, and how it's okay to murder untold thousands of adorable mice as long as you feel bad about it.

Ep. 11 - Response to Gavin Ortlund

Macrophage lazily rips the audio from a couple of Youtube videos from several months ago to generate fresh content...depending on your definition of "fresh." Gavin Ortlund did a couple videos criticizing YEC, and fun was had by all. Also included in the links are a few subsequent videos in the potentially ongoing saga. 1.)
