#19: Drew McCoy on Skepticism and Searching for Evidence Before You Believe
Manage episode 224030755 series 2438519
Jeff chats with Drew McCoy from popular Youtube channel Genetically Modified Skeptic. Drew is an atheist, but even more than that, a skeptic. He has strict standards of evidence and holds doubt as a virtue. In this episode, we discuss his experience growing up a devout fundamentalist Christian in Texas, what caused him to start one of the leading "skeptic" Youtube channels in the world, and how compassion may be the key to heal the country's political divide.
