God or Not - Ep 005: Extraordinary Claims

What does it mean to say "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"? Is it an attempt to shut down an argument before it is even made, or is it simply holding up claims to a fair standard of proof? Scott and Jamie dive deep into the weeds discussing the kind and amount of evidence needed to warrant belief in something extraordinary.

In "Spin the Wheel", Scott and Jamie surprise each other with burning questions on "What kind of documentary would you make" and "Exorcism".

As further study Scott recommends the book “The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark” by Carl Sagan, and Jamie recommends the book “Forensic Faith” by J. Warner Wallace.
