Steve Post and his guest, anthropologist and songwriter Richard Milner, discuss the evolutionary impact of American politics (mostly bad), religion’s influence on public affairs (mostly bad), and the descent of man in the form of candidate Mike Huckabee (mostly bad). Steve raises the question, Is creationism uniquely a Christian phenomenon? (Actually, he says “Christian development,” because he just couldn’t quite get “phenomenon” out of his mouth.) The answer will appall you, so don’t miss it. It will keep your bile boiling for days. And what else is The NO SHOW all about?
