The most important sceintific laws are respected and accepted as true by most, in fact our view of the world is often unintentionally shaped by our acceptance of these laws. In its strictest sense, even the law of gravity has been disproved, yet laws so ingrained in our consciousness as this cannot even be dispelled by their falsification. How does any one person convince an entire population of any belief to this degree? The answer is, they do not. Behind every theory there is an entire population of scientists providing credence to those hypotheses tested, yet ready to disprove them with every experiment performed. How does this community operate? What rules do they use and how do they agree on anything? These questions and more will be answered on the first Nature Boy lacking our fearless leader Michael. To fill the void in all our hearts, we've invited Jon and Teresa,  two graduate students with hearts of gold and minds of genius. Do they compare to the dulcet tones of our missing mesiah? You decide!

It's an inconvenient truth (get it?) that our rapidly growing population is outpacing our ability to produce the resources they require. Or is the real issue the amount of resources each individual requires? The Nature Boy gang will tackle this and other hard-hitting questions in this episode of your favorite podcast!

Scope this episode out! Evolution is the topic of this episode of Nature Boy, and that first line is a reference to the Scopes monkey trial, in which substitute teacher John Scopes was found guilty of violating a Tennessee law forbidding the teaching of our topic in public schools. Have things changed? Has the modern public's understanding of this topic evolved? Well, naturally select play on your listening device and find out!
