HIGH in the CANOPY

John and Merrilee dive into probability vs fact. There was a reason however, the reason was immediately lost in the weeds. John argues for science and Merrilee argues for God. Of course, they are both correct in the context of their arguments however, neither of these people enjoy giving any ground. The learning in this segment is that a man and a woman can argue for a solid hour and walk away, smiling. John and Merrilee fight for positions that exist in metaphysics and physics that are difficult to explain unless the listener is willing to accept the speaker's position. Merrilee is skillful in holding her position by simply reminding John that he’s wrong. John is not accustomed to being told he’s wrong, as his high school debate team has the longest-standing win record in high school debate now as a matter of record in the Library of Congress. And yet with that background, Merrilee keeps John spinning with the most sophisticated technique in debate. True to her form of operating like Occam‘s razor, she steps momentarily away from logic and simply tells her opponent - he’s wrong and waits for a response. Merrilee shoots God like a pair of six guns at the OK corral. What we have is Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill Cody over a couple of rounds at the cowboy bar. It’s John and Merrilee every day on Spotify.
