Reptoids

Very much enjoyed the reptoid podcast, but you mispronounced David Icke's name.

It's not 'Ickes'; it's 'Icke' (rhymes with 'Mike').

Not that it makes him any less peculair.

I liked it also.
I actually listened to it with my mother.
Her comments "that's why the world is so interesting"
She just shaked her head when you stated that these guys "found" underground tunnels.

Oh! Now that I have the chance, this is a subject that isn't talked about or criticises that often.

Raelism. This religion that believes that human beings were put here on Earth through millions of years of scientific research by human looking extraterrestrials.
It all started with this guy who now calls himself Rael because he went into these guys' spaceships in where he got information all of the information.
And he "actually" went to their planet and describes it in his book, which by the way is free to be read on the internet.

He gives this 3rd way of understanding the universe. It's a sort of alien intelligent design. they consider themselves atheists because the aliens said so.

There are a few criticisms on the internet but I guess you could bring it up to the surface so people could have a go at it.

Hope you did get the episode on Raelians. It was a great suggestion, thanks. Lots of fun researching that one.
