yes most of the material is recycled from XFM but keep in mind this is from a national radio station broadcast, not just XFM which only covered London over FM radio. When this went out, I would guess 95% of the listeners had never heard of Karl before. It also explains why they aren't swearing or saying anything too controversial.

@skeleetoon

3 жыл бұрын

It's not so much the fact they recycle stories, it's that they're acting like it's the first time they've been told. And honestly I don't buy that they forgot, you don't simply forget something like Karl's theory about gay people going out late especially since there was only a few months gap between this and xfm series 4. Point is it seems a bit faked which I guess they did to appeal to the new radio 2 audience

You can rule out creationism, it's easy... the world is not 6000 years old, that's a fact as a geneticist you should be aware of that. Do you consider the Bible a reliable source? That is the only source one has to go on when considering the existence of a "God". It was written in a time when people didn't even understand what a molecule is.... I can understand the wonder and mystery that would spawn an idea such as that but it's based on blind hope and a world without science
