Topics this week:

• An Atlantic article on Elaine Pagels' new book, "Miracles and Wonder." Is she downplaying the supernatural? This episode dives into her controversial take on New Testament miracles.
• Florida teacher fired for using a student's preferred name without parental consent. Where do parental rights collide with student support?
• Scientists have brought back the dire wolf. Is this a cool breakthrough or a recipe for disaster? We debate the ethics of de-extinction.
• Are embryos property? Are they human life? The Alabama court ruling ignited a firestorm, and we're tackling the tough questions.
• Listener Question: Martin Luther King Jr.: Hero or flawed figure? We address a listener's challenge and discuss how to reconcile King's legacy with his imperfections.
• Listener Questions: Psychedelics: Are they safe? We pump the brakes on the hype, exploring potential harms and the principle of double effect.

Apologies for the late publishing this week — our production team was busy with a large event on Thursday and Friday.
