Discussion of the Screen Argument with Philosophy Professor

I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Joel Velasco, an Assistant Professor in Philosophy at Texas Tech University. Dr. Velasco specializes in the philosophy of science, biology, and epistemology, and he also has a firm grasp of many of the arguments related to philosophy of religion. More info on Dr. Velasco can be found here: http://joelvelasco.net/. Also present was a good friend of mine, Neil.

We met to discuss the "Screen Argument", which I have been writing on frequently.
