In this first Ask Me Anything (AMA) Dr. Shermer attempts to answer as many questions as possible in a reasonable time among the hundreds submitted by readers. There were so many good ones, in fact, that he will produce a second AMA on these, as well as new ones submitted when we put out a call shortly. In AMA # 1 the questions are roughly grouped in the following categories:

• Science and Skepticism
• God, Jesus, and Religion
• Free Will
• Jordan Peterson
• Human Nature
• Future of Humanity
• Miscellaneous
