A 58-year-old Atheist Adam Curry who set out to debunk God as a conspiracy theory tells Joe Rogan why he now believes. Adam: I've looked at every conspiracy theory: the moon landing, 9/11, JFK. The one I'd never looked at was God. I'm 58, and I've never been a religious guy. I started reading and asking questions of a couple of Christians I work with. They answered, and nobody pushed anything on me. There's a huge amount written about Jesus, including contemporary books like Evidence That Demands a Verdict. Adam: I'll tell you, Joe, it changed my outlook on life. It may sound weird coming from me, but I'm all in. Prayer is powerful. It makes me a very happy person. Joe Rogan: Writing about a thing doesn't mean it happened. Lots of people review and write about The Shining, but that doesn't make it real. How would you know a guy who lived 2,000 years ago was the Son of God? Adam: I'm not saying I can prove it. I read for three weeks, and the evidence kept coming. Everyone's flawed, and you're forgiven as long as you try to be better. For me it's about love. Joe: Do you think it's like psychological software you can run? Is that why it's effective, because you don't freak out when things aren't smooth? Adam: The code is the Bible. I hadn't thought of it that way, but I like it. Joe: You could prove people believed it. You couldn't prove he was the Son of God. Adam: Of course not. And if he was, we're all children of God. Joe: I'm with that. He set out to debunk it like any other conspiracy theory. He says the evidence went the other way.

Elon Musk paid his ex-wife $4 million in 2012. Then he married her again, and in 2016 he paid her $16 million more. It started with a 22-year-old actress, a hotel room and a handshake instead of a ring. In the video below, Talulah Riley tells what happened in the room that night, and why she said yes to a man she had known for ten days. She was a young British actress. He was a tech guy nobody at her film premieres recognized. On their first night he asked, very politely, if he could put his hand on her knee. The next morning he asked her to breakfast. After breakfast he asked her to lunch. After lunch, dinner. Then he invited her back to his hotel room to look at rocket videos. She assumed that was a line. It wasn’t. He sat her down and showed her rocket videos. A few days later he told her he didn’t want her to go home. He wanted to marry her. He apologized for not having a ring. So they shook hands on it. She says she thought that was simply how love worked. Her own father had told her mother he’d marry her at the end of their first date. What she got next was not a fairy tale. She moved straight into a house with his children. Tesla was days from running out of money. Every evening he came home and said tomorrow that’s it. There was a website counting down the days until Tesla died. He was screaming in his sleep and trying to climb out of bed to escape something. He gave her a way out. He told her this would be the hard path and she didn’t have to stay for it. She stayed. She says she spent those years thinking she just had to keep this guy alive. They married in 2010 and divorced in 2012. Musk paid her about $4 million. A year later they married again. In 2016 they divorced for the second time, and this time it cost him about $16 million. Around $20 million in total, for the same woman, twice. Today she still talks about him with warmth, not bitterness. So was it the money that ended it, or the rockets that never left the room? Would you marry someone after ten days if they shook your hand instead of giving you a ring? Follow me for more stories like this.
