Science & the Universe: Ted Peters on Theology, the Pope, and the Nature of Non-Human Life | RC 82
In today’s episode, we explore the intersection of science, faith, and the universe with theologian and professor Ted Peters. As a leading voice on religion and the unknown, he examines how theological perspectives evolve alongside scientific discoveries—especially in the context of non-human intelligence. From the Vatican’s stance on extraterrestrial life to the ethical and philosophical implications of expanding our cosmic worldview, we discuss whether faith traditions are prepared for the confirmation of non-human beings. Could this shift lead to a new kind of spirituality, where the universe itself becomes a focal point of belief? Join us as we get rebelliously curious.

Richard Doty on Disinformation, Paul Bennewitz, and UAP Whistleblower Fallout | RC 80
We dive into the story of Richard Doty—a former U.S. Air Force counterintelligence officer infamous in UFO circles. Doty played a key role in a psychological operation against Paul Bennewitz, a businessman and UFO researcher. In the 1980s, Bennewitz believed he had uncovered evidence of extraterrestrial activity near Kirtland Air Force Base. Instead of correcting him, Doty and others, acting under orders from multiple U.S. agencies, including the NSA, CIA, and DIA, fed him disinformation, leading to Bennewitz’s mental and emotional unraveling. In our interview, Richard Doty reflects on his past involvement with Paul Bennewitz. We discuss whether reparations should be paid to Paul’s family and Linda Moulton Howe and his thoughts on the current UAP landscape and recent whistleblower claims.

Can Humanity Evolve to Understand UAP, or Are We Missing the Tools? Iya Whiteley PH.D | RC 79
Perhaps humanity has yet to develop the necessary tools to truly process and communicate experiences with UAP and Non-Human Intelligence. If these experiences exist beyond the limits of human perception and language, how can others relate, empathize, and create a space for understanding? When the words don’t exist, and the event defies comprehension, how do we bridge that gap? Listening and believing are crucial first steps—but how do we move beyond them? What new forms of communication, interpretation, or even cultural evolution might be needed to truly engage with these phenomena? Iya Whiteley PH.D is a Clinical Psychologist and Cognitive and Human Factors Engineer, she’s dedicated her career to understanding how pilots and astronauts process information rapidly in high-stress environments, ultimately aiming to enhance situational awareness for improved safety in aviation.
