Tens of thousands of years ago, early paleolithic humans painted on cave walls things that were important to them and with which their entire lives revolved.
One of the most prominent images which have been preserved on countless cave walls is an animal that looks like an enormous bull.
That animal has gone extinct, but while it was alive, it played an important role in the development of humanity, and its genetic descendants still play an important role today.

Can a civilization survive without faith? It's a question many Americans are considering as a wave of secularism sweeps the nation.
There are those that push back against the idea that faith and religion should be involved in the political process. They point to the establishment clause in the Constitution that prevents the government from establishing a religion as evidence the Founders wanted to keep religion separate from the apparatus of state.
Eric Metaxas, a Christian author and host of "The Eric Metaxas Show," disagrees.
"I think that the Founders knew that a robust faith was at the very heart of keeping the republic. There was no question about that," Metaxas says. "I think the misunderstanding that we've been living with for decades now, that somehow we're supposed to keep our faith out of the public square, is utterly preposterous."
Metaxas joins the show to discuss the role of faith in society and whether America can survive if she loses her faith heritage.

For people with autism, navigating a neurotypical world can be exhausting. Many deploy strategies to fit in with others, a tactic often referred to as masking. Social psychologist Devon Price spoke to Eric Garcia, author of Unmasking Autism, on Life Kit about the freedom that comes from unmasking.
