February 15, 2002: Open Lines - Immortals
Podcast: The Art Bell ArchivePublished On: Tue Mar 04 2025
Description: Art Bell opens the Friday night lines with a provocative question: are there immortals walking among us? Inspired by recent callers who survived impossible accidents without injury, Art invites listeners who consider themselves unbreakable to share their stories. The response is immediate and extraordinary. Callers describe being thrown from vehicles at over 100 miles per hour, surviving broadside collisions with 18-wheelers, and even being struck by trains, all without fatal consequence.The theories range widely. Some callers attribute their survival to guardian angels, while others suggest predestination or a programmed life scenario that prevents departure before the appointed time. Art raises the philosophical tension between free will and predestination, arguing the two concepts cannot coexist unless free will itself is an illusion. One caller shares a striking precognitive experience, hearing a voice predicting the exact location and severity of a major plane crash days before it occurred.Between calls, Art covers the day's headlines, including Nevada's lawsuit over Yucca Mountain nuclear waste storage, the U.S. military dropping envelopes of cash over Afghanistan, and a mysterious rash spreading across seven states that scientists cannot identify. The night builds a compelling case that forces beyond ordinary understanding may govern matters of life and death.
