Angry with some skeptics' insistence that the skeptical movement should leave religion alone, that science can say nothing about supernatural claims, PZ Myers announces his divorce from the skeptic movement. Jack Scanlan…

Prompted by a recent piece in The Guardian touting Sir David Attenborough's plans to speak in favor at an upcoming conference on the subject, the "aquatic ape theory" is on people's lips again. PZ Myers smacks the theory around. Twitter had fun with it, using the …

Hey Nelson, here's an excellent radio programme from BBC Radio 4 which was on yesterday, about multiverses.  It features the Italian physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton and her wave-function theory of the universe. 

"Could the big blue blotch on the Cosmic Microwave Background be a kind of shadow cast just after the big bang by a neighbouring universe beyond our own?"

Well worth listening to and downloading.

For some reason I don't seem to be getting the email notifications for Sunday School any more.

Hi Nelson. Here is a story from Ireland which is going viral. It is about a child with stage 4 cancer and the song to raise funds for her. Elton John has gotten involved too. Whatever the ending it is still a good story that even floors this hardened Atheist. A different approach. You might like to add it to your Cancer Stories as I could not find a direct link. It would also (imo) make a good sunday school link for Empathy and Alturistic behaviour. I would not ask anyone directly to buy the song. btw if the child should die all or any remaining refunds are to be donated to research.

That makes sense. Honestly, I could probably read several books a week if I stopped wasting so much time online. I barely ever play video games, but I do watch TV from time to time. ;)

At 3:00pm on October 4, 2012, Dan Marshall said…

Sooooo... you're saying that you either own a flying DeLorean or a Time-Turner then, yeah? Either that, or you're a robot. How do you find the time to read that many books?!

At 2:44pm on October 4, 2012, Dan Marshall said…

Embarrassingly, I have not had a chance to start any of those books yet. I've been working on writing at least 500+ words each day, so that's been keeping me busy. I also work for a testing company in the testing sector, so you can imagine that this is a very busy time of year for us. I'm sure I'll be done making excuses soon, let me see if I can think of one or two more...

At 2:39pm on October 4, 2012, Dan Marshall said…

Pffft... Damn atheists always want proof for extraordinary claims!

At 2:33pm on October 4, 2012, Dan Marshall said…

YEAH! I'm one of the cool kids now! :P
