I don't believe that this is a quote that can readily be overlooked. Indeed, if there is a god, and he created us in his image, then wouldn't he use his intellect, reason, and continuing knowledge to question himself as the great french philosopher Descartes did when he wrote,"I think, therefore I am."? Why shall we ever believe in something so profound as to never question it, and to blindly follow it with such fervor?It is too easy to speak of such things with confidence on an atheistic…See More
Samuel Spraker replied to Tom Baxter's discussion 'What logical error is this worldwide flood argument?'"There's nothing I can say that wasn't covered by Alex. Darwin figured this out in the 19th century. It's only right that creationists follow suit."
Samuel Spraker replied to Dave Gibbs's discussion 'Crazy Aunt won't leave my atheism alone'"One thing I've learned is that religious people, especially of older generations, are impenetrable in their reasoning. Thankfully my mom doesn't push.. i remember handing my crucifix to her and she cried.. but that was it. She didn't…"

Samuel Spraker commented on Samuel Spraker's blog post 'The beauty of science'"I think I heard Romney say once that he will do what's best for the country.. unless god tells him to do something otherwise. That's scary to me."
Heather Spoonheim commented on Samuel Spraker's blog post 'The beauty of science'"I actually don't care that he's a Mormon. I don't consider one theistic cult to be more or less legitimate than the other. I'm not even against theists holding office as long as they aren't fundamentalists and…"

Christopher Hitchens Day at Anywhere that one might find a glass of Johnnie Walker Black
April 13, 2013 all day
Celebrating and remembering the life of Christopher Hitchens on the date of his birth, April 13th. Let's lift a glass of Johnnie Walker Black, with a splash of Perrier, to the Bard of Atheism. If you smoke, a standard cigarette will do but a fine Cuban Cigar would be a tribute.See More
Unseen commented on Samuel Spraker's blog post 'The beauty of science'"I believe he's serious. Anyone who wants to change my mind should show me instances wherein he flouts Mormon principles. I'm not aware of any such instances and so I have no reason to doubt that he's a devout Mormon. And to the…"

Samuel Spraker commented on Samuel Spraker's blog post 'The beauty of science'"I believe he most likely does take it seriously. In addition to what Unseen has stated, I have recently read that his family had immigrated to Mexico so they could resume their polygamous practices. I can't swear by this statement because I…"
Logicallunatic commented on Samuel Spraker's blog post 'The beauty of science'"StevelnCo. I'm not sure if Romney takes it that seriously. At a recent speech he said he was more into sports than church when growing up. Then again, he did posthumously baptise his uncle into the Mormon religion.

Prior to science, superstition conquered. Aristotle believed that objects in motion slowed because they simply became "tired." God was reason for all, and all was reason for God.
Due to brilliant minds we have emerged from these opaque ages of knowledge. Newton enlightened us with mathematical logic in the 17th century. He also enlightened us with knowledge of optics,…
