Micro-Evolution and the Tower of Babel

Creationists like to admit that Micro-Evolution is real and deny that Macro-Evolution exists. They cite that we've never seen Speciation, we have no transitional fossils, and some will throw up a picture of crocodile crossed with a duck and look for that. If we never find that fossil they have won, at least in their minds. Without going into that, I want to take on the Bible and even Micro-Evolution. They set up the timeline with Genesis, and I'll be glad to play their game.

First off, the… Continue

Pot of Gold

The pot of the gold at the end of the rainbow. Why is it there that everybody seeks? Its not about the end result, but the journey getting to the metaphorical pot of gold. The pot of gold seems to be religious in nature, to me at least. Some simply want facts to assure them that they will get that pot of gold. Those people never find it...[they find logic]. I think the pot of gold is there to keep the faith. A promise

of something wonderful to come. Faith alone is a controlling factor.… Continue

Audio Book Review: "Letting Go of God" by Julia Sweeney

I saw this CD set at a book store a while back for over $20. It caught my eye, but didn't seem like it would be worth the price. But when I saw it for way cheaper on iTunes, I decided to give it a go.

Sweeney's background is typical is some ways. She was given a very strong religious upbringing. Although she sees the hypocrisy behind the rules of her faith as a child, she still believes in god. This illustrates the mental pounding her parents gave her, in an effort to "instill… Continue

Changing the understading of Atheism

I keep a lot of very religious friends around because I really enjoy debating topics. As a scientist, I feel it helps keep the mind sharp and lucid regarding understanding the world around us. However, I am always puzzled by other scientists who are religious, very active and strongly religious or even mildly. I feel this world view is untenable, and does not match with the ideas of science, scientific process or a functional and pragmatic way of viewing the world or interacting with the… Continue

On Denominations and God's Absence

I chiefly write this note for Christian readers in hopes they will take 5 minutes to read it all, but I know 5 minutes is much to ask, especially for what might be considered offense or arrogance in the following paragraphs. Read if you'd like.

I took a screenshot of facebook's "Religious Views" pull-down menu the other day and noticed that there are way too many choices. Then I realized how unbelievable it is that there are still this many variations of Christianity. Then I… Continue

False Choices, or, How to Win Lawsuits and Marginalize People

[From Bloc Raisonneur]

I am interested in the Christian Broadcasting Network's take on the Newdow Pledge suit, because even though they will have a naturally built-in bias, they are a significant player in terms of niche media, and their political reporting… Continue

My Atheist Day

I got into an online scrap with a couple Mormons who insist "proselytize" isn't a word. I abandoned all hope of winning the argument when it dawned on me that I was potentially dealing with murderous psychopaths. Some Christian from youtube has finally stopped messaging me after I left a comment on a Rick Warren video. I said "Bless You" today when someone sneezed, losing my principles entirely for a moment, then added "You're so good- lookin' '". Someone added me as a friend today, my first on… Continue

"Under God" and Compulsory Unity

[From Bloc Raisonneur]

Radley Balko at the Agitator and Jason Kuznicki at Positive Liberty wonder at the wisdom of Michael Newdow and other atheists' attempts to strike "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. Their beef? Per Balko:

Seems to me that the real problem here—whether you’re atheist, agnostic, or devout—is the idea that we’re forcing school…
