  • You are in my Prayers

    I read your article, ''What I've learned from debating religious people around the world'' with fascination. To provide you with some insight I am what is commonly called an evangelical Christian, but could not be accurately labeled as a full Calvinist. I try my best to communicate in a manner that saves others from perdition and I likewise strive ...

  • Didnt Show "How They Do It" In Turkey

    This piece was remarkable in several ways, including its ideological and cultural idiosyncracies lacking intellectual depth. First, if one claims to explain ''how they do it'', then one should actually elucidate the fundamental controversy. Harun Yahya promotes ''Islamic creationism''? Why wasn't there a reasonable intellectual survey of ...

  • Fantastic article!

    Someone tell me why those in the USA who try so hard to get the 10 commandments posted all over in our public square and taught to our kids in school break so many of them trying to get that done? And also fight so hard to take money from the poor and middle class and put in the hands of the rich? And also to keep corporate greed-based health ...

  • Shoddy Science Reporting Complicit in Anti-Intellectualism

    Because of the sensationalism committed by science reporters, American's mistrust of science has been amplified. Without bothering to explain the process of science, and the need for replications of studies, and without stressing all the follow-up work required to verify a scientific position or statement, science reporters and the news outlets ...

  • Why Can’t Dawkins Change People’s Minds?

    I watched the recent Dawkins on Darwin thing on Channel 4 and was unsurprised to find that the schoolchildren he spoke to who had been brought up with the creation story didn’t, on the whole, change their minds about the origins of the human race upon being presented with evidence for ...

  • Re: We've directly observed macroevolution

    Thanks for a thoughtful response JGC! You are correct that on the surface evolutionary theory deals with the observations of genetic changes within already existing life on this planet and beyond. But you have to admit that both the 'routine argument' for evolution and Darwin's theories have their founding in a cosmology based upon the idea that ...

  • You're forgetting a few points

    Creationism doesn't deny all evolution, it simply explains the beginnings of a universe far too vast and complicated to have happened from nothing. (considering evolution as the explanation of the beginning denies the very laws of physics) The important point that was left out of this opinionated article is there is a difference between macro ...

  • Re: Ben Stein, fundy nutjob?

    Stein is not the first ''well-respected intellectual'' in the field of law and policy to throw in with the creationist crowd. Remember that no less a luminary than Phillip E. Johnson was instrumental in founding the ID movement. The lesson here: Being brilliant in one field (e.g. law, math) does not qulaify you to do serious work in another ...

  • Re: LDS Texas Children

    i'm not mormon. not even close but i hope everyone who values their freedom to worship will take a look around in their own lives and how their own beliefs have been scrutinized and tested. how far off do you all think we are from facing the same fate. this nation is moving from “a land under God” to one that puts believer’s out on the ...

  • Mike's Buyers Guide to God - Part III

    Hard Copy Whatever it is you want in a God, you probably want it in writing. In the form of stone tablets, sheets or scrolls of papyrus, illuminated vellum manuscripts, gold plates or cheap paperbacks, most religions can provide you with their histories and beliefs, their do's and don'ts. If this were a buyers guide to cars or ...
