Evolution & Creationism at War in the Mind of a Scientist

“A mind like that…is a disgrace to the human species.” I agree.

Bill O’Reilly’s Arrogant Ignorance & the Many Faces of Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins has been doing the media rounds to promote his new book The Greatest Show on Earth. Below, you will see his appearance on Bill O’Reilly’s show on the FoxNews propaganda channel. O’Reilly makes use of the standard argument fallacies we all know (i.e. the Bandwagon fallacy, the God of the Gaps argument, etc.) Although Dawkins has encountered these arguments on more occasions than he can probably count, his constantly morphing facial expressions seem to indicate that he cannot believe he is STILL hearing the same arguments. I feel his pain.

They Might Be Giants – “Science Is Real”

They Might Be Giants like stories, but when they’re seeking knowledge…

Stephen Lynch’s Songs

Michael Shermer’s Baloney Detection Kit

Michael Shermer, the editor of Skeptic magazine and author of Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time, goes over his very useful Baloney Detection Kit:

On numerous occasions in this blog, I have noted the Christian persecution complex and their tendency to be hyper-paranoid about people “attacking” them and their idea of a perfect theocratic utopia. I believe that this stems directly from a key emotion that informs belief in things and assertions without evidence: FEAR.

Here is a very funny and scary-how-serious-it-is public service ad to generate more fear about what those scary gay people want to do to us straight folk.

What Could Jesus Have Done?

New video created by a blogger named NonStampCollector. It asks an important question: if a supernatural deity really did take up residency on the earth, why didn’t he do some obvious things to reduce human suffering and improve life?

Prayer Won’t Help Amputees Either

Paulo’s last post about the research study on prayer reminded me of a video I saw on YouTube titled “Why Won’t God Heal Amputees?”

The Arrogance of Ignorance in “The Atheist’s Nightmare”

It doesn’t matter how many times I watch this video, it still gets a giggle from me. This Christian [Ray Comfort], sitting next to Kirk Cameron, is relying on “argument from design” evidence to make his case for the existence of the Judeo-Christian God. I think this example does a great job of revealing the ridiculousness and irrelevance of all arguments claiming that proof of God’s existence can be found through signs of “design” in the natural world.
