Putting it Simply
Recently this article appeared in the Guardian which appears to be accusing Hitchens, Dawkins, etctera of wanting to take away the liberty of freedom of religion and, therefore, not being liberals.
Russell Blackford has a great response here but as it is something that people could potentially accuse the Atheist movement in general of, I thought [...]

God Tests Miss California’s Faith
In case you haven’t seen already…
Two things…
She did not actually answer the question. The question was: should states follow suit in allowing gay marriage? She said that we can choose between “same sex marriage” and “opposite” marriage, and then says that she believes that marriage is between a man and a [...]

Moonshine and Moonshine
I like to spend this time of day catching up on my news. One of the sites I visit is my customized BBC homepage where I have the science and nature articles placed right in the center of the page where it’s the first thing that catches my eye. So I learn a few things [...]

Science
While reading my biology textbook (Campbell-Reece, 6th edition), I found this useful description of how molecular systematics is making taxonomy a dynamic field. I thought I’d share it on here so that people can refer it to the next creationist or post-modernist that you meet who attempts to claim that science is completely useless because [...]

Answers in Genesis Ads
Somebody explain this to me…
Is the kid giving me a death threat for being a non-Christian, or is the kid killing people because he’s a non-Christian?

So, yeah. Here’s a few recent stuff from APOD that is awesome. Click on the [...]

We’re part of this information field… consciousness… it’s like a property of the continuum… it’s like the old physical physicist’s concept of the ether. It permeates everything.
Dennis McKenna
Because that’s how science is done!
Nobody can really say but that model in some ways appeals more to me.

The JREF: It’s Back!
The JREF’s YouTube account is back.
Still have no idea what happened, but I imagine if you keep an eye on Phil’s Twitter account and the JREF’s Twitter account we’ll find out soon enough.
Update:
Good to hear from Randi that it was not a malicious vote-botting attack or a false DMCA [...]

I Wrote a Poem!
So, for an extra-credit assignment after reading Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales in my humanities class, we were told to write something in the style of Chaucer, couplets and all. After showing it to the Atheist Blogger he told me that he loved it and to put it on my blog…so I am.
Oh, and I totally stole [...]
