Ummm, there are records of an extended night in some portions of the world, at around that same time period. A night that lasted several hours longer than it should have. Citation? What record? Archaeological? Epigraphical? I say more poppycock. A...  [Read More]

Let me first say that I have read the bible. In fact, I still reference it from time to time, mostly to debunk its nonsense. The bible is mythology. Period. It was written by a few superstitious individuals who were attempting to unite their people a...  [Read More]

Personally, I've no problem with any religion or other supernatural belief, particularly if the believer cites as reason for his belief that he is comforted, that he simply has faith, or because it "works" for them in providing personal exp...  [Read More]

Let's not forget that The Onion is satyrical work, albeit an often funny and relative one as we can see here. :) Still, I'm forced to backpeddal a bit and give the President a little credit. It would appear that I accepted the media accounts of his...  [Read More]

Personally, I wonder why our schools concern themselves with teaching any aspect of creation/evolution - after all, both theories are inherently unprovable under the scientific method. Poppycock from an undereducated point of view. One is a theory...  [Read More]

There's a fanatical response to fanatics going on in religion. Its as if there is a religious war being waged among the superstitious nutters on both sides. If we weren't in the middle, I'd say nuke 'em all. .... okay, no I wouldn't, but it feels to...  [Read More]

The only reason you're opposed to this at all is because people have sited their religion as a reason as to why it shouldn't be in schools. Period. If someone said "I just don't want it there, because academically, it's ****ing worthless",...  [Read More]
