Thor’s Day Rant: I Gave At The Office
This isn’t just a rant. It’s a proclamation: I won’t be giving anything to charity this year.I already gave at the office. About midway through January, my car was broken into. Okay, “broken” might be too harsh of a word here as I suspect it was an unlocked back door (thanks, kids) that allowed the [...]
Objectivity is impossible
No one has objectivity. I’m paraphrasing a dear friend of mine’s view that people can’t be objective because their brain function as well as their experience clouds their perception of reality. The subject of objectivity came up in passing as my friend and I were discussing brain function and its corresponding software. I don’t share [...]
Glenn Beck interviews Ben Stein
One of the striking things about this clip is the footage from the Expelled movie showing Richard Dawkins making a plea for Intelligent Design. When you get done checking out the video, take a gander at Ron McClure Jr.’s post which underscores Dawkins’ preternatural ability to show the world what a reptilian ass looks like…macroevolution [...]
Hickory-Dickery Dawkins
The Deconstruction of an Urban Legend Writer’s note: (Italics should be read like a parent to a child, with a lot of enthusiasm and dynamics.) Once upon a time, there was a Great Zoologist from Great Britain. It is said that he could deflate an argument with a single syllable. In fact, he is said [...]
The real legacy of Darwin should not be celebrated
In some circles today, Darwin is treated like a great celebrity. A recent article points out that there will be “scientific” meetings in Britain concerning the ideas of Darwin. It seems, the man is framed by some science historians as an Einstein-like genius, though he wasn’t. He did bring to the forefront of science some [...]
Ben Stein talks about “Expelled” on Hannity and Colmes
It’s quite comical to watch liberal nutroot, Alan Colmes, try to put words in Ben Stein’s mouth. So go pop some popcorn, sit down, and watch Alan Colmes get served by Ben Stein. It’s fun and nutritious.
The Case For A Creator Part IV: Cosmology
Today most cosmologists believe the universe had a beginning in the Big Bang. However, a beginning for the universe strongly suggests an intelligent causal agent to wind things up, as it were. Since the majority of cosmologists are committed to naturalism, they have been forced to search for a cosmological silver bullet: an explanation for [...]
The New Liberals…
I know, I know. Neoliberalism is already a term, defined on Wikipedia and all that, but as long as America’s definitions about everything are changing, I would like to offer up an alternate meaning to the word neoliberal. A neoliberal is anyone over 27 who still watches cartoons regularly. Anyone who knows everything about show [...]
Father’s Day in the UK: A Gay Olde Time
Ah, those wacky Brits. They sure come up with some weird ideas, like how kids shouldn’t be encouraged to eat cheese. But now the Brits have truly outdone themselves. They have OFFICIALLY declared kids don’t need a dad. “Single women and lesbian couples won landmark parental rights last night as MPs voted to remove the [...]
Fraudulent chain email reveals hidden opportunity
If you consider yourself to be a trusting person, you might want to stop and check your sources before forwarding that next chain email to everyone on your contacts list. This week I received yet another in the long litany of chain email hoaxes being circulated about town. It had the following heading and lead: [...]
