Conversations with Atheists 2
Paraphrased for brevity and clarity: —– Her: You don’t need god (sic) to explain creation. Multiple universes explains exactly how our universe came to be. Me: Even if it were a valid hypothesis, which it isn’t, MUT only pushes First Cause back one step. It doesn’t eliminate the logical necessity. Her: It’s more valid that …
Why I Don’t Go to Baptist Churches
A co-worker invited me to his Church the other day. I asked ‘what denomination’, and he said, “Baptist.” Oh, no. I know some Baptists who are great people, but theologically… I’d get along at a Baptist Church like I’d get along at the Democratic National Convention. And for much the same reason. The following is …
On Science, Faith, Religion, and Mythology (Part I)
It is essentially the raison d’etre of the ‘New Atheist’ movement to assert an existential enmity between ‘science’ and ‘religion’; one that has always existed and can only be ended when ‘religious superstition’ is finally swept away by ‘scientific truth’. Which sounds awesome. But is any part of that statement valid? I shall examine this …

“Not Biblically Correct” (Part 1)
I started this entry several months ago. I work on it for a bit, then get bored. It’s a bit dry. I’ve decided to go ahead and publish what I have now as “Part 1″… I’ll get to part 2 later. I hope this helps someone! —– I often receive negative feedback from evangical-run pages …
Is This Free Will?
Hello, folks! It’s good to be back. I just had my first powerlifting session since returning and, while I am a bit, er, “more cuddly”, I’m still on track with my goals. Just before I left, I came across this post by Siriusbizinus. I started to reply to him, then decided that it was worth …
In Support of Aramaic Primacy
Here are a couple of documents supporting the Aramaic primacy of the New Testament. The second one is a bit interesting, as the author has subsequently denounced his own work and declared himself an atheist. I don’t blame him; it happens to the best of us–and I think that he actually succumbed to academic peer-pressure, …
On Perfection
Me: What is the primary attribute of God? Her: Non-existence! Me: Thank you for that illustration. Her: What? Me: Had I asked for the primary attribute of an unicorn, you would have said, “It has one horn.” For a vampire, you would have said, “it drinks blood.” But for God, you claim “non-existence” as the …
Conversations with Creation Scientists
(paraphrased for brevity and clarity) Me: Intelligent Design Theory only proposes that terrestrial life, and the universe in general, show evidence of… intelligent design. Creation Scientist: Well, if that’s all it is, then all Creationists are IDr’s! Me: No. First, because you make an unverifiable (but not implausible) claim about the identity of the intelligence …
Conversations With Atheists
Atheist: Do you even understand what logic is? Me: Yes, I have a thorough understanding of logic: etymologically, historically, and practically. You? —– Atheist (statement A): God is a failed hypothesis. Atheist (statement B): Just because I can’t disprove God, is no reason to believe he exists. Me: Pick one. God is an hypothesis, OR …
