Offerings to the atheist dictionary

It seems to me that the rational and the irrational apply very different meanings to many of the same words.  Thus we talk past each other.  For the purpose of clarification, I submit my understanding and application of many of the words that are most relevant to our contrasted positions. Legend: An unverified story handed […]

What I think about Atheism +

Over the last week or so, several people have asked me to comment on Atheism(+).  I don’t always know if they’re trying to find out what it is, or if they just want to know how I feel about it.  Today someone sent me a message which made that very clear.  He(?) described himself as […]

Light the Night

Every autumn, I get involved in a few charities.  There is DPR’s BlogTV 24-hour charity for MSF -which is on right now.  On November 18th, I’ll be riding in the Motorcops for kids motorcycle run, which I haven’t done since the 2009 run.  Usually Skepticon is on the same weekend, but that’s on the previous […]

Haeckeling creationists

One of the more irritating arguments in the ‘crevo’ controversy are the lies of equivocation.  The game is played by a creationist pretending to be objective -when he and we all know he is not- while projecting all of his own logical fallacies onto the science-minded, who of course do not share any of those […]

A Mammoth Wager

There is one more thing I need Bob Enyart to be aware of before he posts his final submission to our debate, because this is going to matter, and he should know that he’ll have to address this particular point or it will cost him. Now I don’t really expect him to honestly concede EVERYTHING […]
