This coming weekend, July 12th thru 14th, I will be at Ohio State University for the eastern half of the Secular Student Alliance annual conference. The ‘western’ conference was last month in Las Vegas -where TAM will be going on at the same time that I’ll be in Columbus. I used to live in Lost […]
Tired of homeschooling Nonsense-in-Genesis?
Hey there home-school parents! If you’re already stocked up on snake oil and miracle elixirs, or you’re just tired of paying some old con-man to lie to your kids, if you’d rather they learn truthful knowledge they could actually use, then take off those blinkered and blinding Bible glasses, walk out of Ken Ham’s creationism […]
Lawrence Krauss talking about nothing.
I have been in the audience a few times listening to this man explain nothing. In one speech, he explained nothing four times, because [he said] the subject tends to confuse the laity, and sometimes even confuses other scientists. When he said that, my son and I looked at each other said quite confidently that […]
Actually Ken Ham: It’s Great to be an Ape
I was invited by Dallas’s Fellowship of Freethought to speak about creationism with the Mister Ra. Aron spoke about his disappointment at Ham’s response about wisdom teeth not being proof of anything that contradicts the biblical account of Genesis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSRc1G45M48 My presentation addressed Ham’s vain response that he is made in the image of god, and not […]
Support Senator Davis’s Filibuster against Texas SB 5: restricting women’s access to abortion.
It is live streaming now, and she is in trouble. The Texas Senate is deciding if she broke the rules by accepting a back brace from a colleague. If she survives this ruling, she has until midnight to block the vote on SB5. It will most likely give her 2 warnings and she has 3 […]
a charity to improve Ireland’s mental health
Don’t make jokes. I’ve met most of the guest hosts in person. 🙂 Until recently, if I wanted to help promote something like this I would feature it on my channel. But YouTube has made so many ‘improvements’ that my channel barely exists anymore. It certainly can’t be used to feature anyone else’s videos on […]
Hammering Ham
You know, I’m starting to doubt whether Ken Ham was ever willing to enter into the debate that he said he wanted. He made some plainly false criticisms of my wife, and I posted some corrections below. Shortly after I uploaded this video, I saw a comment that someone had posted it to Ken Ham’s […]
Dennett’s prediction
When I listened to Daniel Dennett give this presentation live, I remember thinking that I wanted to take a handful of his comments and statistics, and put them to music. And while that might still have worked, when I listen to my recording of that speech now, I think it needs to be a bit […]
TrueEmpiricism (irony alert)
As Darwin once said, “ignorance more often begets confidence than does knowledge“. Someone demonstrating Dunning-Kruger syndrome keeps sending me private messages wherein he speaks without knowledge very confidently. I don’t even have time just to read all my emails anymore. I certainly can’t take the time to personally educate every internet noob who thinks he […]

Vic Wang of Houston Atheists explains their standing debate challenge to Ken Ham of answersingenesis. Be sure to see the end notes. We haven’t heard from Mr Ham since Prof Myers PhD threw his gauntlet into the ring alongside mine.
