Earlier this month, I drove to Kentucky to protest the Noah’s Ark Park. Trying to reason with believers there was an exercise in futility. Now, Eric Hovind and his crew are deliberately trying not to understand; or at least they’re to appear as if they don’t understand, or that they understand something else. I don’t […]
Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism available for pre-order
I just saw the listing for the first time. Pre-orders of my book are available on Amazon. The publisher returned their edition to me, and I’m now reviewing the final format. I think it will be 6×9″ and 440 pages. No pictures though. I should be recording an audio version of it sometime next month. […]
My first formal debate, July 23rd in Downtown Dallas
If y’all know any theists in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, you’ve got just one week to convince them to come see me debate some random Christian guy named John Lepp (I don’t know) over the question, “Is God the source of all that is good?” (I know, right?) This event will be at the […]
Rick Wiles: Pokemon Go is Satan’s Cyber-Demons
Hyper-vigilant, would-be televangelist, Rick Wiles of TRUNews a member of Jim Bakker’s PTL Ministry, recounted the seemingly benign tale of a stranger playing Pokémon Go outside his office building this week. According to RightWingWatch, Wiles attributed the player’s otherwise explicable behavior to none other than the Biblical villain Satan himself. He went on to describe a vast […]
The Meaning of Race
Is race a biological or social construct? The word “race” as it is applied to describing ancestral traits in humans is notoriously difficult to disambiguate. The word itself is polysemous, or has different but related senses depending on the context of the discussion. The word “man” is also a polyseme that is ambiguous to the […]
Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism book tour
I’ve never published a book before. So I’m pretty excited about this. My book is available on Amazon for pre-order. Copies should be in stores come November. I’ve scheduled a promotional tour with different secular humanist skeptical atheist groups for a nice circle round the western states where I grew up. Once there are links […]
Ark Encounter Needs a Trigger Warning
It can be difficult to make it through the Ark Encounter and maintain a cheerful optimism about the future of mankind. Ignorance is proudly on display everywhere. For those, who left childhood creationist indoctrination behind, it is a particularly difficult trudge through a literal boatload of lies.The rationale for the Ark Encounter is displayed in this […]
Meeting the Chaplains at the Children’s hospital
I’ve been interviewed many times, but not like yesterday. The Chaplains at Childrens Medical Center of Dallas reached out to Metroplex Atheists asking for someone to advise them. The Chaplains know how to soothe the faithful, but they wanted to be able to comfort unbelievers too. I commend them for that. This hospital has one […]
Watch this space
Aron Ra has some exciting announcements and new developments that he will tell you about after he gets back from protesting Ken Ham’s Ark Park next week. People, who appreciate his work on popularizing science and secular advocacy, will like that he wants to launch a new science-related video series larger than the scope of the […]
We’re protesting Ken Ham’s Ark Park
Ken Ham of AnswersInGenesis ministries may look like Cornelius from the original planet of the ape series, but he is the kingpin of dogmatic pseudoscience propaganda, who’s organization is at the center of science denial for every other peddler of religiously-motivated snake-oil around the world. Next week, he’ll be opening another affront to reality in […]
