On July 11th 2002, Mike Pence, then representing Indiana’s 6th congressional district, testified before the House of Representatives that public schools should teach the theory of evolution as if it were only one of multiple hypotheses regarding the origins of species. Now that Trump the Chump has chosen Pence the Dense as his vice presidential […]
Some folks never learn
The infamous charlatan “Dr” Kent Hovind (with a worthless mail-order PhD) is opening another “Dinosaur Adventure Land”, this time in Alabama. Somehow hucksters like him always find rubes to donate money and property to keep lying in the guise of education. Otherwise he’d have to sell used cars, wonder drugs, or multi-level marketing schemes. As […]
What is faith?
I happened across a video of a couple of Christians reviewing my debate with John Lepp. They said it wasn’t very polished or professional on either side. I agree, but the biggest fault I have with myself is assuming that once I give the clues, my audience should be able to connect the dots and […]
An Amazing blurb
James Randi has written an Amazing endorsement of my book! The seemingly unquenchable popularity of the so-called “paranormal” has long been a puzzle, both to me and to my good friend Aron Ra. However, Aron’s much more important and more specific interest in preoccupation with woo-woo is bifold: religion & creationism — to the study […]
Number One New Release in Christianity
This book has been something like eight years in the making for me. The official release date is November 1st. So my book hasn’t even been released yet, but it’s already the #1 New Release in Christianity on Amazon today! There’s a certain irony in that, I think. 🙂 Yes, there will be an audio version. […]
I’m on IMDB
I have an IMDB page now, because I’ve been in a handful of movies, almost all of them documentaries, and only two of those are listed on that page. Take A Scarlett Letter for an example of one of the ones that are not listed. In the one exception to the documentaries, I played an […]
My debate with John Lepp
This was my first formal debate ever. I mean, I’ve argued with a few evangelicals online or on someone’s radio show, and some of those were called “debates”. But this was the real deal, two people sharing the stage with a proper moderator -addressing a live audience in the same room. I’ve never done that […]
As a result of protesting the ark park…
I was invited to protest Ken Ham’s ark park by Jim Helton, Kentucky state director of American Atheists and president of Tri-State Freethinkers. It was such a well-organized and successful protest that I knew it wasn’t over when it was over. There were more ripples coming after the waves that he made. So I knew […]
The new President of Atheist Alliance of America
Atheist Alliance of America is 25 years-old, one of the oldest atheist organizations in the U.S., founded in 1992. They are the source of Secular Nation bi-annual magazine and podcast. For the last fifteen years, they have bestowed the Richard Dawkins award to honor outstanding scientists, authors, artists, and other advocates of uncompromised and unapologetic […]
The Answers in Genesis Movie
As offensive as Ken Ham’s ark park is, we know that cumbersome eye-sore is doomed to an inevitable financial failure that would be comical if it didn’t waste $18,000,000.oo of state tax incentives despite 1st amendment prohibitions failing all three prongs of the Lemon test. That’s in addition to another $107,000,000.oo out of individual donor’s […]
