Lilandra’s part of the virtual conference is on now.
Happy New Year on a much older calendar
Because my wife is half-Vietnamese, I have to go to Houston this weekend, to meet the in-laws for what they consider to be one of their most important holidays, Chinese New Year. So while the rest of you guys are just barely getting into 2014, I’ll be ringing in the year of the horse, […]
Creationism and Flat Earthers
I felt this was a comment worth sharing.
In 2009, America was 17% atheist
For a while now, I’ve been wanting to conduct a poll wherein I ask a representative percentage of the population, “Are you convinced that an actual deity really exists” I want to phrase the question that way, because I know that most atheists in this country don’t even know they are atheist, because they don’t […]
My frustration with Bill Naive
Sadly I will not be going to Kentucky in February. I’m very disappointed that I won’t be going to the creation museum to support Bill Nye in his debate against one of this country’s leading snake oil salesman. I would have gone, but tickets were mysteriously suspiciously unavailable to atheists. A half-dozen of us were […]
Hey Bill, show ’em that Science Rules!
Of all the places I ever planned to visit, Kentucky never made my list. It’s also surprising to me that I would ever visit a creationist museum -and give them money on top of that! But I have to do that if I am to document the historic confrontation between Ken Ham, kingpin of creationism […]
Both parts of my time on the Blind Faith Virus Vaccine Show
I can now show both parts of the discussion between myself (representing atheism) Dr. Ann Gleig from Liverpool (representing Buddhism) and Pastor Joey Jernigan of Liberty University (representing fundamentalist Christian creationism). The host, Mark Gura is moderating. It was recorded in October and aired on Atlanta Georgia’s local access television channels in two parts, last […]
A Good Question
Let me start by saying you have the right to not believe in any God. As I have the right to believe there is a God. Then we divide. I want you to peacefully be able to not believe and I want all others to have the same opportunity as well . My question to […]
I’m eighty-eight!
It’s time to thank my subscribers, all 92,929 of them. I have just become aware that my YouTube channel is listed as one of their Top 100 Most Subscribed News & Politics Channels. Ain’t that nice? Of course I’m way behind Alex Jones, who is so high on that list as to be statistically scary. […]
Back to the book
It looks like the Canadian tour has been postponed, and I had to cancel the trip to Minnesota for personnel reasons. (That’s not a typo) So Skepticon was last presentation of 2013. I’ve only been on 21 airplanes this year. Compared to 33 last year! But to be fair, I think I drove to most […]
