This is a shout out for a YouTube channel by the name of ConversationWithA. You can also find them on their facebook page, Religion Hurts Humanity. Now I’ve never talked to these people. I don’t know who they are, or anything about them. All I do know is that they regularly put out a video […]
The Secular Party of America
Last March in San Francisco, I had the honor of addressing a few highly-motivated activists who started a brand-new political party, the National Atheist Party. As hard as this might be to believe, there were a few people who were uncomfortable with that name, many of them were atheists! I recognized their concerns, as many […]
Unpopular Perry
Roughly 1,000 people had signed up to testify against the abortion bill being pushed through the 2nd special session of Perry’s personal agenda, but only about 10% of those people were actually allowed to speak. So a coalition of independent agencies put together a petition requesting senators to hold public hearings across the state. Yesterday, […]
Conference in Columbus
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 […]
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 […]
