Is it reasonable for Atheists to require a standard of evidence or proof from Theists for the existence of God (or veracity of Christianity) to reach the level of undeniability? The more time I spend on the internet the more I find Atheists assign a threshold of evidence for God that they give … [Read more...]
“Consensus” on man made global warming?
November 21, 2013 by 26 Comments
The American Meteorological Society (AMS) has released its preliminary report surveying its members views about global warming. The survey did not find the consensus so often boasted by climate change alarmists. Here are a few interesting points from the summary: Only 89% of members of the AMS … [Read more...]
Atheists and the dead man
November 12, 2013 by 45 Comments
I don't know how many people are familiar with the story of the man who thinks he's dead and cannot be convinced otherwise. Here's a short version of this: A man is convinced he is dead. His wife and kids are exasperated. They keep telling him he's not dead. But he continues to insist he's … [Read more...]

The case against man-caused climate change (formerly known as global warming because...it isn't) gets weaker every day.(DailyMail) -- The 17-year pause in global warming is likely to last into the 2030s and the Arctic sea ice has already started to recover, according to new research.A paper in the … [Read more...]
Climate activism, not climate change, is dangerous
October 29, 2013 by 2 Comments
Then Senator John Kerry was preaching the apocalyptic dangers of 'climate change' a mere 4 years ago. He claimed there would be no Arctic ice at the pole this past summer. He was wrong. Like so many climate activists he assured us that the climate was changing at dangerous rates and needs … [Read more...]
Downward trend in mean global temperature
October 5, 2013 by 4 Comments
The following graph directly from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows the declining trend in the average global temperature since the turn of this century. The response from AGW activists is to dismiss the data rather than admit that if the crisis they peddle were true, … [Read more...]

A new study released by Nature.com's journal, Nature Climate Change confirms what "deniers" have been claiming for the past few years: the warming of the Earth has come to a halt. The journal "is a monthly journal dedicated to publishing the most significant and cutting-edge research on the science … [Read more...]
Polar ice at record highs, but…but…global warming!
September 26, 2013 by 9 Comments
Everything from the increase of extreme weather events to the decrease of extreme weather events is attributed to Anthropogenic (man-made) Global Warming, or AGW for short. Well it it seems global warming also causes record amounts of ice at the Poles. (Washington Post) -- Antarctic sea ice has … [Read more...]
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change forced to admit Earth is cooling
September 10, 2013 by 6 Comments
The UN IPCC is starting to see the light the crazy science-hating deniers have seen from the beginning, The only surprise here is that they're actually admitting it. (Telegraph) -- A cold Arctic summer has led to a record increase in the ice cap, leading experts to predict a period of global … [Read more...]
Does evolution explain biodiversity?
August 20, 2013 by 26 Comments
One mistake I think people make when discussing and debating whether evolutionary theory adequately explains the degree of biodiversity we see in the animal kingdom is they don't recognize everyone is using the same facts. What I mean is we all see the fossil record, the geological record, the … [Read more...]
Global warming doomsday predictions not panning out
August 19, 2013 by 2 Comments
We've been told that with the increased warming (which stopped in the late 90s, which is when the trends begin to fall) we should expect increased extreme weather events such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and tropical storms. In reality, we've been seeing downward trends even though levels of CO2 have … [Read more...]
The “Challenge” to Atheists
June 6, 2013 by 58 Comments
Earlier this week I responded to a logically flawed "challenge" to Christians. It aimed to have Christians offer "scientific" evidence for the existence of only the God of Christianity. Well, I have a challenge of my own for Atheists who claim to reject God on the basis that the advances in … [Read more...]
The “Challenge” to Christians
June 3, 2013 by 7 Comments
I tend to follow Atheist bloggers because I believe it is important to familiarize yourself with multiple points of view which are contrary to your own. Anyway, I read the following post, a challenge to Christians in an Atheist's blog I happened upon via Twitter a few months back. In it, the … [Read more...]
There’s no scientific evidence for the resurrection, so what now?
May 29, 2013 by 5 Comments
Why is it difficult to believe the resurrection of Jesus was an historical fact? Is it because there's no scientific evidence? Is it because we have to rely on testimony, which may be inaccurate? Is it because sages today aren't resurrected? I can sympathize, to a point. I do think the … [Read more...]
Why do we fight evolution?
May 28, 2013 by 7 Comments
When discussing the origins of morality, most Atheists are willing to offer evolution as a viable option. However, I believe it is obvious that the evolutionary process could not have produced moral imparitives. A cursory reflection on our own interactions with others should make this obvious. We … [Read more...]
Are we free?
May 13, 2013 by 6 Comments
For the religious adherent, whether we are agents created by the Almighty to freely act according to our desires, or we are under His divine direction will depend on your theology. A case could be made either way I suppose. I think the Atheist has a more difficult time reconciling the … [Read more...]
Richard Dawkins voted world’s top thinker

Purpose and evolution
April 19, 2013 by 12 Comments
Q: Why does the moon shine at night? A: To help people see better at night. If it's silliness to say the purpose of the moon is to help people see better at night, why isn't it also silliness for evolutionists to assign purpose to the biological structures of organisms? If it's true that … [Read more...]
Oops… Climate “Scientists” wrong again
April 17, 2013 by 1 Comment
If it weren't so sad, it would be funny. Warmists cling to the idea that the Earth is heating up and it's all the fault of filthy humans. The problem is every day new studies and corrections of previous data emerge to show Al Gore and his minions are simply wrong about climate change and it's … [Read more...]
Beware the “consensus”
April 10, 2013 by 6 Comments
NOTE: This is an edited version of a previous post. The debate between science and religion and whether one disproves the other usually butts heads hardest in the area of evolution. The evidence is in, says science, man and apes descended from a common ancestor, or so the theory goes. After all, … [Read more...]
