You know, I never really prayed reflexively when I was religious. Must be why I lost my faith. I do use words like "goodbye" that I know a very few atheists try to stop using. I also take the Lord's name in vain given the opportunity. I've picked up the habit of saying "ye gods and little...

Hah, I know she/ he isn't Mabus just reminiscent. I was disappointed that despite his arrest and diagnosis he doesn't seem to have changed any.

Well, no respect deserved on my part then. I saw the common core discussed specifically in reference to mathematics, in response to conservative criticism of the math. I've no excuse, I live in this country.

I found the switching between animation and live performances a bit distracting. I also, much as I love Sagan, feel that they keep referring back to him and the original Cosmos to much.

For the rest of the world, common core is anew teaching style for math that seeks to make it more intuitive. The idea is to try to teach how people usually work out math problems in their head, by simplifying before adding and subtracting numbers. Like subtracting twenty five from fifty, so...

Though there's no pictures, the style reminds me of Mabus' posts.

Yep. There are better examples from history to use, I dunno why they didn't.

Eh, not to shabby. It's one where the fellow on it reads science news and speculates about why they are important, and he occasionally interviews scientists. He's a bit of an idiot, but he has some neat discussions with religious scientists.

Florida is cool? Some of it, sure. My part is called Lower Alabama for a reason. Mmm. Pie.

I have a bad habit of joining and posting to a forum before remembering to introduce myself. So, hello! I am an atheist from the American South, more specifically Florida, more specifically Pensacola, more specifically that place that Hovind fellow is based out of. So excuse me if my...

Yeah, his peculiar fascination reminds me of certain websites I've seen about the web. Part of an anthropology study of course. Thank you, I figured it was something like that. Well, after I had convinced myself that I hadn't just imagined posting, and then decided I had not done anything...

Hes crazy, though I remember that Jon Ronson in his book the Psychopath Test drew a comparison between Icke's talk of reptilian overlords (who I for one welcome) and psychopathy. All I really know about the guy is how oddly focused he was on talking about the breasts of these reptilians in...

I've been enjoying it. I got my girlfriend to watch the first episode of Sagan's original series before the new series aired, and she refuses to go back to Sagan's program. I have some gripes with it, the way Giordano Bruno was portrayed for example and the animated segments making of some of...

Ever seen Science and Curiosity, by chance?
