So I'm in a few groups for people who enjoy fantasy and science fiction books. Today someone post the link below. Basically, there is an anthology being put together and several of the authors have pulled their work after seeing the forward written by one Robert M. Price who is also the editor...
With a side serving of we come from a single male and female pair.

Anyone seen this? I haven't had time to track down the studies and put my feeble brain to them but any time I see this stuff I find it interesting.

I can't remember where I found it (likely posted here)but there was a study done evaluating the content of the published works from ICR etc. detailing the use of data in creationist/intelligent design "research". It basically showed that they don't use any data and bitch and moan about evolution...
'MURICA WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Sigh. Going to be a fun ride.
I have to wonder if Donald is going to wake up tomorrow and feel like the dog that caught the car.
I'm not sure what this post is about exactly. It might create something to talk about or it could just be me throwing out some thoughts that nobody else connects with and ignores.
I've spent most of my life in the "Bible Belt" of the US and of course felt the influence of the culture as I...
I've seen all sorts of discussions about the flood and different ways that it is disproved but I've not seen a good treatment discussing land vegetation and how it would factor in the discussion. Other than it would be near impossible for plants to live underwater for a year. I would be...
Sorry for spamming so much in this thread. I read more than average and like hearing of what others think. I finished the Dragon and Coin series by Daniel Abraham. Among my favorites.
Does anyone else finish a book per week or more?
With Easter having been this past weekend I've seen quite a few posts on social media along the lines of "According to church tradition Apostle XYZ was killed by (insert gruesome death here)" with them going down the list of apostles and their martyrdom.
My question is do any of you know of...
I'm having a "discussion" with a creationist who insists that evolution says that something like a dog being born from a cat would prove evolution. I've tried to explain not only would that disprove evolution but that one species never gives birth to anything but the same species it is. But...
I acknowledge from the start that I very well may be looking for a purple unicorn but I was curious if there are any "rational" creationist forums where there is active debate and discussion. Or even something archived that covers the typical topics. Everything I read here and at RS follows the...
Any UFC/MMA fans out there? Trying to find something to get a little life here.
If so did you watch the Bellator event tonight? Thoughts?
For me Kimbo/Dada fight was the worst I've ever seen. Shamrock vs Gracie was just bizarre. Think they'll run that again since there was "controversy"...
I watched this film last night and wondered what you guys think about it? Admittedly I knew vaguely what this was about but I generally ignore the media as much as possible. So I wasn't aware of how this story broke, the extents of the evil involved, nor of the massive cover up. To put it mildly...
Another apologist rehashes old arguments and Avalos tears them down. Pretty much standard stuff but thought some of you might find it interesting.

Facebook is a treasure trove for this garbage but this particular conspiracy theory makes me laugh. Having said that I'm not educated enough to deny the claims with facts. Since things are so dead lately maybe we can have a discussion on this. So what's wrong here, what are the mistakes, what's...
I know a few of you are college age and likely need to save a few bucks here and there and others are like me and are on limited incomes. I was introduced to Freedompop a month or so ago. I was skeptical at first. I couldn't believe there was really a way to get these services for free. After...
I ran across this study and thought many of you might find it interesting. Perhaps something that can be used in the web show you're working toward.
Judgments About Fact and Fiction by Children From Religious and Nonreligious Backgrounds

You remember the guy who got famous for posting video's to facebook where he sits in his car and talks really loud and fast about science? Well let's ignore that he got everything he ever said completely wrong. He's going to be close to where I live! Debating on if I should go. Would you submit...
