I just found this youtube video of Bertrand Russell explaining why he doesn't believe in god. The video is from 1959 and Russell was born in May 1872. It just brings a smile to my face seing an old man, born in the 19th century speaking this reasonably. I also like that he dismisses the usual...

Don't really know where to put this. I guess it's a mix between pseudo-science, religion, and philosophy. My dad has been a bit of a nutter all his life. He had a friend in highschool who told him he could actually see his aura and who was able to tell your sicknesses just by looking at it...

So this old colleague of mine, whom I went to school with some 8 years ago converted to be a fundamentalist chirstian some 6 years ago. On facebook, he posted this lame video: I'd say it even mocks itself (as in the end, jesus is the one standing on the meter, which would officially mean...

note to moderator: Yes, my topic has "theism" in it. Still, I didn't post this in "Atheism and Theism", as agnosticism is a philosophic view, and this is what I want to stress in this post, as it seems like it is a very misunderstood term. One thing I noticed while reading these forums and...

A quick search for "lhc" revealed no results, so I thought I'd post a few links on the work done in Geneva . Too bad they were set back one year because of an incident. But they're adding more safety and monitoring features: From wikipedia: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest...

Hi. So I've been looking at this problem for a while, seen some videos about creationists and their tactics, and it is obviously a problem. Scientists have long ignored creationist ramblings because they are so absurd and unrealistic that any sane person would walk away. But apparently, people...
