Will Smith was wrong to hit Chris Rock and should be punished. According to the law if possible and according to any violations to the Oscars. This is the part that I agree with and that I see in all the media. However, all aspects relating to Chris Rock seem to have nothing bad to say. So here...

A great contributor to truth, facts, testing, science and reality and separating that from everything else. He demonstrated that research scientists in their own labs can be deceived, setting new standards, exposing fakes, frauds and the ignorant and openmly inviting claimants of the...

E.g. What practical use is it?

Some ramblings of a former fundamentalist. Anyone not interested, there's nothing to see here. A common pleasure or claim to superiority that many theists have is the eternal joy and everlasting life they have, if it is true. This has many flaws (and some benefits). On the down side, it...

I like magic and do a little (purely supernatural of course – what else is there). Perhaps this thread or a series of them can look at such topics. It could be discussing individual magicians or tricks or the ethics involved. You may have seen a totally inexplicable illusion or trick or believe...

I wonder if it would be useful to have a section for students of philosophy (and other subjects like biology and psychology) on here? It could be in the form of a course or Q&A or topics. I am a teacher and would be willing to contribute something if the interest is there and it might open a new...

I like Dr. William Lane Craig. He’s a really nice guy. He is beautifully eloquent. He is an outstanding debater – possibly world class. There are respected atheists who consider that he rarely if ever loses a debate and respect him. He is always calm and collected and listens attentively and...

What is a conspiracy theory and what are traits of conspiracy theorists? Research has been done on this to come up with a set of uniting commonalities that defines a conspiracy theory or theorist. I wonder if anyone cares to expand or define or discuss this here? I also wonder if a person can...

A UFO is a perfectly acceptable and demonstrable thing/term. A UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) is, perhaps surprising to some, an object that flies but is unidentified. It can and is usually if not always natural. Technically, if you throw a banana over someone’s garden and they didn’t quite...

ESP, is a perfectly acceptable and demonstrable thing. With ESP (Extra Sensory Perception), one’s usual understanding of this term is related to psychic or supernatural phenomena. But many people have heightened sensory organs or (perhaps due to a lack of other senses) utilise the ones they...

“Healing miracles occur today as in the past.” A case against and a challenge. A test. I propose a test with basic rules for claimants of divine or supernatural or unknown (in an astounding and scientifically noteworthy sense) healings. E.g. Fred didn’t have/lost his right leg above/below the...

Can I or this forum help fill a needful gap in the market? You know the people or tactic, where someone does you a favour or lends you money and you (perhaps are made to) feel you owe them and you don’t like it? As an evangelist, preacher, teacher and speaker, I taught people about God, the...

Consider this scenario, which is only a theory (as opposed to a practical or real consideration) only due to the difficulty/near impossibility of providing the requirements (resultant considerations mentioned*) to make it work. If you had the opportunity (or could vote) to press a button in one...
