The Age of the Earth

TEWSNBN has recently written on the age of the earth, ‘refuting’ scientific forms of establishing how old our planet is. Naturally, TEWSNBN insists that only a true understanding of the Bible yields the truth. This has been a topic of great interest to almost everyone who is curious about our origins. The unbeliever does not […]

‘Let’s Change Orbit!’

Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-TX) wonders if there is any way the National Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management can change the rotation of the moon and sun rather than enact reasonable climate change measures. Someone needs to get him to a doctor, stat. pic.twitter.com/DBQrgOsQ6d — Bryan (@Bryan13571) June 10, 2021 Republican and Texan Representative […]

Viruses, Vaccines and More

Time for another cross-post with the Coalition site. This post links into my lengthy debate with David of Theology Archaeology on the subject of faith healing, and also some flat earth arguments by one Hesedyahu. It’s Hesedyahu’s site that interests me this time around, and specifically his arguments against ‘germ theory’. Let’s begin with this […]

Flat Earthers P4c

We continue to dissect the arguments put forward that the earth is somehow not a sphere: So what evidence is given to prove that what I stand on is part of a spinning, orbitting, wobbling ball in a great and grand blackness, just one of many flying things? Boats going over the horizon bottom first? […]

Flat Earthers P4b

Time to continue with the dissection of Hesedyahu’s Flat Earth post (though another way of looking at this is that Hesedyahu opposed the notion of what he considers blindly accepting a spherical earth). My first look at his arguments can be found here. Now, by “first principles,” I’m not using that in a technical sense. […]

Trusting vs not Trusting

In an earlier post about the Flat Earth idea, I mentioned that it’s entirely right to ask questions. Asking questions is how we learn. It’s how we discover. Asking questions is what has propelled the human race forward. As we answer questions, we discover new questions. It’s a fascinating, never-ending cycle. Of course, questions are […]

Flat Earthers P4

It’s been a while since I’ve sunk my teeth into the Flat Earth subject, but I stumbled upon a lengthy post about it here, and thought I would offer a few thoughts, a few questions, and a look at the response of the author (Hesedyahu) to a couple of queries. Before I do so, I […]

The Meerkat Muse – 24/02/2021

Welcome ‘kats, to the latest round of Meerkat Musings! What’s been happening? Well, NASA successfully landed Perseverance on Mars, only to find someone waiting… Ahem. Jokes aside, this is pretty special, considering the launch, trip and landing have been handled during a time of social distancing and the pandemic. Congratulations to NASA for this amazing […]

‘The Cure is not from Science’

I mean, obviously the cure isn’t from science… it’s not like the processes to find how to neutralise Covid-19 were developed by painstaking study, study that was built upon decades, indeed centuries, of research and learning. The fields of chemistry and biology clearly contributed nothing to the vaccines. This short article is based on the […]

Vaccines Work

I’m probably known by now (insofar that I am known) for butting heads with some anti-scientific zealots. I’ve contended with flat-earthers, science deniers and faith healing advocates. It’s on the last subject that a particular connection can be found with this post. Please note that I am not saying vaccines are risk-free, however consider their […]
