Rock of Ages

By now it should be thoroughly apparent to my followers that I have little patience for creationism. It’s an unscientific idea that undermines efforts to understand the world we live in. To be a creationist you need to first ignore fields of study like geology, biology and astronomy. You need to be capable of either […]

TV Show Challenge Day 15

Today I’m taking a look at my favourite superhero show. Superheroes are flavour of the month, at least in cinema, and recently several TV shows have popped up to either tie into existing universes, or create new ones that ride on the coattails of the movies.

An honourable mention goes to the […]

Storms at Silverstone – the 2016 British Grand Prix

In the context of the championship, Silverstone represented a reset button. There is effectively nothing between the Mercedes duo of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton as we prepare for the second half of the season. Hamilton took his 47th career win, having also taken his 55th pole on Saturday, and now has four wins in […]

Statistics and Lies

There’s a notion out there which is built upon prejudice and the misrepresentation of facts. Whether this is done deliberately or not, I cannot say. There is a notion among conservative religious right types that marriage is ‘owned’ by the Church, and the Church is subsequently owed a say in the gay marriage debate. They […]
