Science and Faith (Once More)

It’s been a little while since I’ve tackled any of the stuff coming out of Theology Archaeology. There’s been nothing I would especially care to challenge, aside from the odd phrase, and I’ve had more important stuff going on to spend my time going after such minute details. However, one of his most recent posts […]

Our Nearest Neighbour

Invisible to the naked eye, and sitting just over four light years from the Sun, sits a small, comparatively cool and seemingly insignificant star. Except this type of star is by far the most common in the galaxy and most likely the universe. More importantly, Proxima Centauri might yet host the most important find of […]

The Creationists vs the Meerkat (again)

  I don’t even know why. I sort of despair at both the material I’m reading, and myself. I’m not merely hurling myself at a brick wall. I’m loading myself into a cannon, and blasting myself toward it, even though I know full well it won’t do any good. Yet still I launch myself. Why? […]

To be a creationist you need to first ignore fields of study like geology, biology and astronomy. You need to be capable of either […]

Anti-Vaxxers Biggest Challenge Yet…

I spotted this via Carla Louise (thanks for sharing this on FB, I thought it summed them up nicely!), and decided to make sure it reaches as wide an audience as possible. It just goes to show the levels to which some people will sink in order to ‘prove’ vaccination is bad.

Nope, not Gonna

Having recently gotten involved in several heavy discussions, I’m now looking at some of the absurd arguments being made by anti-vaccers. Yes, there are people out there who believe vaccination is dangerous and the evidence for its success is all part of a big, money-grabbing conspiracy. I mean, seriously?! I have little patience for conspiracy […]
