“If you step outside on a warm clear night and look up, what do you see? Imagine answering that question 400 years ago. What did people see then, gazing at the stars? It is remarkable that in seeing the same thing we see today, they nevertheless saw a different universe with a completely different set of meanings both in itself and for their own personal lives. This marks a highly significant fact: that at the beginning of the seventeenth century the mind – the mentality, the world-view – of our best-educated and most thoughtful forbears was still fundamentally continuous with that of their own antique and medieval predecessors; but by the end of that century it had become modern. This striking fact means that the seventeenth century is a very special period in human history”

I recently spent a day on Twitter with a couple of theists who held the frighteningly common belief that humankind has not evolved from apes and we are now as we have always been from day six! Now I know what you’re all thinking… it would have been easy to shoot them down.

Well, hell! The shit we see, right? I will admit I have watched the documentary Scientology: Going Clear… The Prison Of Belief about a dozen times.

I now feel I was completely clueless into the truth behind this cult. Having studied various cults for a previous blog I had found this one pretty harmless.

How wrong I was!!!!

From Russia to Nigeria, from Slovakia to Australia a seemingly  innocuous definition of a “natural family” is quietly being used to justify the criminalisation of abortion and LGBT rights.  Pushing this definition is the World Congress of Families.

Archaeology – Religion’s Nemesis!

Biblical Mythology, Judea, The bible and Archaeology

I sometimes get into debates with theists who refreshingly appear to wish to discuss evidence.

Not surprisingly, the evidence they have is usually “I’ve got this book”, or “historians admit the Bible is real, they know Jesus existed”.
