    The Four Dirty Secrets Against Darwin Evolution

    Yes. No. Your example is like saying "Where cow is A (milk producing) and lizard is ¬A (not milk producing)." One thing may have a property and another thing might not. A more accurate statement might be: If you believe science is true (and it rejects miracles) AND you believe religion is...

    The Four Dirty Secrets Against Darwin Evolution

    My daughter watched a video by Forrest Valkai (really good science educator) who said exactly (at least as relayed to me) your second sentence.

Fundamentally, things like spirits and souls and gods are different. I can draw a direct correlation between the light switch...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    When one has experience with something, one begins to understand one's experience. When one has lots of experience with a thing, one begins to understand that thing. Given that every time I flip a light switch the light comes on, I understand that the light will come on when I flip the switch...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    If I don't understand something, I don't understand it. That's precisely why to not trust it. Trusting what you don't understand is flat out dangerous. But I never have an intuition that that which I don't understand is right. As for embracing life, on average, I find it trivially easy. When...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    Why should one trust what one doesn't understand? Seems like a bad idea.

    No, he's not. (Well, that was easy.)
