We're Getting Very Close To Figuring Out How Exactly Life Began

It is beginning to look like small molecules made from natural elements actually evolved into life 3.5 to 3.9 billion years ago on earth.

Here is a new article on the subject.


Fundies and plain many plain old believers don't like this topic, but sometimes reality is tough to deal with.

I had my family over to dinner last night. We are all secularists, but one of my brothers is adamant about God existing. He doesn't like my blog, and doesn't want me to interact with my 15 year old nephew regarding science and God. I don't think it is the science stuff so much, but more where it might lead him.

He feels that if someone doesn't believe in God, he/she has no purpose in life. Now he isn't into preaching, and I doubt he knows much about the bible, but he seems to need to believe in God and resents those who don't, and isn't interested in conflicting materials or arguments.

My sister thinks that a belief God is needed to live a moral life. At least she married someone who gets it. The night wasn't a total waste for me. I got into some intellectual discussions with my brother-in-law.

And my nephew was very interested in evolution science. I showed him some clips from this site, and he watched it eagerly. I did tell my brother that you don't need to ignore evolution to believe in God, and that many scientists do believe in God and evolution.

I was actually a bit taken back when my brother said basically not to teach my views to HIS kids, and if I want to teach my views I should have my own kids. This was before I showed my nephew the evolution for students site. When he was about to leave, I printed this and sent him home with it to read. In other words.....don't tell me what I can and can't say to anybody. The only person who can silence me the guy who signs my paycheck:)

Cool Test, If You Want To Break The Ice With A Stranger

I used to get over my shyness using a very similar type of test to this with bar chicks. This is a Personality Test for Bar Chicks.

If you don't have a good to excellent memory, grab a pen and paper. For each question give one or two reasons "why." Here we go:

1. What is your favorite wild animal and why?

2. What is your favorite domestic animal and why?

3. What is your favorite type of tree and why?

4. What is your favorite type of body of water(lake, river, pond, etc.) and why?

5. What is your favorite flower and why?

6. What is your favourite food and why?

7. What is you favorite color and why?

8. What you would do in a white room ,if you could do anything or bring anything you wanted?

9. Describe how you would feel if you were locked in a white room with nothing in it but a simple wooden bench on which you were sitting naked, waiting.? Close your eyes to help you imagine.

Here is the where to go for a quick interpretation of your results. In case you haven't figured it out yet, the whys are the important part of the answer.

I found chicks really liked this type of quiz because it was simple, and about them and what they were supposed to be really like and what they really wanted. They loved the attention, no matter how devious my intentions were. In fact many of them thought I was a psychiatrist or psychology expert because I was so polished on what the answers meant.

The test I used was simple though, only questions 1,2,6, and 9.

Amishav, feel free to wow the Israeli girls with this.

ANN COULTER IS AN EMBARRASSING DITZ

Once again Ann Coulter is stirring the pot with her idiocy, this time with her new book "Godless." From the reviews and the interviews I've seen so far, I have to say that she is a complete nutcase who is just as delusional and NOW just as hurtful (thanks to her comments about 9/11 wives) as Shirley Roper. Same shit, different pile. She is just as disgraceful as Michael Berg and Cindy Sheehan.

She apparently devoted a chapter to evolution and the Left. She calls evolution the religion of the Left whereby the religion of evolution allows Lefties to be void of moralities. She says the Left is without religion. She says that evolution is full of gaps and in fine Fundy form uses Piltdown man and peppered moths of England as examples that evolution is a false science. Of course, she ignores that every genuine biologist on this planet knows evolution is fact, and she ignores the fact that every legitimate scientific discovery fits into evolution theory, and that frauds are constantly looked for and found out by the rigorous scrutinizing that scientific theory goes through.

She makes the false conclusion that evolution is a way for the Godless to prove that there is no God.
That is just ignorant. Evolution is fact. You can make your own conclusions about God but don’t deny real facts and then write about it. Many biologists believe in God, notably, Ken Miller. Evolution disproves a literal bible though........too bad. Geology also disproves a literal bible, so does math. But many Fundies just can’t handle facts that conflict with the bible and take the old age approach of calling anyone who has information contrary to the bible, demonic monsters and heretics.

Considering almost 50% of Americans are Democrat, and thus Lefties by her definition, and 90% of Americans believe in God, how can she call Lefties Godless Evolutionists?
Many Republicans believe in a evolution and many democrats don't. Of course, more Conservatives deny evolution and they also believe in Young Earth nonsense too than Liberal Democrats do. But the idiot lumps everyone together. Her book sounds like a real bad blog.

Take me for instance. I don't apologize for terror. In fact, I'm as hard on terrorists and radical Islam as much as any Far Right Republican is for that matter. I know that radical Islam must be reformed or exterminated. And I deny God's existence, and I know evolution is fact. I am proof that Coulter is a know nothing rhetorical wind bag. I know many Atheists and Agnostic who share my views on Islam. A lot of them comment on this blog. Coulter is an embarrassment to anyone who is Pro-War on Terror. The War on Terror has nothing to do with believing in evolution. In fact, most of who we are fighting are staunch God believers and most Jihadists do not believe in evolution.

I don't need to get into her interview where she stated that Canada sent soldiers to Vietnam and still believed it even when CBC Fifth Estate's Bob McKeown told her she was wrong. Nor do I have to mention her Adam's Apple or man hands in order to ridicule her. I don’t even have to speculate if she pees standing up. I refuse to go down to her levels. The contents of her new book expose her ditziness enough without me slandering her.

Keith Olbermann makes her look like a hypocritical lunatic with respect to her 9/11 comments below:


Griper Blade and Pharyngula both write on Coulter as does Captains Quarters. Good reading.

OBLIGATORY 666 POST

Since Atheists are believed to the sons and daughters of Satan by many fruitcakes out there, I feel compelled to dedicate a post to 666.

I've decided to take a different approach to 666. This is not the first time the year or date 666 has been upon us. The first time was the Hebrew year 666, but nobody had a clue about Christianity or the concept of a calendar back then. It was still around 990 years before Noah saved 2 of every animal on this planet, except for dinosaurs. He watched all the dinosaurs drown, the heartless basturd. I still can't believe he would do such a thing.

Then came the Roman calendar. I don't know how or if they recorded year dates, and I'm not interested in making this my lifes work to find out. I know they didn't use BC unless they were really clairvoyant. The Julian Caesar started in the year 46 BC, but again, I have no idea if Julias started with year 1. The man or myth Jesus was born in the Gregorian calendar year of 0-4 AD, which would mean he was a toddler or maybe a kindergartner June 6th, 06, if he existed at all. Of course they didn't call it that back then.

The year 1268 AD coincides with the Islamic calendar for the 666. It was a time in history that the Mongolians were starting to try to steal the land that the Muslims stole a few centuries earlier.

Ok, enough already. Here is where I'm going with this. I'm not too sure when the relevance of the Mark of the Beast scared the Jeebus out of certain people. But if it was known during the Gregorian year of 1006, May 1st 1006 would have been a sure sign the end was 35 days away. Unfortunately, the Gregorian calendar didn't come into affect until 1582. But on May 1st, 1006, the brightest Supernova ever was seen by mankind in recorded history. It must have scared everyone regardless.

Watch this video and see why May 1st, 1006 was a date that many astronomers would love to go back to if they could use a time machine.

Gay Marriage Amendment Blows

George Bush will eat the corn out of the Christian Right's feces it seems, in order to get votes. If it ever passed, it would just be a sad day for humanity and one giant leap into the theocratic abyss.



Here are some of my thoughts:

In prehistoric times, a man and a woman had sex, the woman got pregnant and the man hunted and gathered for a couple of years until the child was able to stand. Then he went to spread his genes elsewhere.

Churches didn't become involved in marriages until the 9th Century. And prior to the 6th Century, all people had to do was say they were married.

Marriage is just a way to celebrate the union of two people who think they will be together until one of them croaks.

Divorce rates are high, even amongst Evangelicals. Many marriages are crocks or turn into them.

It has only been a very short time since studies have confirmed that most gays aren't gay by choice. It is genetic, even in women, studies show that the tendency toward lesbianism occurs during fetal development.

Marriage is about two people who think they love each other and want to have children in many cases.

Weddings are a way to get families together to celebrate the union of two people who think they love each other.

What happens when a man and a woman marry and the man or woman goes through a sex change if same sex marriage is banned?

What about hermaphrodites? Can they get married?

Anyone who is stupid enough to get married, should be allowed to.

Sex with children and animals is wrong, it is like killing a person for absolutely no reason. Someone who does this should be locked up and has his/her genitals removed. Pedophelia and beastiality are choices and/or sicknesses. Homosexuality is not a sickness and in most cases, not a choice. Homosexuality is not a criminal offense. Beastiality and pedophelia are, or at least should be always.

Why does it matter so much to some people if two gays want to call their union a marriage? Get a life.

When a male Fundy gets a divorce or his wife dies, who does he spend eternity with? Are you allowed to have many wives in heaven. Is it just one big orgy because the wives too could have been married once or twice before.

This whole thing is just about bible thumpers being against homosexuality period. They can say that the bible says that homosexuality is wrong, but if they want to go by the bible, the only marriages were arranged. Maybe we should go back to those days.

One final thought. I still don't like seeing two men kiss, not even when Tony Soprano kisses another mobster on the cheek as a greeting.
