Day 254 – Memories

Day 254 - Memories

254/365 (Sept 11, 2011) – What do you say on the anniversary of a horrific event committed in the name of religion. Kirk was flying back home from Indianapolis and I spent an hour wandering around Mountain View Cemetery this afternoon while waiting for his plane to arrive. Somehow it seemed fitting.

I wasn’t expecting the rows upon rows of military headstones. Another perspective maker. I have more respect for anyone who does something in the name of Country than I ever will the person who does something in the name of some fantasy being. Why? Because the person who …

‘Sinners, you have four days until Judgment Day. Are you prepared?’

Entertaining column in the Vancouver Sun this morning…..

‘Sinners, you have four days until Judgment Day. Are you prepared?’

OPINION - BY PETE MCMARTIN, VANCOUVER SUN – MAY 17, 2011 6:15 AM

“End is nigh come May 21, billboard campaign proclaims” — Vancouver Sun headline of May 5 story on U.S. evangelist Harold Camping’s prophecy predicting Judgment Day for May 21.

 

Memo to the Godless Masses:

As you may have heard, Judgment Day has been scheduled for May 21. This is not — we repeat, NOT — the End of The World. The End of The World has been

Day 279 - Difference of Opinion

279/365 (October 6, 2010) – I am an atheist so I don’t believe in your god, but I can say that I appreciate the architecture of the monuments that you build in the name of your beliefs.

The Nanaksar Gurdwara Gurusikh Temple out on Westminster Highway.

I was driving out to pick up a new leather motorcycle jacket that was being altered (what a mess that turned out to be and I’m incredibly upset that it’s paid for and a complete disaster, but that’s another story) and pulled off the road on the way home to have a little meltdown. …

Richard Dawkins on militant atheism

Long, but a great and highly entertaining lecture.

Richard Dawkins urges all atheists to openly state their position — and to fight the incursion of the church into politics and science. A fiery, funny, powerful talk.

If you don’t know of Dawkins -

As an evolutionary biologist, Richard Dawkins has broadened our understanding of the genetic origin of our species; as a popular author, he has helped lay readers understand complex scientific concepts. He’s best-known for the ideas laid out in his landmark book The Selfish Gene and fleshed out in The Extended Phenotype: the rather radical notion that

Gay Scientists Isolate Christian Gene

I love this, not even so much for what it says as for what it doesn’t say. When someone doesn’t share your values or ideals, it is assumed that “Something must be wrong with them” and that “We must look for a cure so we can change them and make them see things our way”

Wouldn’t the world be a wonderful place if we could accept each other and celebrate our differences where they really don’t cause any hurt to anyone? When someone’s belief (or lack thereof) has no damaging impact on another, there are still corners of society that …

What Century are we in?

Tragedy strikes a small, poverty stricken country in the Caribbean, an earthquake devastates parts of the island of Hispanola and destroys homes, history, and lives.

And one man gets on his podium and says, “The Devil did it”. This is another example of why religion can be so dangerous.

The television evangelist claimed that The Haitians reached an agreement with the Devil, on the note that if he could rid them of the French, they would be his slaves for ever after.” (Apparently humans can’t revolt against oppression without the Devils assistance?) Pat Robertson proposes that ever since that time, …

Why Computer Operating Systems Are Like Religion

I don’t really know what made me think of this the other day. I was wandering around the internet and reading some of Ann Coulters racist, bigoted, mean-spirited conservative writings. Why? Well, how can you argue against something the other side says if you don’t pay attention to it and try to understand it. It’s easy to blow something off because it doesn’t jive with your own philosophy, and that usually makes reading it offensive and difficult. But it’s better to be educated in your dislike. Then at least you can debate it intelligently.

So how do I go from …

Appliance Shopping and Religion… Who Knew That the Two Were Connected?

We have a few appliances that are on their last legs. Our dishwasher gave out last year and we finally replaced it after Kirk repaired it several times. We’ve been wondering about our fridge as it has become rather loud and ice cream actually softens in the freezer. Our teensy microwave that basically only gets used to heat milk for my morning chai gave up its handle on opening one day. We’ve looked hard, but its the smallest microwave we’ve ever come across and there isn’t anything on the market that will fit in its spot. We have always hated …

A Healthy Dose of Skepticism

When I wanted the Darwin fish for my truck, it was for two reasons.

#1. I am a skeptic. I am a scientist and I think that evolution is as solid a theory as we have available to us because of the volumes of supporting evidence based on solid scientific investigation. I do not use the terms “belief” (because that implies faith) or “proof” (because it is virtually impossible to “prove” anything in science. At best we can disprove hypotheses and the more hypotheses we disprove, the closer we are to finding a solid theory. Science is a process of …

I want this!

I’m getting a new truck in a couple of months and so I will need to replace the Darwin fish since the one on the 4runner would likely break if we tried to get it off. Better to get a shiny new one for my shiny new truck. But then I stumbled on this article… and no, I don’t read The Holy Observer… I just stumbled on this when I Googled “Darwin Fish”.

Selective Information

I generally can’t abide the man, he portrays himself as speaking for the larger scientific community, which he doesn’t. But he makes some stellar points in this particular essay. It’s well worth a read….information is everywhere, critical thinking is not…..

Selective Information Overload

By thegreenpages editor on March 26, 2008 6:26 PM | Science Matters column by David Suzuki with Faisal Moola.

The most powerful force shaping our lives is science, especially when it’s applied by medicine, the military and corporations. All too often, new technologies become part of our lives without much forethought as to their full impacts
