Why calling theism “primitive superstition” shows primitive understanding.

Posted on January 19, 2013 By

“In the history of science, ever since the famous trial of Galileo, it has repeatedly been claimed that scientific truth cannot be reconciled with the religious interpretation of the world. Although I am now convinced that scientific truth is unassailable in its own field, I have never found it possible to dismiss the content of religious thinking as simply part of an outmoded phase in the consciousness of mankind, a… Read More

Why believing precedes knowing…and EVERYONE has a faith.

Posted on December 2, 2012 By

“Anybody who has seriously been engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: Ye must have faith. It is a quality which the scientist cannot dispense with… Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. That is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of nature and therefore a part of… Read More

Why trying to explain away God with science is an ERROR

Posted on October 17, 2012 By

In order to please my readers, I have made the bold decision to begin this essay in an utterly groundbreaking fashion…by providing a surprise bonus feature (that will, at first, seem unrelated to the topic of this essay):  I will now explain the mystery of the JFK assassination. The decades of waiting are finally over. Sit tight…here it goes: The ignition of a powder mixture consisting of the chemicals sulfur,… Read More

Why God? Why not just plain luck?

Posted on September 10, 2012 By

“Blind metaphysical necessity, which is certainly the same always and everywhere, could produce no variety of things. All that diversity of natural things which we find suited to different times and places could arise from nothing but the ideas and will of a Being, necessarily existing.” –Sir Isaac Newton, who is widely regarded to have been the greatest scientist of all time, as cited in Principia, which is perhaps the… Read More

Why atheism is self-defeating.

Posted on July 9, 2012 By

Whoever it was that first said, “The hardest part of my job is getting other people to do my job for me” apparently didn’t have the job of refuting naturalism, which is the belief (upon which atheism is based) that the natural world is self-existent, and therefore does not require an intelligent cause (God). This is because naturalism is a self-defeating belief system. By creating this self-defeating belief system, naturalists… Read More

The God of the Gaps: Why God and science are not competing explanations.

Posted on June 11, 2012 By

“The common belief that… the actual relations between religion and science over the last few centuries have been marked by deep and enduring hostility… is not only historically inaccurate, but actually a caricature so grotesque that what needs to be explained is how it could possibly have achieved any degree of respectability.” –Cambridge University historian of science Colin Russell “Just because science hasn’t explained something yet doesn’t mean that we… Read More
