Is philosophy wrong and evil as I’ve been told in the past? One biblical passage, in the letter to the Colossae church, is given as proof text. Now, I think those who make such claim get this passage wrong. In addition, I have two humorous side notes about those who make such claims. I’ve noticed […]

In an article by Kate Ryan, titled “Follow Bill Nye’s Lead And Use Science To Quiet Pro-Lifers“, she makes a “logical” case why Pro-Lifers are illogical. Yes, you heard that right.

My love for self-refuting statements has only grown over the years. You see, I’m never sure if I should laugh or cry when I see them. Oh, you never heard of them? Well, you’re in for a real treat! Also called “self-referential incoherent proposition” or “self-referential absurdity”, they can be seen when a non-indigenous English speaker […]
Flash floods. Bad storm. The dam overflows…then brakes. Billy hears the rush of water hit his house as he awakes. Floods rise as he climbs on his table, but the water is getting higher. Standing upon a chair on the table he grabs the beam, he swings, smashing the window that leads out to the […]
Join me, if you would, and think about a magician’s act, who’s not mesmerized by the “trickery”? We all know the card tricks, “death defying” antics, and captivating“disappearing” and then “reappearing” moves are basically misdirection, sleight of hand and skill.

Near the end of his article, Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist who starred in the series “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey”, talks about what was prior to the universe’s existences. After making some slightly disparaging remarks toward the theists view, he postulates a couple other “where the universe came from” ideas. The multiverse and it “just […]
Interestingly, prominent agnostics, atheists [1] and Christians of various persuasions agree on at least one thing, philosophy is of little worth. Other Christians are afraid of the enterprise.

For one like me, whose mind never seems to rest, there is a burden that I call “the thinker’s bane.” You see, as thoughts increasingly swirl around in my mind my brain at times aches some. It’s genetic. Writing helps releases those thoughts. But there is a concern when one thinks, one needs true knowledge […]
