What the Boss Likes – White House petition calling for investigation and prosecution of those who lied about the Iraq War

A small break for some politics by holding people accountable.  Please sign the petition here.  Sorry, my international friends, you unfortunately can't. "In that all evidence so far revealed supports that the Bush/Cheney administration intentionally lied to involve the US into the Iraq War, there should be an investgation into who was responsible for the … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – White House petition calling for investigation and prosecution of those who lied about the Iraq War →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 8 – #19 the first half, geology, misapprehensions about evolution, carbon dating and more quote-mining

We’re on the home stretch now, though the section numbered 19 is probably the longest one.  It’s also probably the best for someone like me who wishes to show how creationists are just so silly.  The pdf of the text of the last part (sections 19-23) of our TrueChristiantm’s post is here: truechristian post 19-23. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 8 – #19 the first half, geology, misapprehensions about evolution, carbon dating and more quote-mining →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 7 – more geology and creationist “credentials”

If you’ve haven’t been reading along in the original post, you won’t know that the name of the book “_” is verbatim from his text of part 16. One would hope the poster would correct that but it is unintentionally funny and demonstrative on how much real evidence bible literalists and young earth creationists have.   … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 7 – more geology and creationist “credentials” →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 6 – Geology and the burden of proof

In 14 (of the original post here), our Christian reveals that river floods aren’t worldwide. Great shock to all of you, I know.  After finding this bit of the glaringly obvious, he then declares that while ancient people knew this kind of flood, they certainly wouldn’t mistake it for a global flood “even after the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 6 – Geology and the burden of proof →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 5 – Not so much geology but dueling myths

We are now at section 13.  One can see the desperation rise noticeably.  I’ve posted the typed text of his post at the end of this paragraph, rather than put it into the body of the blog post.   It’s a pdf of sections 13-18 (so I’ll be referring to it in subsequent posts). Be warned, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 5 – Not so much geology but dueling myths →

From the Bar and Kitchen – Pizza break

A pizza break to get away from the stultifying theist nonsense and give my poor eyes a rest.   This weekend’s meal and a movie is homemade pizza and “The Spirit”.  The movie, “The Spirit” is from 2008.  It was a riff on what made Sin City popular, stylized graphics, hyperviolence and a distinctly noir feel.  … Continue reading From the Bar and Kitchen – Pizza break →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The Illegible Post, Part 4 – On population bottlenecks and honesty

In this installment of “just how silly can this get”, we have our Christian making some claims about science in some detail and in general.  “#11 This population bottleneck is a matter of genuine science and the excuse for it not being true is probably just as valid as any second rate blogger’s posts can … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The Illegible Post, Part 4 – On population bottlenecks and honesty →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The illegible post, part 3 – On fictional characters and the nature of reality

Here’s a quoted section from the Illegible Post.  It’s obviously not completely illegible since I can indeed recognize letters of the alphabet in it.  However, comprehension is quite an effort when it comes to our current Christian’s writing. I’ve broken it up a bit to try to isolate individual points for the sake of clarity.  … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The illegible post, part 3 – On fictional characters and the nature of reality →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The illegible post, part 2 – on aliens and things

   “You know there are probably no “rocks” on Alpha Centauri since it’s a star, but  maybe it has a planetary system. No aliens in the Biblical perspective because God made the earth to be inhabited and the heavens above it for His glory, not for life. Fine the extraterrestrial critter and prove that it’s not … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The illegible post, part 2 – on aliens and things →
