One of my most regular commenters on this blog, Eric, is trying to understand evolution. I, we, are trying to help him. This post arose from Eric's comment that "I [...]

The big advantage of having an atheist prime minister is that she can give the country seven days a week hard work instead of spending Sundays in the company of imaginary beings and people who believe in imaginary beings.

This post was inspired by this latest piece of offensive nonsense from Australia’s Pope-in-waiting, the awe-full Cardinal P-ll.

Once more over the top, hunting bugle blowing, and the atheists will be put to flight, vanquished at last. PZ [...]

There used to be, and still may be, a computer facility that allows you to program particular function keys on the keyboard to produce a whole phrase with one keystroke.

Well, at last I am all booked in for The 2010 Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne, Australia, March 12 – 14, 2010. They had, amazingly, already sold out of gold passes, so you had better get in quick. I hope many of my readers will see me there, oh, as well as checking out Dawkins [...]
