Pseudoscience

Pseudoscience. What is it and how to recognise it?

Talk Origins' index of arguements against creationism and its mutant spawn, intelligent design.

The "Richard Dawkins Stumped" video exposed as a hoax.



And he provides an answer to the question. The tinyurl link in the video doesn't work but this is where it should have gone according to the youtuber who added the video.

Atheists by country

Have you wondered if you were alone? Adherents.com has put up a handy list.

Hitchens at the University of Toronto

Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss

A discussion between Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss - first of twelve.



There is no need for me to introduce this. It is just a nice place to rest your mind away from all those hate filled theists. If you double click on the youtube image/window you will end up at youtube and, thus, the next video.

The moral necessity of atheism - Hitchens

The first video of eight - just follow your nose from there.

Kristy's Poem

An extract from Kristy's poem.

Dawkins calls for militant atheism.

Long but excellent. :)

Christian kindness in action.

I expect that PZ Meyers never thought he would be popular with fundies.
Now he is receiving daily death threats from the faithful. Is this the morality that the bible is teaching? Theists accuse me of not knowing how to be good because I don't pray to their special brand of superfriend. Somehow, without the threat of eternal damnation I know that sending death threats to science lecturers over a difference of opinion is not good behaviour.

Now, I can hear all the fundies out there thinking: 'But we would never do that! Jesus blah blah blah!' (Wait, would there be uppercase and spelling errors in their thoughts... 'But WE wood NEVER DO that!!!!!!! JESUS SED,.j blah blah blah!!!!!!!1!' because knowing how to spell or express yourself logically is definately not in the bible and, thus, is against god.)

Anyway, PZ Meyers has come up with an excellent solution. He has posted all the details of the emails including the IP information, full name, email address and the full text of the email in his blog. Given that these emails contain death threats, I would imagine that the police would be taking an interest.

Hitchens Illustrated

Hitchens never pulls his punches. This is another fantastic arguement against religion. Illustrated by 43Alley.

Part One:



Part Two:

FightingAtheist's excellent Youtube presentation.

"Creationists are the ultimate skeptics. They will believe in men being raised from the dead and talking ghosts that can impregnate virgins without even a shred of evidence, but when confronted with the evidence for biological evolution they transform into staunch critics upholding the highest burdens of proof ever constructed."
