God & Stephen Hawking Dispute the Existence of Heaven: Guess WHO Wins?

Stephen Hawking essentially thinks heaven is a comforting fairy tale for those afraid of death. God, of course, disagrees, as revealed in His Holy Word, the Bible. In an interview published in The Guardian, the 69-year-old theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking claims says the human brain is like a computer that will stop working when its components fail. […]

A Sirius Christmas: Santy Claus Is Outsourcing, The Meaning of Merry CHRISTmas & The Holidays Are Happy, but Biased

Santy Claus Is Outsourcing! He’s gotta be. How else do we explain those pernicious little twisty ties that bind every toy to the box at the molecular level? Can we attribute this cruel packaging development to good-hearted, jolly ol’ Saint Nick? Doesn’t this seem more on par with some trick of Ol’ Scratch? Can a […]

Reasonable Enough: Why Reason Does Not Compel Acceptance

It is COMPLETELY WRONG to say that I think atheists or any other non-Christians would agree with me if they would just open up their eyes and see reason.  I do not believe reason could infect someone [profoundly affect someone] so as to compel them to see my position as truth. I don’t think that […]

Why the Need for Interpretation Does NOT Prove a Religion False

A few blog posts I’ve come across contend that the very fact that the Bible [or any other text that claims to be of Divine origin] needs to be translated automatically invalidates its claims to Divine origin. Upon further inspection it became obvious that they simply weren’t accounting for free will.

Creation Cryptids: Little Green Men & UFOs 2

A Christian simply has to acknowledge the UFO enigma. I mean, what are these strange lights in the heavens? Who pilots them, if anyone? And why in the blazes are they in our skies? And who benefits? [More on this in a moment.] Now there are several ways we might account for UFOs. 1. A […]

The Church of PZ “Wackaloon” Myers & Ideological Child Abuse

Yes, the title of this blog is inflammatory. Yes, it’s on purpose. I hope I have your attention. Recently, I made a comment defending Ken Ham after PZ Myers of Pharyngula fame called him a “wackaloon” and then invited “millions” [dream on, PZ. Neither you nor Darwinism is THAT popular] of others to pour some […]

Higher Ignorance – At least the name’s accurate

Lately, I’ve been reading two books: The Religious Case Against Belief by James P. Carse and I Don’t Believe in Atheists by Chris Hedges. I think both books are a waste of print, though they say largely the same thing. They both promote a fuzzy, pseudo-existentialist post-modernism, but try to give it a gloss of […]

Atheists & Evolutionists: They Always Appeal To A Higher Power

Has anyone else noticed this somewhat endearing trend amongst atheists and evolutionists? Whenever they’re boxed into a corner and can’t answer a bleeding argument, they nearly immediately invoke some sort of “super-atheist,” some sort of fundie neoDarwin apologist, some member of the oft-described “better/smarter men than I” club. Be it richarddawkins.net, talkorigins or their favorite antitheistic author […]

Why Naturalism Makes Darwin Unfalsifiable

Naturalism. By definition, it is the presupposition that the world came into being, developed [i.e. - evolved] to its present state and is sustained by purely material processes. God is not needed. Or so they hope. I think they’ve mistaken the concept of a God who is not wanted [by them, at any rate] with […]

Transitional Forms: Dinosaurs and Bunny Rabbits, or Why the Speculative Nature of Darwinism makes it Unfalsifiable

Evolution been a matter of speculation [read: a vivid imagination] since Darwin first made the theory of atheistic origins popular. He theorized that life had a common descent and had developed from one-celled organisms to soft-bodied invertebrates to athropods to fish to frogs to reptiles to dinosaurs to mammals to man via innumerable small changes […]

Antitheism and Apatheism: Beyond Atheism and Agnosticism

Two groups of people most commonly come to my blog with a bone to pick. I’ve said it before: Anyone who comes out of an argument with me and is still convinced of their own opinion simply wasn’t listening. This holds especially true for antitheists and apatheists. I think it’s clear that a group of […]

Sirius Knott : Thoughts on Expelled!

First, I’d like to thank the atheists, without which I wouldn’t have heard about this movie. I wondered what all of the fuss was about when blogs started erupted vitriol over Ben Stein’s film months in advance of its release. Now that I’ve seen Expelled! No Intelligence Allowed, I recognize their mindless railings for what […]
