Happy Solstice to all, and to all a good night.

  • by

Across the globe, from Stonehenge to Newgrange, ancient monuments align with the solstice sun, showcasing humanity’s long-standing reverence for our life-giving star. As the Northern Hemisphere experiences the shortest day, and the Southern Hemisphere its longest, we’re reminded of the Sun’s central role in our lives, transcending cultural and religious divides. From the ancient Goseck Circle’s alignment to the serpent-like shadow at Tulum’s Mayan Temple, these events highlight the sun’s influence throughout history, well before the advent of major religions. Join me in celebrating the Solstice, a time for reflection, renewal, and recognizing our place in the universe. Let’s appreciate the sun, our universal binder, and the reason for our existence on this incredible planet.

Eternal life?

How we’ll exist past our deaths (an ‘afterlife’ of sorts).

  • by

We know that the matter and energy comprising you will continue to exist beyond your death, certainly for millions of years past the date that your life ends. You are made of material that has existed throughout the entire course of life on Earth, and in fact, was previously part of other life forms. Their matter and energy exist in you right now, and in the future, yours will exist in others.

Astrology is an ancient refuted artifact

We Know Astrology is Ancient Nonsense

Endorsing astrology dismisses the rigorous standards of proof and falsifiability essential to the scientific method, undermining our collective pursuit of verifiable truth and understanding in a society that relies on reason and science. Alongside its scientific implausibility, astrology embodies an undercurrent of egotism, absurdly suggesting that the vast, complex cosmos has a direct influence on specks of life on this pale blue dot.

Tyler Henry is great at this

How do we explain Tyler Henry?

  • by

The existence of celebrity mediums like Tyler Henry simply alerts us to the fact that people are easily misled into believing in supernatural claims, even while such claims lack any scientific credibility.

What do we know about every element that goes into producing a Tyler Henry TV segment? We likely don’t know much about the production elements that could give Tyler the ability to “cheat.” However, we do know some of the ways that mediums make their trickery seem real…

Unveiling the Truth: How the Church Resisted Science for Centuries

  • by

There’s a trend among theists to argue that the Church embraces science, but this revisionist and biased mindset overlooks the reality of the Church’s delayed, rather than proactive, pursuit of scientific truth. They reluctantly acknowledge critical facts about our existence only in the face of overwhelming evidence, and often many years after such science has become so universally accepted that their opposition places them in a fringe minority.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is on the board of Ray Comfort’s publishing company

  • by

The recent revelation that House Speaker Mike Johnson holds a board position at Ray Comfort’s Living Waters Publications is unsettling. That a politician with Johnson’s influence would align with Ray Comfort’s brand of intolerant, relentless proselytizing of Christianity rings major alarm bells. This goes beyond mere misguided beliefs; it’s a direct assault on the inclusivity that defines America. Comfort’s years of public harassment are now frighteningly endorsed at a high level. As we approach future elections, it’s imperative to actively work to dismantle these regressive forces of power.
