My musings on religion and scepticism. Friday, 23 October 2009. He Works in Magisterious Ways. The most famous defence of the accomodationist position was made by Stephen Jay Gould in his definition of science and religion as " non-overlapping magisteria. Scientists may be able to tell us how the Earth came to be formed and how life evolved on it, but it is to the clergy that questions about the meaning of that life ought to be addressed. The Bible is full of explanations of how things work and how thing...

Following wide-spread media attention, and features by journalists such as Louis Theroux. Their methods of picketing the funerals of victims of anti-gay hate crime, as well as service men, with slogans such as “God hates fags” and “Thank God for 9/11″ have become well known and widely despised. Homosexuality, they assert. To desp...

My musings on religion and scepticism. Tuesday, 19 May 2009. My Back Hurts - Poke Me with Toothpicks! Thelondonpaper, the only newspaper I read regularly, and one which I am generally willing to defend as being relatively thoughtful and intelligent, especially for a free publication, has joined. For proclaiming that acupuncture works. Based on a recent study. There was only one thing for it. We sent our promotions manager Sarah Cox to an acupuncturist to relieve her chronic back pain. Perhaps I should ex...

Free From Faith: Was Paradise Lost?
http://free-from-faith.blogspot.com/2010/05/was-paradise-lost.html
My musings on religion and scepticism. Wednesday, 19 May 2010. The story of Adam and Eve. Being of such central importance, the Eden story is one of the best known of the Bible, taught early to young children. The story and its apparent message are ubiquitously known by anyone who has any knowledge of Christianity or Judaism:. I believe a useful comparison to this story exists in sci-fi literature. This may seem like something of a digression, but bear with me a minute and consider almost any dystopi...

My musings on religion and scepticism. Friday, 27 March 2009. Kreed Kafer, please. So what has Derek Acorah been up to since his retirement from Most Haunted in the aftermath the Kreed Kafer incident. Well, it turns out he has a new self titled talking-to-the-dead show on one of the more obscure Sky channels. Can I say to you, please, you would have knowledge of certain knowledge, but can I say to you, please, would I be correct, please, in my feelings of a person that would have been in - uh uh - connec...

My musings on religion and scepticism. Tuesday, 13 April 2010. What Do They Think? Politics is one of those areas I find it very difficult to be interested by.

However, at the European elections last year, I decided to try my hardest to become interested and educate myself about the decision ahead of me. Yes absolutely. The web ...
