I've been super busy with school this semester -- no time for Atheist Nexus, sadly!!
If anyone who's around here a lot wants me to toss them moderation privileges to run this group or anything, just send me (Sara) a message! Thanks!

Removed ability to send mass messages to everyone in the group. At 1000+ members, that seems like asking for spam.

Offer still open if anyone active in the group wants moderation privileges, but it appears everything has been going smoothly with all kinds of great discussions without moderation. Fantastic! :)

Hey, science heads! Posted a link to a story about earlier animal emergence than previously known. It's over in the Origins group.

Hello, I am new as well.

I am by trade an engineer, and I love all science with a passion.

I'm a retired high school science teacher (primarily biology) I have a strong interest in evolutionary biology, biodiversity and sociobiology.
I had to deal with the biblical literalist almost every year of my career; after about 20 years of being nice to the nuts, I found that sarcastic and rude worked better. That mind set will never accept reality so I found it useless to expend any time pursuing rational conversation with them.

Hey all, I'm new. I love science, but I excel in physics and chemistry.
I'm a huge fan of of Darwin and Nietzsche.

Sorry about the off-topic-ness of this post. This is a response to Sara's posit of creating a group on Paleontology.

Paleontology is a broad spectrum subject that draws a lot of debate and insight. What I like about it is it brings in so many other branches of science. Whether it's from the Precambrian period or all the way to the present, other fields are needed to see what made things tick from what evidence is garnered. I'm particularly interested (from an armchair perspective at my age) in proto hominids. I was very aware of what the IHO had discovered. It's too bad there was a falling out with others at Cal that caused Dr. Johanson to move the project to Arizona. My father (also an educator) was involved with raising funds for their projects. That was perhaps one of the more enlightened times in my life when I felt connected to something important.

Please have at it! Create another group! I might be further compelled to research and contribute.

Hey all, I do love science especially physics and chemistry and I like reading Richard Dawkins boos very interesting. Im currently studying a BSc in Graphics which doesn't sound "sciency" but it is sort of computer science with hexidecimals and such. I do however hate how scientists test on animals its not right...couldn't we test on Christians (joking)

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 0 Comments

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film.  The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons.  He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:28pm 2 Comments

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"!  .

 

 

No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes.  'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands.  Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
