<b>The Towering Strength of Science versus the debility of dogmatic religion</b>

The Towering Strength of Science
.
Millions of atheist scientists and other rational freethinkers know full well, through the application of unbiased commonsense and the results of millions of complex experiments and the calculations of astute experimental and theoretical physicists, that we humans inhabit a tiny part of what is a vast godless universe of immense age; and that we have good reason to infer that gods exist nowhere but in the imaginations, stories and lies of faith-driven men.

So how can bible-believers seriously defend their ever-shrinking part of the world against the supreme logic produced by elite scientists when there is no case to answer? Why are there faith-believers at all?

A principal reason is that once the fictions of faith get into people’s heads it is difficult to be rid of them. Indoctrinated when young, they indoctrinate the young of their own and of others, and the cycle of merciless irrationality continues.

These dogmatic bigots never let go—and that is because they never listen, their minds are already made up, and they are incapable of understanding and absorbing new knowledge no matter how thoroughly well-tested and proven the latter may be.

If freethinkers could only reason with the religious, there would be no religious. 
.
Lord Byron: “Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves”.
.

Only freethinkers and scientists see the universe clearly and correctly for its materiality and man’s place in it as an evolutionary accident but a marvel nonetheless.

Religionists sink inside the mental quagmire and nightmare of their own making for it is philosophically incontestable, when the evidence is well presented and the listener has a high enough level of intelligence and freedom of thought, that gods exist nowhere but inside people’s heads—and that is that.

Burnt Toast: Atheist Sees Image of the 'Birth of Earth' in a Piece of Toast

Atheist Sees Image of the 'Birth of Earth' in Burnt Toast



Yes it’s true.

This genuine picture was photographed in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, England by science atheist Dr. Terence Meaden earlier this month.

He could barely withhold his excitement.

“I was having breakfast when this piece of ciabatta toast got burnt,” he said. “Suddenly I was aware that the pattern of light and darkness across the toast resembled what could have been…

Today is the first anniversary of founding the "Origins" group

Posted on September 15, 2009 at 4:30pm 11 Comments

Today 15th September 2009 is the first anniversary of founding “Origins”.



I had joined Atheist Nexus in August 2008 and soon thought that a group discussing the ideas and problems of “origins” of any kind, whether real (through responsible scientific research, discovery and rational contemplation) or fallacious (as with unproven beliefs including the fraudulent religions and other swindles, impostures, deceits and hoaxes) would be helpful.

Hello,    My name is Mike Yohe.

Really like your work. Just became a member today.

But I have been reading you thoughts for a while.

Joined this site, but it’s not right for me.

Spend time at www.centerforinquiry.net  More of a think tank.

 

Moved the desert and studied religion for the last eight years.

Now ready to move on.

 

Really like your definition of an atheist.

 

After eight years of studying religion I have yet to read the bible.

I view it like an auto junk yard. There are some good parts there in all that junk.

I thought the subject would be boring, but it turned out to be quite fascinating and enjoyable. 

Data was made possible by the internet and authors who wrote books about different subjects of religion and religion related subject matter such as for example to name a few, burial, olives, horses, cowry shells, pomegranates, adoption, loans and financing, schooling, education, writing systems, names, plagues, etc.

 

Just to name a few subjects of the many that has very much to do with religion and is part of religion. And if you don’t understand the relationships, you will never fully understand religion which is your heritage.

 

I don’t feel that this web site is the place or that I have found the place here to do a posting.

Could you find the time to guide me on these issues?

 

I could send you a posting if you like and you could let me know if you think it would do for this web site.

My main fear is that I will be wasting my time.

Thank you,

Mike

I believe I have been discriminated against based on the fact that I am not a Christian, and more so, an atheist. School boards, State college admissions, on and on. I understand that the agency to call is the Justice Dept. Any thoughts?
