Having just finished reading Moondust, I’ve been thinking about the moon quite a bit. It was such a feat of human ingenuity, such a risk, such a financial cost to get there ($100bn in today’s dollars), and nothing has come close to it since. Why did we do it? Why is it still so mesmerizing [...]

Sometimes I wonder if there are not more important things for me to be concerning myself with than Darwinism vs ID vs Creationism vs whatever. Afterall, the core message of the Gospel is much more important than the physical processes of how we got here. The majority of my Christian friends are content to accept [...]

Stop and think about that. There is a time for studying and analyzing what we find in nature, and there is a time for just sitting back in amazement.
If you can [...]
Until watching Channel 4’s recent documentary on global warming I was about 75% sure that the link between global warming and human CO2 emissions was nonsense, or at least seriously exaggerated. I’m now 99.99% it’s nonsense… and pissed off at the realization that we are letting people in Africa die rather than let them develop [...]
Hot Fuzz is as good as I hoped and almost as good as Shaun of the Dead. It also provides a unintented metaphor for the Intelligent Design vs. Darwinism debate. It’s set in a quiet English village where the inhabitants live in a state of denial about the frequent deaths of fellow inhabitants, always attributing [...]
If I make many more posts about Mr Dawkins you might think I’m obsessed, but this is too funny not to mention. It’s a spoof radio interview with a scientist who doesn’t believe in the existence of Richard Dawkins, and mimics his rhetoric, arrogance and accent perfectly. It’s also on YouTube here.
