A Reason to Believe
Posted on February 13, 2012 | No CommentsFree will and reason are both deterministic neurological processes at the microscopic level. You can’t deny free will, then turn around and embrace reason.
A New Argument for God?
Posted on February 6, 2012 | 29 CommentsMaybe intelligence PRECEDED the universe. After all, information was structured into the universe from the beginning – not a billion years later.
If scroll buttons don’t work, use keyboard left & right arrow keys
Posted on January 25, 2012 | No CommentsLiberal apologists for Islam fell all over themselves to support the response of the Islamic propaganda machine against Satanic Verses. It was clear that 99% of them hadn't even read the book.
Testimony: Bloody Sunday Massacre of Copts in Cairo
Posted on January 24, 2012 | No CommentsThe Egyptian army did not act alone in the massacre. Salafi Jihadists, funded by the Muslim Brotherhood, also attacked Copts with knives and guns.

3 False Conundrums of Free Will
Posted on December 17, 2011 | No CommentsThe claim that free will (a.k.a. intent, purpose, self-determinism) contradicts or violates causality is a false dichotomy. It's not a choice of one or the other: causality or free will. There are other possibilities
