1. Rival to evolution may enter schools

Comment #53025 by amazeen on June 29, 2007 at 3:22 am

People in Scotland will have to stand up against this. Iīm moving there in a couple of months, itīs a good thing I donīt have children.

2. What I Think About Evolution

Comment #46551 by amazeen on May 31, 2007 at 3:59 pm

Never underestimate the power of denial.

3. Baby's 'miracle' recovery in British hospital to give Malta its first saint

Comment #44885 by amazeen on May 25, 2007 at 12:58 pm

First of all, I hate it when people say there is no scientific explanation for this or that. Of course there is, we just havenīt figured it out yet (or credulous idiots deny the explanation and through the power of repetition some wrong "explanation" becomes the accepted one).

Secondly, the doctor said that there was 90% + chance of the boy not surviving. Wait a minute, that means that there was a chance, lets say 5%, that the boy would survive. That means 1 out of every 20 babies that goes into acute liver failure does survive without a transplant. How is that a miracle??

The chance of rolling two sixes when two dice are rolled is 1 in 36, does that mean that every time someone gets a double six, we ought to give praise to some "saint"?

This story is absolute bollocks.

4. The Creation Museum: Prepare to believe

Comment #41081 by amazeen on May 15, 2007 at 1:25 pm

I clicked "about us", it must be the funniest thing Iīve read in a long time.

5. Kennedy lectures on challenges facing K-12 science education

Comment #35303 by amazeen on April 26, 2007 at 8:03 pm

More mathematics is what is needed.

6. Bill Maher - APATHEIST

Comment #35301 by amazeen on April 26, 2007 at 8:01 pm

His thoughts on religion in itself were rather shallow, and he probably should have given his objections to religion more thought before going on television with them. However his views on how religion poisons politics were far more intelligent. He is a really good political analyst and we are fortunate to have him as an ally, if he concentrates on that analysis.

7. Was Muhammad Epileptic?

Comment #35177 by amazeen on April 26, 2007 at 1:38 pm

Fundamentalist muslims will condemn Hitchins and sentence him to death, itīs just a matter of time.

8. Vote for the Time 100 - Are They Worthy?

Comment #34643 by amazeen on April 24, 2007 at 6:45 pm

ahh.. not a flattering picture

9. Brian Lehrer interviews Richard Dawkins

Comment #34302 by amazeen on April 23, 2007 at 6:47 pm

As usual Professor Dawkins presents himself very well, and answers questions and comments rationally and well.

10. Dinesh D'Souza says I don't exist: an atheist at Virginia Tech

Comment #33393 by amazeen on April 20, 2007 at 2:25 am

My heart goes out to Prof. Mapantsula and everybody else at Virginia Tech.

Mr. D'Souza: You say atheists canīt believe in such things as good and evil. I believe in evil, you sir are proof of itīs existence.

11. Is God poison?

Comment #30990 by amazeen on April 10, 2007 at 2:17 pm

I would very much like to see prof. Dawkins respond to Helianīs accusations.

12. Prophets of the new atheism

Comment #30552 by amazeen on April 8, 2007 at 3:12 pm

This guy is a fucking wanker, excuse my french but he is.

13. Militant atheists: too clever for their own good

Comment #30242 by amazeen on April 7, 2007 at 10:27 am

Mr. Moore makes a very common mistake which is to confuse conviction to dogmatism. Being convinced of ones stand does definately not mean one is not willing to changes ones mind, if presented with good evidence to do so.

on the pseudonyms issue: My surname is Amazeen, but I fully respect peoples choice to remain anonymous. However it can be very frustrating to see ad hominem attacks from people who write under a pseudonym. It is because of those people we have the saying:
"Fighting on the internet is like participating in the special olympics, you may win but you are still retarded" :)

14. The Most Hated Family in America

Comment #29617 by amazeen on April 3, 2007 at 3:47 pm

Unfortunately this is not a joke, not a hoax and not an april fools spoof. These people are for real and I have heard of them several times, even though I donīt live in the US. These are the people that disrupt funerals of US soldiers, gays and others they donīt like. But as someone but it here above, this is a good lesson in christianity for those liberal "believers", if you think that silly book is correct than at least read it and know what it says.

15. Richard Dawkins: Author of the Year!

Comment #28294 by amazeen on March 28, 2007 at 4:22 pm

Congratulations professor Dawkins, much deserved!

16. Snake Oil and Holy Water

Comment #28189 by amazeen on March 28, 2007 at 9:24 am

The "mind of god" quote by Hawking is actually a reference to Einstein who said something like

"I want to know all Gods thoughts; all the rest are just details."

17. How Many Scientists?

Comment #28187 by amazeen on March 28, 2007 at 9:19 am

Before anyone takes the film scooternyc posted seriously I recommend reading this:

Read the comments, and read comment 109!!

18. Stephen Hawking Says Universe Created from Nothing

Comment #28185 by amazeen on March 28, 2007 at 9:13 am

Some of the remarks here are similar to peoples objection of the vacum in earlier times. Some concepts are to strange to accept intuitively but are nevertheless confirmed with great accuracy by experiment.

I think it is extremely hard to make a list of the 10 smartest people in history, but Spinoza: What about Archimedes, Gauss, Poincare, von Neumann or the person I think is a contender for the top spot Alexandre Grothendieck.

19. The Salem Hypothesis

Comment #27180 by amazeen on March 23, 2007 at 11:51 am

Some here seem to have been offended by my remark here above.
I have the utmost respect for engineering and engineers, and alot of my friends have degrees in engineering.
But I do think there is a difference between science and engineering. Engineering is the application of science.
A physicist aplies mathematics, but is not necessarily a mathematician. Similarly an engineer is someone who applies science, but is not necessarily a scientist.
That was all I meant.

20. The Salem Hypothesis

Comment #27004 by amazeen on March 22, 2007 at 8:04 pm

There seems to be some confusion here, engineering is not science.

21. A Brief History of Disbelief

Comment #26588 by amazeen on March 20, 2007 at 4:31 pm

Great quality. Very British.

22. Chimpanzees 'hunt using spears'

Comment #26220 by amazeen on March 17, 2007 at 7:10 pm

Oh my god they are catching up to us! Give them another few years...

23. US Congressman Holds No God-Belief

Comment #25369 by amazeen on March 12, 2007 at 5:35 pm

Bravo mr. Stark! In America it takes courage to admit this, and especially for elected officials.

24. Out There

Comment #25257 by amazeen on March 11, 2007 at 10:39 am

""Dark," cosmologists call it, in what could go down in history as the ultimate semantic surrender."

Brilliant line.

25. Public Acceptance of Evolution

Comment #24930 by amazeen on March 9, 2007 at 10:46 am

Ahh.. itīs good to live in Iceland ;)
All of you scientists who are troubled by the climate (political and religious) should come to the university of Iceland.

26. How my eyes were opened to the barbarity of Islam

Comment #24758 by amazeen on March 8, 2007 at 10:58 am

To much moral relativism will be the death of civilization. If atheists do not fight for a more secular and rational society, religious fundamentalists will have their way, and turn the US and European countries into cesspools of dogmatic insanity.

27. Why there are almost no genuine atheists

Comment #24438 by amazeen on March 6, 2007 at 5:23 pm

It is very easy to come to the same conclusion professor Campos comes to if you equate atheism with having no morals. But as anyone who has bothered to read books by professor Dawkins (and most other atheist writers) knows, this is absurd. There is no need to envoke a supreme being to justify being a moral person.

28. Merkel wants EU to be vocal about Christian roots

Comment #23741 by amazeen on March 2, 2007 at 11:05 am

I am hoping that Europe can still be saved, so there will be a safe haven in the future from the fundamentalists somwhere on earth.

I also recommend Jared Diamond, both Guns, Germs and Steel and also Collapse.

29. Faith

Comment #23186 by amazeen on February 26, 2007 at 4:47 pm

What is a militant atheist? Correct me if Iīm wrong, in this debate the militants com from the other side. They are the ones bombing abortion clinics, they are the ones bombing trains, they are the ones flying planes into buildings, they are the ones setting embassies on fire because of cartoons, they are the ones attacking other countries when they rise to power. I do not know of any such incidents involving atheists acting in the name of atheism.
