WHAT IS IT WITH TRUMP AND GOLF?

There has to be some sort of flaw in the homo sapiens brain when it comes to picking leaders. Every once in a while, people get lucky, but for the most part we have been and still are, ruled by the biggest assholes.

WHAT IS IT WITH TRUMP AND GOLF?

Putin never loses at Judo, Kim. who also plays golf, gets holes in one all the time, and Trump has a mysterious talent for winning golf tournaments which are never covered by the sports press, with mysteriously anonymous opponents, and on his own golf coursess.

Would you trust this man with the country’s…[Read more]

Would they buy a Honda or Peugeot if it was made in Mississippi or Kentucky?

On the matter of gravity stretching space, the example is often given of a heavy ball on an elastic surface like a trampoline. That’s fallacious. It is at best a faulty analogy and here’s what’s wrong with it.

That example envisions a three-dimensional object, the ball, on a two-dimensional surface, which is easy to visualize. However, a…[Read more]

“Super” means either “over” or “above.” “Sub” means either “under” or “below.” However, even over, above, under, and below are ambiguous themselves, having different meanings in different contexts.

Context is everything in language.

To many it seems the term “supernatural” presupposes a spiritual realm actually exists. It is a meaningless word. The prefix “super” is typical ape-brain bias. I will use the term “subnatural”, because all of these religious fantasies are certainly below reality in terms of worth.

Fellow Unbelievers,

So everybody is clear, by asking my questions, I’m not giving any credence to the Kalam Cosmological Argument or any other argument for the existance of a God. I’m simply trying, as a non-professional non-astrophysicist lay person, to take what is claimed about the Universe to it’s logical conclusion and see if it fits into…[Read more]

I don’t use similes as I don’t know what they are like.

I see what you did there…like John Prine singing about Kentucky Similies in A Big Ol’ Goofy World:

I also see that a perfect analogy would be a tautology, so I don’t fault you as I struggle to understand theories of Cos…[Read more]

A bit more fun with Aron Ra;

Reg,

The Kalam cosmological argument debunked.

Reading that story has given rise to many big questions:

Yes, I always store such bottles ‘upside-down’, no matter their origin.

Thanks Reg!

Have a great week!
