Ehhhh Davis. Energy is just a concept until a lightning bolt strikes you.

“If the red shifts are a Doppler shift . . . the observations as they stand lead to the anomaly of a closed universe, curiously small and dense, and, it may be added, suspiciously young.

“On the other hand, if red shifts are not Doppler effects, these anomalies disappear and the region observed appears as a small, homogeneous, but ins…[Read more]

Simon: …reason … humans has a lot to do with communicating honest information.

But not dishonest information?

The crocs had no tree of knowledge and didn’t kill the planet.

But homo sapiens didn’t really have a tree of knowledge.

Fake news, reported by enemies of the people!!! Sad.

Or, getting killed is the planet’s purpose and our not killing it is messing with its purpose.

Simon: I feel this is the final version

Hey, do you FEEL …, or do you think ….

The child care folk I studied in a teacher prep course said that when children realise they are separate people in thei…[Read more]

Strega, the jury self-selected from a mass murder.

After an hour-long trial, a jury of crows unanimously order Atheist Zone participants degrees be revoked and their return to freshman year for more schooling.

Gee, if only you guys and MANY thousands more who share your ideas would run for and get elected to legislatures.

Davis: It’s partly the reason why I am really hesistant to take some moral systems seriously.

I too will always act unpredictably. Don’t hold your breath until I explain.

Reg: The Nazi party lost and are now all dead. If only there was some word, maybe a German one, to describe how that makes me feel.

Freude? Pleasure. (from my compact Eng/Ger dictionary)

Where are you from, Rodrigo? You’re right; not knowing any atheists sucks.

I’m in California’s Northern SF Bay Area. The SF Bay Area is home to many atheists.
