Stormbringer's Thunder

Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1859, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory. — Stephen Jay Gould, 1977 Evolution is racist. Why is this concept not being proclaimed more clearly? Evolution, as is popularly defined, is a gradual continuance and weeding out of physical traits. Therefore all the physical traits that we know as defining race……skin color, shape of the eyes, hair, etc., are all supposed to be due to some evolutionary benefit for survival. So we are told, no trait survives the proces of natural selection unless it benefits survival in some way. Therefore all the races of human got that way due to some evolutionary reason. The shape of the eyes, skin and hair color, all presumably got that way for a reason benefitting survival. This, by definition, is racial. Notice what I’m NOT saying. This does not mean that every person who holds to evolution is a biased racist. I’m not sa...

Ladies and gentlemen... The creation sensation, Piltdown Superman ! (and the crowd goes wild) Click images for larger views. This bad boy will take over your screen when you click it! Here is the song, lyrics rewritten by the crew at Stormbringer Productions. Click for a much larger image. But if that won't work, the lyrics are typed below: Piltdown Music Part One Pop, pop, pop Piltdown Pop, pop, pop Piltdown Dig it! Your hero's found Southern Ape, Northern Ape Big Bang pick axe Got your wishful thinking Grand foundation full of cracks Fish flops on the sand Wishes he had a hand Fossil, docile, Surrey hostel Dance the PDSM Dance the PDSM (Why'd you write that?)

But the new rebel is a skeptic, and will not entirely trust anything. He has no loyalty; therefore he can never be really a revolutionist. And the fact that he doubts everything really gets in his way when he wants to denounce anything. For all denunciation implies a moral doctrine of some kind; and the modern revolutionist doubts not only the institution he denounces, but the doctrine by which he denounces it. Thus he writes one book complaining that imperial oppression insults the purity of women, and then he writes another book in which he insults it himself. He curses the Sultan because Christian girls lose their virginity, and then curses Mrs. Grundy because they keep it. As a politician, he will cry out that war is a waste of life, and then, as a philosopher, that all life is waste of time. A Russian pessimist will denounce a policeman for killing a peasant, and then prove by the highest philosophical principles that the peasant ought to have killed himself. A man denounces marri...

This article will be less cerebral and more "from the heart" as well as the mind.    While writing and researching my "Logic Lessons" series, I have learned quite a few things. Especially when I am on the receiving end of people who claim to be "thinkers", "rational", "logical" and so forth. Very few have given me anything rational. Instead, they hit me with interesting combinations of logical fallacies that are based entirely on emotion. Actually, their reactions are based in hate. They do not even know me, but they hate what I am saying and the Savior that I stand for (John 15.18-21). When I promote an article about creation science, I receive personal attacks from strangers on Twitter. Does that sound like a rational response to you? Me, neither. But so what? It's part of the job for which I enlisted. But I'll never understand what they hope to gain by demonizing the person instead of dealing with the concept ; that is the ...

Buon girono. Modern Bible critics are copy-n-paste masters. Unfortunately, they are unskilled at rational thought . (I was hit again with that ridiculous claim that Hitler was a Christian, which is easily disproved with a search. Here is just one of the links I found against that rubbish .) They will pool their ignorance at God-hating sites and forums, find someone that supports their biases and then spread the disinformation. Frankly, I'm surprised that people still go after the "Jesus was a myth, copied from older myths" stuff. This was popularized in the Zeitgeist  film, notorious for its outright falsehoods and lack of references. I don't see how anyone who claims to be "rational", "skeptical" and "a thinker" falls for that, except that they are blinded by their own hatred of God and Christians. That's right, I said it! If you have a better explanation, I'd be curious about it. But one thing is for sure, this recycled myth b...

I have a pair of fallacies for you, where the person is attacked rather than discussing the ideas presented on their own merits. This pair works well together, and sometimes the distinctions are blurry (even some of my sources disagree, since the ad hominem can merge with the "red herring" distraction). Since I have been subjected to this kind of "reasoning" lately, I can draw from my own experiences. But I have to be careful, because I have been known to mix up the Genetic Fallacy and its close cousin, the Fallacy of Composition .  First, the Poisoning the Well fallacy. To "poison the well", someone wants to discredit a person and ignore whatever he or she is about to present; a pre-emptive strike, if you will. You look bad before you even begin to speak. When discussing Creationism and showing the flaws in evolution, people have said that "Your Creationist sources are all disproved". Also, my news sources in other articl...

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Buon giorno.  Generally speaking, in my experience, readings and so forth... Whenever I hear about atheists in the news, they're up to mischief. Crosses on roads in Utah to honor fallen troopers are protested Fighting the "National Day of Prayer" Ray Comfort's special edition of their sacred text, Origin of the Species , enrages them Street sign "Seven in Heaven Way" honoring fallen firefighters from September 11 is protested On that note, atheists are trying to block the September 11 World Trade Center cross from being used in the memorial Attempting to block the restoration of a huge cross in Illinois A California war memorial cross is forced away Protesting a Sunday morning meeting at Answers in Genesis Signs directly attac...
