Nuke Mars, Start a War?

Image
by Cowboy Bob Sorensen This article will confuse the Ministry of Truth, Fake News Division because it is a mixture of parody and real news. Old Joe Biden still has the desire to be president, but he is not showing intellectual acumen. If his errors happened to a Republican, the media would be all over it like chickens on June bugs. Using a public domain photo of Joe Biden, I ran it through PhotoFunia , then added some text of my own For example, he said that as Vice President, he met with survivors of the Parkland school shooting, which happened after he left office . Officials said he mixed up this one with another shooting.  He doesn't know when the Kennedy and King assassinations happened. Seriously, Democrats, are you so desperate to simply win an election that you want him in the most powerful position in the world? The other real-but-looks-like-parody news is that Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, wants to launch nuclear missiles to Mars . He thinks it will help make ...

A Look at the 4K YouTube to MP3 Downloader

Image
by Cowboy Bob Sorensen Tweaked 7-19-2021  There is a scene in Young Frankenstein where Frederick, descendant of Victor Von Frankenstein finds a book titled How I Did It. I would like to make a video of How I Do It for some behind-the-scenes material for my work at The Question Evolution Project and the main site, Piltdown Superman , as well as some of my other sites. One aspect of this is the posting of videos. I am reluctant to do like some other Pages and throw links at people without previewing the material. Since I have a day job doing data entry work, I do not have all that much time for watching videos — and my eyes get mighty tired. Fortunately, I can listen to all sorts of audio material while working. But what's this cowboy supposed to do with all those videos? Who wants to stare at a screen for a long interview, debate, or lecture? There are some online sites that convert them from video to MP3, but some of them no longer function and others will not convert any...

He is not Saying Trump Likes Nazis, but — Yes He Is Saying It

Image
by Cowboy Bob Sorensen Revised 8-10-2019 Leftists are running around saying that Donald Trump is a Nazi, calling him Hitler or fascist, saying he wants people dead, and other foul things. Hypocrites! Nazis are socialists, which is what many on the left are embracing. Try to get them to define fascist and you are unlikely to get an intelligent reply. They are like other people I could name, screaming something, no matter how stupid, just to provoke negative emotions in others. Concentration camp image credit: Pixabay / Jacek Abramowicz I keep saying that one reason I encourage spotting basic logical fallacies and engaging in critical thinking is not just for those of us who promote biblical creation science and apologetics. Rational thinking is applicable in many areas of life. Try it with politics. I've seen bad arguments on television between leftists and Conservatives and wanted to tell them both to shut up because they were doing it all wrong. We can understand peopl...

Celebrating Apollo 11 Splashdown 50th Anniversary

Image
As a child, I was excited watching the Apollo 11 events. Of course, the details are fuzzy fifty years later, but I was excited to celebrate the anniversary. There are many details that the public did not know and I learned some of these just in the past few days. This helped me appreciate the events more fully, especially the skill of the crew and all the people involved that made it all happen. NASA  image modified through  FotoSketcher Can you believe some tinhorns (often flat-earthers) think that the whole thing was a fraud? Yeah, sure, as if all those thousands of people over all those years could keep the entire Apollo program a secret!  Idiots.  Many of these people (including astronauts) were Christians and creationists , by the way. As a child playing with my space toys during the flight, landing, and so on, I was impatient. There were many details involved that needed to be performed with minute precision; it wasn't like they could do the equivalent...

Productivity with Free Software

Image
by Cowboy Bob Sorensen Although money makes the world go around (just check the tracking and advertising reports about major companies, for example) there are still some good-hearted and generous people around. Much of what gives voices to many is free or low-cost. Sometimes I return the favor by mentioning products or giving image credits, but I don't get one red grotzit for doing so. Left image: cropped from Freeimages / Leena Naidoo The image on the right is the left image modifed with FotoSketcher Sure, some companies and individuals will sell stuff at different levels such as the free, pay more for some features, pay a lot more for all the features. I use a wagon train-load of free materials (most notably Open Source and Freeware), but I admit that I've been burned by a few bad risks. To reduce these, I check reviews and if I download something, I can scan it with my free versions of Malwarebytes and the Avast! antivirus scanner — both of which were highly rec...

Hysteria Over Climate Change is Hysterical

Image
by Cowboy Bob Sorensen It is a fact that there are noticeable similarities in the bad reasoning and worse science used by flat earthers, anti-vaxxers , chemtrail conspiracies , and several other concepts that are insulting to thinking people. You can also find parallels between evolutionary thinking and global climate change alarmism . Should we laugh or cry about the climate change hysteria? Derived from an image at ESA / NASA / SOHO Fake science "experts" have predicted the end of the world many times (especially in some sort of climate change), but though Algore and his followers then and now have been shown to be galactically wrong.  They're on the side of the angels, you know, and have to save us from ourselves. With what, denial of science, suppression of inconvenient facts, and calling our Creator a liar? Not bloody likely. Here is a short video that I'd take mighty kindly if you'd give a listen. (Well, I have to use the video format because audi...

Liberty and Darwinism are Opposites

Image
Since proponents of fish-to-firefighter evolution rely on a paradigm of naturalism, they have a heap of trouble explaining the experiences of life that are intangible. I heard a debate between a Christian and an atheist, and the atheist admitted that everything he knows could be wrong in his frame of empiricism. The Christian showed him that he could not account for such things as logic and his worldview is self-refuting. Even though the atheist could be wrong, his "reasoning" maintained that the Christian is also wrong. Such a worldview is unlivable, as things we experience every day, truths of life, cannot be tested and determined in a lab by material means. By what means to materialists determine the soul or free will? What or where is consciousness ? They are not a part of the brain. There are some helpful links in " The Quantum Soul? " Declaration of Independence , John Trumbull, 1817-1819 Today, many Americans are celebrating Independence Day. Hopefully...
