Skeptical Bible Study: Who Wrote the Gospels?

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

The first 4 books of the New Testament are the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The word "gospel" means "good news" and the "good news" of all 4 gospels is the testament they give to the life of Jesus. They are considered the most authoritative sources for his teachings and life, and are the most important books in Christian scripture. But what is the source of their authority?

Are Non-Human Animals Capable of Representational Art?

I have always thought of representational art as a strictly human enterprise. The only example of the use of art in the non-human animal kingdom I can think of off the top of my head is that of male Bower Birds.

Global Warming: Do the Math

I have mainly limited my blogging to modern evolutionary theory and the clash between science and religion. The main reason is that these are the areas that I felt knowledgeable enough to make a contribution to the debate that is engendered around them. However, I have been reading about another interest of mine, global warming.

The Scientific Vacuity of Intelligent Design Creationism

The most potent technique ever invented for discovering the nature of the natural world has been the scientific method. It consist of (1) making observations; (2) proposing a theory to account for the observations; (3) making a testable prediction based on that theory; and (4) testing the prediction.

Communism and Atheism

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

I like to refer to myself as a vocal atheist. That means I have written several blogs defending atheism. Lord knows [intentional irony] with all the religious fundamentalists out there, atheism could use a few defenders. Sooner or later, though anyone with an interest in atheism will be exposed to the canard of Communism.

The Proper Term is "Vocal Atheist"

… Or at least that is MY term for it. Other people, especially outraged Christians like to call it “Militant Atheist”. Recently here at ProgU a blogger came up with another term … “Evangelical Atheist”.

Mr. Romney ... You are no John Kennedy

Tagged:  •    •    •  

Mitt Romney, Republican Governor of Massachusetts, is running for president. He also happens to be a Mormon. And his religion is becoming an issue in the campaign. In 1960 another Massachusetts politician running for president was having his religion becoming an issue in the campaign. He was a Catholic, and no Catholic had ever been elected president.
