Hoping that we could discuss use of one of them (this one) on an upcoming post on my site. It's about the lack of compassion often displayed by religious people when it comes to people who are sick or hurt. Especially the idea that people deserve or have brought about the wrath of god and so their illness or injury is evidence for that. Often present in some quantity with religious folk and a great excuse not to have to care about people or to believe that praying for someone is enough. Quite a touchy topic in some ways, so a little humor would be very welcome. Hope to hear from you, and good work! Very much enjoy reading the comix.

No, not really. Not if the light source is extinguished, or covered up. A spherical object that's not in the path of light rays is as dark as a flat object not in the path of light rays. Everything else is correct, but that piece of logic is pretty flawed. Johnnie said: “Also, the sun was darkened for three hours, all over the Earth (wouldn’t that require a flat Earth to work?)”

Or, exactly as non-effective, depending on how you look at it.

Both the Romans and the Hebrews of the day were quite dedicated record keepers. For one example, from the many miracles and other claims made for Jesus: The corpses that came back from the dead when he died should have created enough excitement that dozens of records outside the Bible should exist. Imagine many bodies of 'saints' arising from their graves and going into the city and appearing to many. Were they healthy and ready to resume their lives? What of wives and business partners who had made new arrangements? What of the disbursement of their estates? The marvel, not to mention the acrimony would soon have been the talk of the Empire. Also, the sun was darkened for three hours, all over the Earth (wouldn't that require a flat Earth to work?). Why isn't this confirmed by Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Mayan and other astronomers whose records we have? They could hardly have missed it, unless it was already night there. Oh, I know! This claim is just allegory and no True Christian(tm) takes it literally. Two mentions by Josephus, one likely a Christian forgery and the other not supported independently by any other historian of the day, are not much to support the claim that a miracle worker walked the Earth, let alone on water.

Latest readings of mine place it at about 6 million years, not 4 million. Live and learn. :) P.S. Ahh, shit. Just realised I wrote 4 billion, not 4 million previously. It should have been million, my apologies. @myself

Hilarious. Always good to start the year with a belly laugh. Unfortunately for those on the "scientists who dissent from Darwinism" list: 1) Calling yourself a scientist don't make you one. 2) Being one does not entail any set of beliefs (even evolution by natural selection) to get into the club. 3) Having an attitude to evidence is what gets you in. Now find me someone on that list who is not religious. There are none. Take any of them and then tell me which piece of evidence would be required to convince them that God does not exist? There is none. Ipso facto they can call themselves what they like. And so can I. @ Sledge. Much obliged for the link. Hilarious. Always good to start the year with a belly laugh.
