Funny video that brings up some good points about the Christian god.

Holy Bible – Epic Fail

I found this video to juxtapose very well a series on Bible literalism I will be posting. It’s one thing to believe the Bible is a thousands-year-old book full of teachings and metaphors…that makes sense. But to believe the Bible is word-for-word true, even where it clearly is incorrect or where it contradicts itself, is nothing short of foolish.

I came about wanting to write a series about this because of an argument I had a few months ago with a Christian Fundamentalist. They told me only their religion’s interpretation of the Bible was correct, and that people who believed the Bible is full of stories and metaphors are “watered-down Christians”. The Bible was written over a thousand years ago, and the Catholic church has existed as well for over a thousand years, but Christian Fundamentalism was founded less than 200 years ago. How then does that give the Fundamentalist church authority to say their way of thinking is correct, while others are not?

Besides, as I’ve said before, the “We’re right, you’re wrong” argument does not comply well with the important Christian notion of judge not lest ye be judged.

Evolution’s Impact On Ecosystems Shown Directly For First Time

Science article: Evolution’s Impact On Ecosystems Shown Directly For First Time.

Biology article from Science Daily, a very interesting science news site. A few times per week, I see a new article that gives more evidence for evolution. It really bothers me that so many people in the US reject the theory of evolution so vehemently. Scientists are among the smartest people in the world, you can’t disagree with that. Why do so many reject most scientists believe to be true?

The theory of evolution does not say there is no God. Many Christians believe in God but accept the scientific theory. Here’s another article for you: Vatican says Evolution does not prove the non-existence of God. Of course I’m more on the side of Dawkins than the Church on this one, but at least they acknowledge evolution.
