Date: January 27, 2021[T]he COVID-19 pandemic…revealed just how unprepared and unwilling countries and the international system are to handle global emergencies properly…that could threaten civilization in the near future… [E]xistential threats…have intensified in recent years because of a threat multiplier: the continuing corruption of the information ecosphere on which democracy and public decision-making depend…False and misleading information disseminated over the internet…created social chaos in many countries and led to unnecessary death…

1) Existence: Pointless or Endless?

Leave a comment

From Rev. Michael Schuler, Senior Minister, First Unitarian Society of Madison, Wisconsin

From a religious naturalist point of view, it seems obvious to me that we “go” to the same place we came from before we were conceived—the same “place” that trillions of other animals and plants have gone throughout Earth’s history when they died.  Some speak about it as “coming from God and returning to God”. Others talk about it as “coming from mystery and returning to mystery”. Still others as “coming from nothing and returning to nothing”. All these I sense as legitimate and emotionally satisfying ways of thinking and talking about what happens at death.

Any supposed “faith” which doesn’t include trusting that whatever happens on the other side of death is just fine is, in my view, really no faith at all. Fear of a terrifying, hellish after-death scenario, OR hope of a blissful, heavenly after-death scenario are just that: fear or hope; not faith, not trust.

This atheist revelator explicitly presents himself as a religious leader whose unresearched, uneducated, inexperienced opinion the reader should accept. Watch the multitude of Unsolved Mysteries if you think trusting your life to a total stranger is sure to end well.

Contrary to the words he uses, this is not faith or trust, both of which are based on acquired knowledge. This minister is using classic Orwellian newspeak.

2) Evolution: Science or Religion?

Leave a comment

Evolution has been aggressively championed as scientific truth in opposition to religious dogma since its inception in the 19th century. Its claim that there is no Creator of life has made significant inroads against religious belief in developed nations.

A new poll conducted by Ipsos for Reuters News in twenty-four countries found that 41% of respondents identified themselves as “evolutionists” and 28% as “creationists,” with 31% indicating that they “simply don’t know what to believe,”according to a press release issued by Ipsos on April 25, 2011.

What has Evolution discovered that establishes its scientific credentials?

From the National Science Education Standards on Evolution:

Evolution is a well-supported theory drawn from a variety of sources of data…including observations about the fossil record, genetic information, the distribution of plants and animals, and the similarities across species of anatomy and development. Scientists have inferred that descent with modification offers the best scientific explanation for these observations.

In fact, Evolution is not a scientific theory. It has remained strictly in the realm of imagination.

Is evolution a fact or a theory?

Scientists most often use the word “fact” to describe an observation. But scientists can also use fact to mean something that has been tested or observed so many times that there is no longer a compelling reason to keep testing or looking for examples. The occurrence of evolution in this sense is a fact…

Within the same breath this teacher states that “Scientists have inferred” and that evolution is a fact because it is “something that has been tested or observed so many times.” This is both a gross contradiction and a lie.

3) Time: Uniformitarianism Or Catastrophism?

Leave a comment

Traditional…geologists held that the catastrophes described in the Bible, such as Noah’s flood, had actually taken place and caused many of the signs of geological change that could be seen. This view was known as catastrophism.

Traditional Christian views held that the world started with its Creation…[But] 6000 years was not enough time for [evolutionary processes to develop into] the incredible diversity of life in the world...

Hutton (1726–1797) was a Scottish farmer…In his observations of the world around him [his farm], he became convinced natural processes, such as mountain building and erosion, occurred slowly over time through geologic forces that have been at work since Earth first formed. He eventually turned his observations and ideas into what became known as the Principle of Uniformitarianism…

These 18th century philosophical contemplations by a Scottish farmer plowing his fields or bringing his cattle home cannot possibly be considered “scientific observations.” This “Principle” does not even rise to the level of a hypothesis. 

To understand how the ideas of a lowly farmer could effect such massive changes in entrenched religious views, we need to place his ideas in the context of his time – the Renaissance.

4) Geology: The Stones Cry Out

Leave a comment

There are two techniques for dating in archaeological sites: relative and absolute dating.

Relative

Typological

there is no place on Earth more intensively investigated archaeologically than the Levant. As a corridor between east and west, north and south, as well as the center of gravity for three major world religions, this region has lured scholars since the 19th century. Excavations…have produced millions of artifacts, none more abundant than pottery…two centuries of discovery later, all that pottery is both an incredible resource and an enormous problem.

5) Cosmology: Fake It ‘Til You Make It

Leave a comment

the so-called Kármán line…sits some 62 miles (100 kilometers) above Earth’s surface, and it’s generally accepted as the place where…outer space begins…

Anything traveling above the Kármán line needs a propulsion system that doesn’t rely on lift generated by Earth’s atmosphere — the air is simply too thin that high up… 

people who fly above an altitude of 60 miles (100 km) typically earn astronaut wings from the Federal Aviation Administration. 

I don’t know about you, but 60 miles up wasn’t at all what I envisioned whenever I heard the news of “outer space”. After all, that’s well within Earth’s atmosphere.

6) The Space Race Is The Arms Race

Leave a comment

The space race was a series of competitive technology demonstrations between the United States and the Soviet Union…

On both sides, a great deal of time and resources went into the development of rockets and…the advancements made within each national space program were inexorably tied to the development of nuclear weapons.

Space is a battleground for dominance among major powers. About a fifth of all satellites belong to the military and are used for spying.

the Union of Concerned Scientists monitors satellite activity and…lists…America’s 154 military satellites, and…others listed as “military / civil” or “military / government,” which means, if you count them all together, there are between 339 and 485 military satellites in total…

Russia is known to have 71 military satellites, and China 63.

7) The Theory of Everything

Leave a comment

[A]ll the forces that we experience every day (and many that we don’t realize we experience every day) can be whittled down to just four fundamental forces:

  1. Electromagnetism.
  2. The strong force.
  3. The weak force.
  4. Gravity.

These are called the four fundamental forces of nature, and they govern everything that happens in the universe…

A theory of everything (TOE) is a hypothetical framework explaining all known physical phenomena in the universe. Researchers have searched for such a model ever since the development of quantum mechanics and Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity in the early 20th century.

[O]ne of the simplest but most powerful equations ever to be written down, E = mc2...

What this equation means is thoroughly world-changing. As Einstein himself put it:

“mass and energy are both but different manifestations of the same thing — a somewhat unfamiliar conception for the average mind…”

Energy can be used to make mass out of nothing… except pure energy. 

Anyone who learned the most basic algebra can understand the following: Energy/constant of speed of light2 = mass

8) The Singularity

About 13.8 billion years ago, the universe sprang into existence in an event known as the big bang.The early universe was…extraordinarily dense. In fact, scientists think that at one point the entire observable universe would have been about the size of a soccer ball.

As the universe expanded, it became vastly larger…

board-exam-memes-8[Dating] methods use the universe’s expansion rate to determine the age. Hubble and the European Space Agency’s Gaia space observatory calculate this rate by…studying the local universe… 

The European Space Agency’s Planck mission uses a different method, mapping the newborn universe…with microwaves…However, those predictions don’t exactly match Hubble’s and Gaia’s measurements of our nearby contemporary universe…

Almost everyone has heard the story of the Big Bang. But if you ask anyone, from a layperson to a cosmologist, to finish the following sentence, “In the beginning, there was…” you’ll get a slew of different answers. One of the most common ones is “a singularity,” which refers to an instant where all the matter and energy in the Universe was concentrated into a single point…

But this picture isn’t just wrong, it’s nearly 40 years out of date! We are absolutely certain there was no singularity associated with the hot Big Bang…Here’s what we know and how we know it.
