Oh man while I have a basic understanding of how electricity works, how to get from that to microcontroller is where it becomes âmagicâ. Or even computer programming (which I found out due to an internship it wasnât something I will ever do for work ever ever again) the step from the simple sorting etc you do in classes to device driver code while I understand there is a progression but may as well be voodoo to me even though I know that it isnât just people smarter, more into that tiny complicated bit of technology than I care to know about and I donât know is an acceptable answer for me but this person is a whole new level of not understanding and a sad reminder that for all the amazing wonder of science we are sadly not that far removed from our past of things that go bump in the night woo believing past yet.

I have a fundamentalist friend who once told me that it is not surprising that aliens look kinda like us. Since we were created in Godâs likeness, it would make sense for other intelligent alien species to also have been created in his likeness. See, it all makes sense.

Well, she did have a good point with her Darwin quote.
I have the book right here. It is, indeed, true that he said:
If the single cell is more complex than I think it is, then all of my theories⌠Iâm-a have to start all over again.
â C. Darwin
If there was any other stuff after this point, I wouldnât know, sorry.

Yesterday my wife and I saw âInterstellarâ. While I was somewhat disappointed by the movie in general, the vibe of slipping into a mild dark age because of some conceived blight, and the schools promoting ignorance in the same manner as the tea partiers and climate deniers really brought me down. But yes, itâs essentially the same, and I see it everywhere around me. Itâs very disheartening.

This would all be fun and games if this woman werenât also making herself a nuisance to the Orland Park Library:
Sheâs out for publicity, apparently.

Your fundamentalist friend should talk to my fundamentalist friend, who doesnât believe there are aliens. According to her life couldnât exist anywhere else in the universe because the Bible doesnât say anything about God putting living things on any other planet.
I can point out that just because we havenât found life elsewhere yet doesnât mean it doesnât exist, but itâs pointless. Fundamentalism is built on an unwillingness to accept uncertainty.

Iâm afraid that all I can muster is a sigh here. Iâm an atheist personally but with a number of Christian friends who would find the video as mind-bogglingly strange and despair-inducing as I do. It really does appear to be willful ignorance.

Youâve got the catholic church on your side there - though if sheâs the US protestant kind of fundamentalist, youâd probably be better off not mentioning that.

The surest way to ignorance is to know everything.

Hard to argue with that.
I didnât make it very far with this video, either⌠I started feeling ill.
No snark; itâs just too damn depressing. The entropy is strong with this one.

If Iesus was copied from Horus, youâd expect the closest parallels between the earliest narrative sources about Iesus, especially Mark, and the contemporary narrative sources about Horus, with occasional later borrowing/convergence but gradual divergence.
What is the source for these claims, especially regarding Horus, but also for some regarding Iesus? What is the evidence, because that just looks like a Christ-mytherâs version of a Gish Gallop?
Iesusâs birthdate isnât specified in any early Christian text, and celebration on December 25th is only to allow syncretism with sun gods such as Sol Invictus born on December 25th.
Horusâs birthdate is specified where?
Iesusâs supposed divine virgin birth isnât included in Mark, and was probably added to parody Augustusâs claims of divine birth.
Horusâs supposed divine quite non-virgin birth isnât always the same, sometimes being brother and sometimes son of Isis, and was probably amended to support the Pharoahsâ claims of divine ancestry.
Does anyone want to go on?

From her Youtube page:
Watch âStory Time with Megan Foxâ videos here, about subversive elements in childrenâs books and teen literature, as well as investigative reports from around Chicagoland related to schools, libraries, museums and other places of importance to families. Megan Fox is a homeschooling, Tea Partying, conservative mother of two (with another on the way!) out and about in the suburbs who is also a popular columnist for PJ Media.
Of course sheâs a conservative, all conservatives seem to be anti-science assholes. Not that conservatives have a monopoly when it comes to ignorance. Those on the left who are against GMOâs and vaccines are just as stupid. sigh Ignorance will be the doom of our civilization.
