Is it Science or Eschatology?

What we know about our world, our physical world, and what we currently believe about the universe, comes from the decades, even centuries, of scientific inquiry. Even those things we’ve learned about ourselves, humans, whether it’s physical or psychological, come from these same people, over time, and we refer to it as scientific investigation, Most reading here understand the scientific method so I won’t go into the specifics of that here, but it’s becoming more and more interesting to me that those that may make some claim of scientific credulity when what they may be proposing is not reality based science, but eschatological.

Heroes and Villains: Can We Tell Them Apart?

I think that most people would agree that there are certain things within society that we do not accept. Three most common are murder, rape and theft. In each there is an action of power or greed over another. Society, in general, disapproves of these and have punishments for those that would defy a societal norm. I say most people, because I cannot claim that all people decry any of these offenses against others. If that were true, then none of these would occur. They do, and we have, as taxpayers where we live, people paid to find and detain, hopefully incarcerate, those that violate that norm.

Avoiding the Entanglement of Disagreement

Something that’s always bothered me are those that will not have any disagreement with any proposition or argument they may make. That dissent may be logical, rational, and reasonable, as well as evidence based, but the other person, no matter, refuses to admit that there may be people out there that have a different view on whatever the subject may be. We see it more and more I believe in those sardonically referred to as the regressive left. These are people that know, without a doubt, that what they have to say is good and right and no one, no discussion or debate, is necessary.

It’s Not Funny, It’s Animal Cruelty

There are days when I come to believe that society is going to hell in a hand basket. Some of the things I see on social media makes me wonder what people are actually thinking when they post. In this instance, I’m referring to a short video that seems to have gone viral of a man on the street giving a cat a kick down the sidewalk. No, I’m not going to link it because it’s awful. He leans down to stroke the cat, then, suddenly boots the cat several feet down the walkway. He thinks it’s funny.

Gretchen, over at SkepticReview wants me to create an account over at something called “letter.wiki”. It’s a place, to allow  people want to have a debate or discussion, can talk to each other, in a blog post format ( actually, a “letter” to the person you’re responding to on a particular topic. It’s a great idea, and Ive been thinking about creating an account there. Then, I thought differently. My thought is how this would, in any way, drive traffic to this blog. It may, but I need more information.
