If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

Somewhat amusing to see Caine into full PC Police mode: http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2014/01/05/i-thought-the-duty-of-the-police-was-to-support-the-law/#comments If I were a bad person I may have wrote "Pokeacuntus is on the warpath again" but because I'm not, I won't. :drool: I skimmed t...

The idea of calling someone "rude", i.e., "brusque" on Twitter is ridiculous. Also, is Bora Zivkovic Serbian? I tried to look it up but couldn't find his origins. If his original language is Serbian, or some other member of the Slavic language groups then the language itself could sound "rude" to w...

With no evidence at all, Michael Shermer was accused of rape and pilloried by that community and anyone who said anything about 'hearsay' and 'evidence' was attacked and/or driven out.

That's fucking hilarious. I can just imagine the triumphantly worded blog posts PZ Myers would be writing as his money was being stolen.

No, the weak anthropic principle is not a solution or resolution to anything. It can sometimes predict something, and that can be useful, but it can't explain it. The multiverse, if it is indeed beyond the reach of experiment, is equivalent to the weak anthropic principle, but "the constants have t...

I wish all this fine tuning stuff would just stop, I'm getting this horrible feeling that the priests are right after all. I wouldn't worry about it. Physicists want to know why the physical constants are what they are, because they are physicists. This is a "problem" for them in the sense of being...
