Book of the Day "Christianity in the Light of Science"

Image
Christianity in the Light of Science: Critically Examining the World's Largest Religion   This anthology of new critical essays written by experts in their fields, in honor of the late Victor Stenger, examines Christianity using established scientific criteria. Where science specifically touches upon the claims of Christianity the authors seek to show those claims lack the required evidence. The result is that Christianity is not a sufficiently evidenced religion. In his New York Times bestseller, God: The Failed Hypothesis, physicist Victor Stenger argued that claims of religion should be subject to the same standards of scientific rigor as any other truth claim.  Taking this approach, the contributors argue that Christianity fails every known scientific test for truth. Stenger himself wrote a chapter for this volume before he died.In it he presents a brief history of ideas about cosmology, showing that Christianity's pre-modern understanding of the cosmos is incompatibl...

Atheist Bashing Pastor Kills Himself

Image
Hey Pastor Darrin Patrick, I've got one question... "How's that god stuff working out for ya???"  Megachurch Pastor with a not so squeaky clean past, dies from an apparent self inflicted gun shot wound.  Patrick would often ask atheists “ How’s that working for you? ” That is a very condescending way of proselytizing fables. In 2016, Pastor Patrick was fired from a six-location megachurch in St. Louis he co-founded for “inappropriate meetings, conversations, and phone calls with two women” and a pattern of sinful conduct, including lying, abuse of power and lack of self-control. Patrick isn't the only pastor with mental issues. According to the Schaeffer Institute, 70% of pastors constantly fight depression, and 71% report being burned out.   Meanwhile, 72% of pastors say they only study the Bible when they are preparing for sermons, 80% believe ministry has negatively affected their families, and 70% say they don’t have a close friend.  I wish al...

Princeton plans to have a virtual commencement for the Class of 2020 on Sunday, May 31, 2020. An in-person ceremony will be held in May 2021.  The operations research and financial engineer from Montreal had this to say, " My favorite memories of my time at Princeton are memories of time spent with close friends and classmates engaging in stimulating discussions — often late at night — about our beliefs, the cultures and environments in which we were raised, the state of the world, and how we plan on contributing positively to it in our own unique way! ”  Johnson says he plans to spend this summer interning as a hybrid quantitative researcher and software developer at the D. E. Shaw Group before he starts to begin Ph.D. studies ...

Strain Of The Day - Northern Lights

Image
Indica Origins: NL5 x NL2 Flowering: 45-50 days Harvest: mid October The Northern Lights (NL) is one of the most potent and famous indica strains . Even though there are a lot of copies circulating around with variations on the name, there are only 3 pure types from the original development of Northern Lights, which Sensi was lucky to acquire. Historically, the NL 1, a longer, more stretchy type with a fresh scent and good bud formulation, was the basis of the NL cross that was sold as Sensi’s Northern Lights. Currently, the NL 5 has taken over the most important role in the cross. Because NL 5 adds potency and reduces flowering time, but is not dominant in taste and smell, it also plays a starring role in the overall breeding plan at the Cannabis Castle. It has functioned as a test case for many crosses. The f1 generation is very predictable, giving uniform results and passing uniformly onto its hybrids it parents. The NL 2 contributes to the overall vigor of the ...
