When Purple met Orange

This is a great demonstration of what it’s like when worldviews collide.

I’m not saying that the great tantrik master would be able to kill a being with a purple-meme centre of gravity, but I’m sure they would have flinched a lot more than Mr Edamaruku.

What an interesting spectacle, it’s NEVER happen on UKTV, would it?

How to Kill God

“It’s all there,” says Bill Donohoe, the president of the Catholic League in the United States “[This new movie, The Golden Compass] tells you exactly how to kill God. All you need to do is open up a rift into another dimension, create a giant basalt fortress, amass a massive army and fight a battle with the forces of heaven.”

Duelity. Creationism vs Darwinism

A fantastic dual-screen animation showing the two dominant cosmological theories. An awesome mashup of ideas and language, using modern science and management speak to ellucidate the creationist stance and, of course, using Biblical language to expound the evolutionary view.

Great viewing, and really highlights how daft creationism really is, despite updating it, and how smart the evolutionary idea is no matter how hard you try to dumb it down!

Good work Duelity

“Do not believe in anything…

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
