I was browsing around youtube yesterday and came across Ray Comfort’s famous “banana demonstration.” If you’ve somehow never had the pleasure of witnessing this, it can be found here. My initial reaction was along the lines of, “what in the hell is he babbling about now?” But I heard him out. I listened to his presentation objectively and walked away fairly indifferent. I didn’t think much of it at first.

But a few hours later, I went to go grab a snack. I had a box of cheez-its:

How does Darwinian Evolution explain these?

Last week I had the honor of being a guest on the RRS with Brian and Kelly. I wanted to speak aboout my experiences as a patient advocate for embryonic stem cell research in Missouri. Certian politicians in MO actaully want to ban and criminalize people who participate in the research. Let me know what you think. I am not sure when they are going to air it, but as soon as I know I will post it.

If we were intelligently designed, why do we have toes?

Think about it for a bit.

The prostate.

Yup. Just these two words should be enough to make most older guys go "Uh huh, there is no way anyone would design something that stupid".

For the ladies and the younger guys who are reading this and going "a proswhat?", the prostate is a small gland at the base of the male bladder that surrounds the top of the urethra and which is responsible for producing parts of seminal fluid. I would show you a diagram but, frankly, that would be a bit gross.

Anyway, you may be wondering what this has to do with ID being a stupid idea so I'll tell you. The prostate drains poorly, is prone to infection, is really, really difficult to treat when it becomes infected or inflamed and, worst of all, grows as you get older. This growth is the clincher because, you see, as it grows it tightens on the urethra and pushes up into the bladder causing urine retention and ultimately renal failure followed by death. When you're twenty it's maybe the size of a walnut. When you're 70 or so it's getting towards the size of a lemon and causing all sorts of bother for about three quarters of the male population.

This blog focuses on philisophical questions, religion and reasoning. I'll moderate it with rules similar to those in the Kill 'em with Kindness forum, because I want this to be a constructive process.

It has been over a week now since I offered my rebuttal to the Way of the Master and their evidences of god's existence in the Nightline debate. I took the time out of my very busy schedule to respond, clip by clip, to their arguments. I welcomed anyone that disagreed to explain why, but, surprisingly, nobody offered a counter argument.

So, I have created what I like to call the Blasphemanus Challenge. I am challenging any theist on this site to tear apart my arguments and prove me wrong. This should not be hard to do. I am a very open-minded person. I have no problems whatsoever admitting when I am wrong. In fact, I was corrected twice in my initial blog and both times admitted the error of my ways. Convince me that I am full of shit and don't know what I'm talking about. Just as I analyzed and dissected their arguments, I welcome anyone out there to analyze and dissect my arguments. Do so and you will earn my unwavering respect, the greatest gift you could ever receive.
