Billy's occasional blog: The Evidential Problem of Evil
http://basketofpuppies-billy.blogspot.com/2009/11/evidential-problem-of-evil.html
Monday, 23 November 2009. The Evidential Problem of Evil. One of the most frustrating things about reading many theistic arguments is their need to take things in isolation and hold it up as evidence that their god has properties “X”,”Y” or “Z”. Apart from the fact they are ignoring all that evidence that contradicts their claim, they make the mistake of assuming such qualities can only come from a deity. Or that a cat should play with mice. At the end of the day, for something to survive, something else...

Billy's occasional blog: Creationist Lies To Deny Evolution
http://basketofpuppies-billy.blogspot.com/2008/08/creationist-lies-to-deny-evolution.html
Wednesday, 27 August 2008. Creationist Lies To Deny Evolution. I have found my way to a creationists blog here. Anyway, the point of this entry is to expose some creationist naughtiness – and to show Chelsea a picture of the transitional whale ancestor. That she can’t open. I’ll let Ken Miller go into the details of. And its relevance to whale evolution. Chelsea’s response was that fossils of. Secondly, the claim that the pelvic girdle is unknown is simply not true. The picture below has the pelvic girdl...

Billy's occasional blog: Joseph Ratzinger is an Enemy of Humanity
http://basketofpuppies-billy.blogspot.com/2010/09/joseph-ratzinger-is-enemy-o-humanity.html
Sunday, 19 September 2010. Joseph Ratzinger is an Enemy of Humanity. The Pope's recent comment about secularism and Nazism. Have really angered me - and many others, including Christians. I think the anger that this has caused is evidence enough that secularists don't identify with Hitler. The catholic church on the other hand:. A list of Hitler's religious quotes can be found here. Let's not forget that he was. Not surprising as Ratzinger. Tim Minchin sums up how. I feel right now. Atheist until such ti...

Sunday, 3 January 2010. The Cobbler (aka Ben Arthur) from Ben Lomond on Friday. I love the Cobbler. I cannot think of that hill without thinking about the late great Jock Nimlin - his climbs there were the stuff of legend! Stories of ridiculously long run-outs and of night spent under the Narnain boulders. A very very special place to me indeed. All the best. 3 January 2010 at 16:37. Holds with home made axes. Nice vid of point 5 here. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? 4 January 2010 at 02:57. I need to find...

Billy's occasional blog: Russell's Teapot
http://basketofpuppies-billy.blogspot.com/2010/12/russells-tea-pot.html
Saturday, 25 December 2010. Bertrand Russell Makes a nice case that a Deity can not be good and uses his "teapot" analogy to demonstrate the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. Of their "holy book" says must be so. The whole thing becomes a convoluted mess, The best that can be hoped for is a consistent theology - just like you can also have consistent fairy tales too. I had only intended to post the video and appear to have gone on a bit of theology bashing :-) ). Why not common theft?

Billy's occasional blog: Tasmanian Devils And The Evolution Of a New Species Of Parasitic Tumour
http://basketofpuppies-billy.blogspot.com/2010/01/tasmanian-devils-and-evolution-of-new.html
Monday, 4 January 2010. Tasmanian Devils And The Evolution Of a New Species Of Parasitic Tumour. Creationists love to misrepresent evolution and have an inordinate fondness for strawmen. These include:. 1 Evolutionary change requires in increase in “genomic information”. 2 Evolution only occurs within “kinds”. 3 Speciation does not occur (incompatible with 2). For phyletic comparisons . 8211; ie, less “information”, greater “complexity”. Shows The creationist concept of “kind” is also confused. Deal with...

Monday, 18 January 2010. Awesome: Dan Osman Soloing Lover's Leap. Blimey, thats impressive! Mind you if he cut his hair, he could get a proper job. 19 January 2010 at 00:04. Unfortunately he died in a controlled free fall incident. 19 January 2010 at 04:14. Ach, a shame :(. 19 January 2010 at 04:59. I remember the first time I saw that vid - the way it pans in and out - and the speed metal soundtrack just gives it a real edge. One of my favourite climbing vids. 19 January 2010 at 08:29.

Billy's occasional blog: Summing Up and Moving On?
http://basketofpuppies-billy.blogspot.com/2010/06/summing-up-and-moving-on.html
Wednesday, 30 June 2010. Summing Up and Moving On? Anything else is just an opinion and not open to investigation. So, I see it as a lack of evidence for a designer, not evidence for or against. At this point they usually have to resort to assuming that on this particular issue, my heart is hardened - after all, it can't possibly be the case that they have no case for their belief in absolute moral values - can it? I will continue to be fascinated with nature and evolution unhindered with the burden of d...
