    The tip of the ice berg

    The Theory of Evolution is but the tip of the iceberg. We all know the metaphor of the ice berg. We only see a tiny part emerging from the water, the vast bulk of it is hidden under the water. Creationists deny, ridicule and attack the theory of evolution. But actually, the ToE is but the tip...

    How do we create a willing ear?

    empirical science acceptor

    A few months ago I had an exchange with a fellow forum member (was it Speedwell or Pittabread - can't remember) in which I contested to label myself as an evolutionist. I want to create a contrast with creationists. Creationists have chosen a conclusion and are shoehorning reality into that...

    Supporting Trump -- calculation for 2024?

    I read in different places that Ted Cruz and Hawley are serious contenders for the presidential race of 2024. And some of the biggest supporters for giving Trump his second term. What if this was pure calculation? Just the best way to get Trump out of the way in 2024 -- and be able to bask in...

    According to (1) and (2), all the seas and oceans combined contain 1.36 billion km³ of water. Taking the Mount Everest at 8 kilometers, and the Earth radius at 6371 km.

    Protecting children (and staff) too expensive

    about the Flood and the bees

    Rereading the Flood story, Noah had two bees on board: which was not on board: a queen, a worker bee (sterile female) or a drone (male)? What ever combination you take, you run into problems. And how could one single worker do all the work to maintain a colony and repolinate all the flowers...
