Moving Tough Questions Blog away from Blogger

This blog was originally designed to be a mirror for my YouTube channel. However, blogs are easier and faster to update than YouTube... and since my time is limited, I have decided to spend more time updating the blog.

Part of this change means I will be moving the blog from blogger.com to it's own hosting account.

The blog can now be found at: http://www.toughquestionsblog.com

Check out the new look, and let me know what you think.

Morals separate us from the animals...

According to common Christian dogma, humans are the only creatures God created with morals. Morality is supposedly proof that we were created in "God's image."

This video shows that altruistic behavior is not limited to the human species. This video was taken by a traffic camera, it shows a dog risking it's own life in order to rescue another dog that had been hit by a truck.

Bill O'Reilly thinks it's "fascist" to teach science in science class.

Bill O'Reilly is a huge fan of the "God of the Gaps." His entire argument consists of saying that science doesn't know everything, so until it does he is justified in making stuff up.

Oh, and he thinks it's "fascist" to limit science class to teaching SCIENCE! Heck Bill, maybe you're right. Maybe we should be teaching the kids how to read tarot cards, and show them how to balance their chokras too.

If we're going to teach that unverified claims are as good as evidence based, peer-reviewed, scientific theory, then why bother teaching the scientific method at all?
