Q: Why do people follow the bible so fanatically?

October 9, 2009

Q: Why do people follow the bible so fanatically? The bible’s influence on the majority of the population is on par with Hitler’s influence on his own people.

Untruth: Obama did nothing to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

October 9, 2009

Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” The committee voted for Obama just twelve days after he took office, so their decision was not influenced by the work he has done since becoming president. It was made because of such things as his […]

Untruth: Evolution proves there is no God.

October 8, 2009

Contrary to popular belief, evolutionists make no claim that biological evolution proves that God does not exist. In fact, many leaders in the field of evolutionary theory are theists, and many of them have no problem reconciling their beliefs with their work. All attempts to disprove evolution have proven futile. Considering this, doesn’t it make […]

Untruth: Obama’s czars are controversial.

October 6, 2009

The suggestion that President Obama’s so-called czars are unprecedented or a violation of the Constitution has been thoroughly debunked. People that continue to talk about this idea are either poorly informed or intentionally misrepresenting ideas in order to create controversy. These people are legally appointed by the president, they must be approved by the Senate, […]

Untruth: Republicans are racist.

October 5, 2009

Just because some Republicans are racist doesn’t mean that all (or even most) of them are. In fact, no political party is immune to racism because it is based on natural human traits that have been bred into us over millions of years. Xenophobia is one of those traits, and it sometimes serves social groups of organisms […]

Untruth: Police know what it’s like to be tasered.

October 3, 2009

Police are sometimes tasered during their training to help them understand how it feels. However, a person that is being subdued by law enforcement is in a completely different situation. When police are tasered it’s for demonstration purposes only, it happens in a controlled environment, they willingly let other people tase them, they usually know the […]

Untruth: Best-selling means high-quality.

October 2, 2009

Terms like “best-selling” and “most-watched” are used in place of “high-quality,” but it is simply a marketing trick intended to play into hype. While it is true that quality things tend to be watched or consumed at higher rates than things of poor quality, don’t put the cart before the horse. Many times (and, arguably, […]

Untruth: Evolution is just a theory.

October 1, 2009

Yes, evolution is just a theory. But it isn’t a theory in the sense that most people use the word. The confusion comes from the fact that theory has multiple meanings. The differences are really subtle, so it’s easy to confuse them. Definition 1: a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an […]
