Every once and awhile, however, they decide to take a pot shot at the nonbeliever. The latest Watchtower magazine in it’s article “Is It Possible to Build Faith in a [...]

Why Do Americans Fail To Understand Science?
This morning I was listening to the Minnesota Public Radio Midmorning podcast. In particular, I was listening to a discussion of the topic “New polls indicates a dim view of U.S. scientific achievement” (listen to it here).

RyanSutter.Net’s 700th Post!
This morning I tried riding my bike to the bus and taking it with me for the first time using the bike rack on the front of the bus. Two things to note: 1) I’m a moron for not doing this sooner and 2) I have no idea what the damn combination is to [...]
