oday, the front page of Prof. Richard Dawkins is advertising, “VOICES OF SCIENCE: PZ Myers – Buy it now on DVD.” Oh, PZ Myers is also a scientist? Who would’a’thunk’it?!?! Well, that is what I get for procrastinating. I had written up two nice little essays on PZ Myers’ shenanigans and before I got a…

One of life’s greatest mysteries is why Dan Barker is considered an apt representative of atheism and an able debater. During his debate with Kyle Butt that was entitled “Does the God of the Bible Exist?” (hear it here) and which took place on Charles Darwin’s birthday he, yet again, premised his credentials upon being…

The New Testament? A Jewish book? Oi vey! Is not the New Testament a Gentile book written by Pagans? Let us see… Jesus was Jewish. His Jewish parents took him to the Temple to be circumcised on the eighth day. His parents took Him to the Temple feasts. He attended the synagogue and, when of…

Biologists or, rather, Darwinist, PZ Myers has announced “I officially divorce myself from the skeptic movement.” Interestingly, with his divorce proceedings, as it were, he noted, “the existence of gods is not a testable claim” and one can understand why he would make the claim since PZ Myers is an adherent of the positive affirmation…

The Targumim: Here we present samples of the Targumim (plural for Targum, which the Goyim refer to as “Targums”) which are Aramaic paraphrases of the Old Testament dating from the 1st c. BC. The Targumim take liberties in paraphrasing texts. For example, if the Targumist thought that a text spoke of the Messiah they would…

All the prophets prophesied only of the days of the Messiah -Talmud-Sanhedrin 99a Isaac and the Future Sacrifice (continued): The event involving Abraham and Issac is called the aqedah. Jewish author Philip Segal writes, Two concepts of Judaic theology emerge from the story of the aqedah: vicarious atonement and the suffering of the righteous. Both…

Odd and Unfounded Assertions: When we are presented with fanciful interpretations of evidence we inevitably run across strange comments on all sorts of issues.
