Wow, a cool video about Human|Monkeys and what’s going on in our monkey reality here on earth. Video by Ernest Cline.
“Darwinian man, though well behaved, at best is only a monkey shaved.” – Arthur Sullivan, 1884
“Dance Monkeys Dance began life as a slam poem that I wrote in the fall of 2000. It was largely inspired by the work of two of my heroes, Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams. I included the poem on my first spoken word CD and also made it available as a free download on my website. It became one of my most popular recordings, and a lot of people emailed it to their friends and posted links to it on blogs and message boards.”About DMD

Richard Dawkins your Response To Callers Question yesterday Was Too Weak
Posted by pwl on March 5, 2009
At about 31 minutes 20 seconds into the interview Richard Dawkins answers a question about history and the validity of the “virgin birth”. Dawkins, in my view didn’t answer that very well.
Yes, one time events in history can’t be repeated by using the scientific method, so how do you test the claims of the “resurrection” of “jesus”?
Well, that’s easy with biology. When a human being dies their body decays. Upon heart dead, brain death and cell death, living bodies decay. Micro organisms immediately start eating your body from the insides out and outside in. Bugs and insects of all kinds begin their feasting on a pretty much set schedule. The body decays. If you’re unlucky enough to die away from a modern hospital emergency room there is no hope, and if you were lucky to be in an ER there is a very small chance they can being you back from some causes of death, like a heart attack, but the percentage is very low.
Laws of science not just rule in possibilities but they rule out possibilities. So nope, no possibility of any resurrection for anyone named jesus in the first century! This is proven by the laws of biology that we know of today. Therefore the resurrection of jesus is simply a bad bed time story written by superstitious folks or by con men attempting to con the masses back in the day. Looks like many are still taken in by this obvious attempt to undermine people’s ability to reason critically with objective reality in mind.

Richard Dawkins Interview on Minnesota Public Radio
Posted by pwl on March 4, 2009
Dawkins Interview mp3 download.
Richard Dawkins, author of “The God Delusion,” is on Midmorning this morning. I’m thinking people are going to need an outlet to react to what he has to say, so News Cut will step into the line of fire. Dawkins says atheists should be just as forthright in their views as those who believe God is real.
