Excerpt from Chapter 13: Meeting the Wizard : ..."What does woman want?" Tim asked with a soft chuckle. "It's a question Freud asked, the best question he ever asked, I think, though he wasn't able to answer it. I see it as a great title for a book I'll write someday. Perhaps you can write it with me?" "First, I'll get what I want, then I'll write about it," I replied. I lit a Gitane and placed the pack on the table. Timothy, who had been smoking Camels, took a Gitane out and lit it as well. "Fair enough. I know something about how to do that. The real trick is not giving away too much in th

More good news today. Ryanair will start flying direct from Basel to Dublin on the 30th of October. It’s the first direct route between here and there. I know O’Leary’s tighter than a camels butt in a sandstorm but there’s a direct flight now so big hugs and kisses all round!

I have read most of Dr. Leary's books, and even got some CDs, but listening to this CD really gave me some kind of flash back. For those who are interested in knowing what it was like to attend Dr. Leary's Psychedelic Experiences, I would suggest that you give it a try. Just by closing your eyes and listening to Dr. Leary's voice you can find yourself projected in some totally unknow corner of your mind. "
Humans not 99% chimpanzee? Who would have guessed?
Who would have guessed? Well anyone familiar with the damned science, for starters. Maybe that’s why O’Leary was taken aback?
From 2005, 96%. Before that the number I remember hearing was 98%. The folks at AiG heard the same.
But I have a confession. I’ve been a crushed darwinomaterioathieophile ever since hearing that chimps aren’t quite kissing cousins, because, well, now my whole worldview has collapsed.
Bloody hell!
Here is yet another example of the creationists disrespect for real science. As I’ve explained before and as ought to be be brutally obvious, scientists work with the information available. As new information becomes available theories must be altered. It is a process called progress, or, colloquially, “living and learning”. Now, as AiG has just noted, new information has become available. Unlike real scientists and in opposition to common sense, they conclude that the science is all wron
That myth?
Religious folk, we are told, opposed anesthesia in childbirth because women should suffer, right?
Post-Darwinist: Materialist myths: Religious people opposed anesthesia in childbirth!
I first have to ask if O’Leary thinks that Genesis 3:16 is a myth? It reads:
To the woman he said, “I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
Genesis 3:16 (New International Version)
I ask because this is just the chunk of the Bible that was quoted to me not thirty years ago by a good old fashion Southern Baptist woman to illustrate to me that women are supposed to suffer in childbirth and that consequently all this medicating is spitting in God’s face. Now, maybe I have this all mixed up but I’ve never associated fundamentalist Southern Baptism with ‘materialism’.
Really, this kind of makes O’Leary’s cries of “its
Denyse O’Leary, “Toronto-based journalist, grandmother, Roman Catholic Christian”, and I add, “comedian, pinball wizard, rising ID star, big fish in Dembski’s very dirty pool” has raised another non-issue. Specifically, she asks:
Would genome mapper Francis Crick be permitted to suggest that intelligent aliens seeded the universe today?
Would Crick be allowed to suggest such a thing?
Well, of course he would. He could suggest anything he wants. He could suggest it then; he could suggest it now.
The problem isn’t in suggesting it. Scientists suggest all kinds of bizarre things. No one censors suggestion, though it is standard creationist rhetoric to suggest that good wholesome creationist science is quashed by the bad scientific cabal. Nonsense.
The problem ID faces isn’t in suggesting that there might be some kind of intelligent agency at work. Haven’t the ID theorists been suggesting that for decades now? And the creationists bef
"You are the hottest, sexiest, most empowered generation ever. You're in charge of your own evolution now that we've deciphered the DNA code. The future is going to be different. You can't be bought off because there are just too many of you. You can make the world into anything you want. Open up the all the world's future possibilities. So you should go for it"
O’Leary… comedian, pinball wizard, rising ID star, big fish in Dembski’s very dirty pool, and now…
Imagine that. In nations where the public school systems are increasingly unable to find common ground among competing interest groups, these home schooling menaces want to provide religious and moral instruction to their own children.
Home schooling: A worry to materialists?
O’Leary knows damn well that the objection isn’t to parents providing religious and moral instruction to their kids. Perhaps, as the article says, this is the motivation for homeschooling, but certainly O’Leary knows that she is misdirecting. The problem is that religion and morals is only part of what the kids get taught. The rest of what they get is bad science– wretchedly bad voodoo snake oil garbage.
These students are part of a large, well-organised movement that is empowering parents to teach their children creationist biology and other unorthodox versions of s
As we reported some time ago, Kate Thornton has been dumped as presenter of the talent show X Factor. Well the decision has finally been made as to who will host the next series, and it is Channel 4′ Big Brother’s Little Brother presenter Dermot O’Leary.
Dermot had this to say, “I’m really looking forward to working with Simon and the team on the kind of Saturday night entertainment show I grew up watching.”
ITV’s Controller of Entertainment, Duncan Gray has said, “Dermot is a star. He’s warm, clever and funny and he was our number one choice for the job. We’re thrilled to have him on ITV.”

Millinerd has this uncanny ability to wind up in the middle of these discussions that really defy the imagination. What is amazing is that this time around the person he was commenting on actually comments several times on his blog! There is a lot of dialogue going on. Make sure to check it out.
When I heard of the deaths of 34 children in Qana today many things went through my mind. Had Israel overplayed its hand? Had Hezbollah been delivered a slight reprieve in its weakened condition?
What must the people of Lebanon be thinking? Where does their anger lie?
Are they angrier with Israel for assaulting them or with Hezbollah for placing targets on their backs? Perhaps they are upset
