A special video edition of Photo Sunday! Last month on our honeymoon, my wife and I went on a whale-watching tour in St. Lucia. We only saw one whale – at a distance, and he didn’t let us get close enough for me to take any good pictures – but the dolphins were another story.…

The Case for a Creator, Closing Thoughts After spending over a year on this project, we’ve come to the end of The Case for a Creator. Before bringing this series to a close, I have some closing thoughts on the overall message and tactics of the book. First: Although Lee Strobel tries to pass Case…

As you’ve probably heard, last week a 60-foot-high Jesus statue in Ohio, nicknamed “Touchdown Jesus“, was completely destroyed in a fire after being struck by lightning. An adjacent amphitheater, part of the same evangelical church, was also burned and suffered hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. The church has already vowed to rebuild the…

If you’re a regular reader, you probably know that I got married last month. Until now, I haven’t said much about the event itself on Daylight Atheism. But now that I’m back from my honeymoon (slightly sunburned, but happy!) and I’ve had some time to reflect, I wanted to put into words some of my…

“A qualitative and quantitative study of the incidence, features, and aetiology of near death experiences in cardiac arrest survivors.” Resuscitation 48 (2001): 149-156.

I haven’t put up any pictures in a while, so here’s a new one. It’s from my honeymoon last month – we stayed at a resort on the west coast of the island of St. Lucia, a developing but beautiful country with some (in my humble opinion) of the world’s most gorgeous scenery, including a…

The Problem: Many religions, including Christianity, teach that unjustified anger and violence are sins that risk the offender’s eternal soul. The Ten Commandments order people not to murder – usually a crime committed in the throes of anger – while Jesus says that even a momentary outburst of anger can lead to damnation: “But I…

On the sidebar of this site, I have listings of atheist blogs and podcasts that I like and recommend. The one thing I don’t have a good list of, however, is atheist web forums. I used to post on IIDB, but no longer, and I haven’t been a regular on any bulletin boards in a…

(Editor’s Note: This review was solicited and is written in accordance with this site’s policy for such reviews.) Summary: A scholarly survey of the atheism of dead white guys. Much like Christopher Hitchens’ The Portable Atheist, Dr. Michael Palmer’s The Atheist’s Creed is intended as an anthology of atheist thought from historical to modern times.…

I know that I haven’t updated Ebon Musings very often these past few months, but now that all my wedding-related activities are over and done with, I hope to change that. I have several topics in mind that I intend to write new essays about, probably later this year. In the meantime, as a promissory…
