Science - Not Fiction

By Credo Quia Absurdum

Christadelphians have sought to portray themselves as "A religion that makes sense" - as the old tract has it. In doing so they reject much of what mainstream Christianity includes, such as belief in the existence of malevolent supernatural forces - which certainly makes sense in the modern scientific world. And they go considerably further than the biblical authors who clearly understood that there were demons amongst the evil supernatural beings that were opposed to god.

The UK bans the teaching of creationism as science in all publicly funded schools

The Ken-Cat
By Christadelphian Ken Gilmore

Excellent news indeed. Via i09
Back in 2012, the UK government banned all future free schools from teaching creationism as science, requiring them to teach natural selection. At the time, however, it didn't extend those requirement to academies, nor did the changes apply to existing free schools. The new verbiage changes this, precluding all public-funded schools — present or future — from teaching creationism as evidence-based theory. 

Denial of Supernatural Elements of Scripture

By Ex-Christadelphian Tim Woodall

One key aspect of Christadelphian theology which helps explain it is the denial of many supernatural elements in scripture that most of mainstream Christianity believes.  Man to them is a physical being.  He doesn’t have an immaterial soul or spirit.  Neither does God also for that matter.  Nor is there a devil.  This simply refers to “sin in the flesh”.  Nor are there demons.  This simply refers to mental illness, epilepsy and other disorders.

Editor's Note: I bring you a remarkable piece of Christadelphian history. Christadelphians have debated each other before and on rare occasions one protagonist has outgunned the other to the point that the loser was blown out of the water. But never before have we seen the Christadelphian equivalent of the night-time carpet bombing of Tokyo towards the conclusion of the Second World War, coupled with the two atomic bomb detonations at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in which the loser is vaporised out of all existence to the point that even the electrons, protons and neutrons of his very atoms have been broken down into their particle constituents and then shot into the Quantum Void and most likely ended up in a quite different Universe to the one in which we live. :)

Fractal Wrongness and why it is not a good idea

Source

Fractal wrongness is the state of being wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. That is, from a distance, a fractally wrong person's worldview is incorrect; and furthermore, if you zoom in on any small part of that person's worldview, that part is just as wrong as the whole worldview.

There's no such thing as 'atheistic' science. It's just science.

meets Lawrence Krauss
By Christadelphian Ken Gilmore
(The best Ex-Christadelphian writer we never had)

Physical anthropologist and evangelical Christian James Kidder has commented on former YEC James MacMillan's ongoing series of posts at Panda's Thumb detailing how YECs intellectually wave away the evidence for evolution. Kidder's comment is worth noting, as it mirrors the deeply flawed thinking of the evolution denialists in our community who seem to think that science is intrinsically anti-theistic:
