EMPTY SPACE

There are no more "gaps" in which
the "God of the gaps" can hide
"As I have defined it this far, the relevant "nothing" from which our observed "something" arises is "empty space." However, once we allow for the merging of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity, we can extend this argument to the case where space itself is forced into existence."

- Lawrence Krauss "A Universe from Nothing."

HOW SHOULD AUSTRALIAN CHRISTADELPHIANS VOTE IN THE 2013 ELECTION?

How you vote in the 2013 election will decide your future. 

Will you vote for the incumbent party who have made your religion out-dated and irrelevant to modern society? Their divided leadership is bickering over Evolution, the age of the Earth, the origin of the universe and many other issues. They are hidebound by tradition and have no clear vision for the future of Christadelphianism. Their intellectuals seem to despise their own community and spend most of their time studying the websites of other religions or deconverting. If our page view counter is an opinion poll, the Christadelphian Theist Party are heading for a landslide defeat.

AN APPEAL TO INTELLIGENT CHRISTADELPHIANS

I have just read online the Christadelphian preaching booklet "Creation or Chance" on the Coventry Grosvenor Road Christadelphian Ecclesial website.

If you have not already read it, you can scan through it here:

What is up with you guys? How can you remain in a religion that publishes garbage like that? That booklet is even worse than the Evangelical Church material that it copies.

PLEASE RECOMMEND US TO YOUR FRIENDS

Look at our page views, they are soaring! Six months ago they were 3,000 per 30 day period. See the live page view counter on the right sidebar for the latest numbers.

The recent shock deconversion and resignation of brother Rod Hyndman doubled our page view numbers overnight and we are keeping those new readers.

OUR 5 MINUTE SUPER-EXPRESS DECONVERSION COURSE

Several correspondents and commenters on this website have written to complain that it's taking far too long to deconvert using our existing techniques.  There is so much material to read on this and on other Christadelphian deconversion websites that it can take years to read it all. Even our new Fast Track Deconversion Service is much too slow for some enthusiastic Christadelphians. For example one elderly sister wrote to say:

ANSWER TO BIBLE QUESTION 2

The answer is that Jeremiah wrote the last  six chapters of Zechariah and some post exilic forger tacked Jeremiah onto the end of Zechariah (which comes to a natural end at the conclusion of chapter eight) in an effort to turn the book of Zechariah in to a post exilic apocalyptic work. He succeeded and the Christadelphians fell for it. They think that Zechariah 12 - 14 refers to the return of Christ; which of course is nonsense.

A NEW TITLE FOR THIS BLOG

Yet another change of name for this website. I've never been happy with the "Atheism" tag because I agree with Lawrence Krauss that "we should not buy into absolutes."

Looking at things from a scientific perspective, things are either likely or unlikely. I think that it is extremely unlikely that there is a God, or that the Bible is inspired. But to shut the door on a possibility is not intellectually honest. That is NOT how the scientific method operates.

WILL EVERYONE PLEASE STOP COMMENTING AS "ANONYMOUS"

You guys are driving me nuts! Just about everyone signs in as "Anonymous" when they make a comment and this causes endless confusion.

Instead of being "Anonymous" please use the drop down menu and chose "Name/URL". Disregard the "URL" part and give yourself a name.

AN APPEAL TO THE ACADEMIC CHRISTADELPHIAN APOLOGISTS

I know that you know that your faith is no longer defensible. Our recent celebrity deconvertant obviously thinks the same way. 


BIBLE QUESTION 2

Matthew 27:9 says that Jeremiah wrote Zechariah 11:13.


MATTHEW
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;  And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

MORE PSEUDO-SCIENCE AND NONSENSE FROM THE TESTIMONY MAGAZINE


Another great article from one of my Christadelphian heroes, brother Ken Gilmore, over at his excellent Facebook page.

Visit Ken's site and give him some support and thanks for all the wonderful work that he is doing to promote rational thinking amongst Christadelphians.

Also see my comments at the end.



LETTERS FROM A SISTER WHO LOST HER FAITH (5)

Editor's Note: Another letter contributed by one of the finest Christadelphian sisters that ever graced an ecclesial hall. Her real name is Dawn and you all know who this wonderful sister is in real life.

BIBLE QUESTION

This one is for the Christadelphians. Our science readers won't be able to get it and the Ex-Christadelphians won't care what the answer is; much less try to work it out.  :) 



EVOLUTION QUESTION

The answer has nothing to do with this picture
What did both Darwin and Richard Dawkins believe was the single strongest piece of evidence known to man that proved the truth of Evolution?

There is no record of a Creationists ever even attempting to answer this proof. They don't even try.
