As your Chairman has told you, the subject about which I am going to speak to you tonight is "Why I Am Not a Christian.

A new exposé of Mother Teresa shows that she—and the Vatican—were even worse than we thought.

Morality 1: Good without gods. Don't Blame the Atheists. David Humes View On Miracles. Believers and sceptics’ alike need a form of criteria in order declare something a miracle.
According to Hume a ‘miracle’ is an anomalous event caused “by a particular volition of the Deity, or by the interposition of some invisible agent.” Hume also proposes that if such an event were to occur, it would have an apparent interference in the ‘laws of nature’ which he described as being “established by firm and unalterable experience.” For example, the law of gravitation or irreversible biological decay which is based upon empirical observation. In a religious context miracles are related to beliefs of ‘divine intervention’ as denoted in biblical scriptures such as the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Conversely, this appears to have a potential conflict with the modern scientific viewpoint, as such beliefs make claims about the natural world on the basis of religious authority and personal experience, rather than any discernible evidence.

Referring to the debate about the origin of and evolution of life, he noted that: Few men, I suppose, now doubt that the mutability of allied species, once considered as fixed and unchangeable, has been substantially proved...No one, again, seriously doubts that in this development the process which Darwin termed Natural Selection is one potent factor. When Charles Darwin first outlined his theory, in 1859's Origin of Species, some Christians objected to the lack of divine guidance in the scheme.
Few, however, still clung to the 17th century chronology of Archbishop Ussher, who had dated the creation to 4004 BC, or objected to the findings of geology that the earth was many millions of years old.

"It All Comes Down to Faith" (Part 2) The Watchmaker And Other Creationist Arguments. Argument from design. The argument from design, also known as the teleological argument, is an argument for the existence of God that may be summarized as follows: When I see a complex object such as a watch, I know it has been designed: therefore, when I see a complex object such as a tiger, I should infer that it has been designed.
This act of comparing two objects and drawing similar conclusions based on similarities (while ignoring important differences) is a prime example of a false analogy. [edit] History It is commonplace to associate the argument from design with William Paley, so much so that it is often referred to as "Paley's argument" (or "Paley's watch"). It is equally an error to charge Paley with plagiarism on this count: he was writing about an opinion so widely known in his time that it was not necessary for him to disclaim originality; and it is not his fault that subsequent generations have tended to give him the credit for the argument.

Darwin and eugenics? Wrong again « Millard Fillmore's Bathtub. Again at Café Philos, the anti-Darwin fifth columnists do their best to continue distortions of history, in this case, in high irony, claiming NOT to defend John Freshwater.
