Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.

Moral Dilemmas
Religious folks like to tout their dogmatic "morality" instead of realizing that morality really is not as "Black and White" as they believe. A clear example of this gray area is the Trolley Car Problem. as well as the decisions made regarding going to war with "the other." Now, consider the abortion debate and "Pro-life." Here, there are two entities: an independent adult and a potential human person depending on the mother for its progress toward independent personhood. The "Pro-life" folks just ignore biology and bodily autonomy to promulgate their dogma. I am willing to wager that these same people would not agree to an answer to the trolley problem. 'Nuff said.
