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.

can’t take that literally…”), so their default position is that we need
to be overly generous as we scrutinize the gospel stories; give the
gospel writers the benefit of the doubt that they were sincere and somehow got it right.
