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.

The Apologist's Argument to the Best Explanation Debunked
The main problem with this philosophical argument (inference to the best explanation) is that, at best, it leads to a testable hypothesis. Apologists run with this and make an argument from
ignorance, or form a “God of the Gaps” argument. Science works and has
progressed human knowledge by requiring hypotheses to be able to be falsified. Many claims of religions are not falsifiable, however, all falsifiable hypotheses posited by religious apologists have been falsified. One is entitled to one's opinion, but not one's
facts.
