Re: The Post That Got Me Shadow-Banned From Sic et Non
The coolest thing about star formation is that it is an example of spontaneous concentration of heat. A big cloud of cold gas in space happens to have a few faster-moving atoms pass through the same spot for a while: that's a thermal fluctuation, making that little spot slightly hotter, for a littl...

Re: The Post That Got Me Shadow-Banned From Sic et Non
Does Midgley come by that online persona naturally or does he have to put effort in being a dick?

Re: The Post That Got Me Shadow-Banned From Sic et Non
Howdy folks. I've been posting at Sic et Non for a few weeks, but was recently shadow-banned. That means only I can see my posts. If I log out of Sic et Non then my posts have have the message "comment has been deleted." Sic et Non is nothing more than an echo chamber. It's too bad that DanielPeter...

Re: Do Mormons have a valid position on the problem of evil
I have always wondered about the free agency idea when 1/3 of heaven fell away having full knowledge of god's power. If you believe in the pre existence this is a death blow to free will. I still find problems with god's navigating a universe they don't control. What is to prevent them from finding ...

Re: Do Mormons have a valid position on the problem of evil
you will realise that there are things called complex numbers that at first glance seem impossible, but that enable one to solve equations that otherwise have no solution. Sometimes theology can have concepts a bit like that, and the incarnation is one of them. Mathematics is a manmade construct ju...

Re: Do Mormons have a valid position on the problem of evil
Peter Bleakley has an interesting take on Mormonism and the problem of evil. The key ingredient I would add if I talked about that again is the idea that our intelligences, whatever they are but I'm assuming a unit of light and truth with the inbuilt potential to progress and go all the way to becom...

No. My best guess is focused on the textbook definition of natural selection.

Re: Mormonism, factual relativism, and Donald Trump
Thanks. Although I left Mormonism a number of years ago and have discussed it in discussions with NPR and other general-interest media, I haven't interacted much with with the Post-Mormon community. Now that I am working on a memoir the deals heavily with Christian fundamentalism, I figured I shoul...

Re: Epic Mormonism Live on Rosebud Accusations
I think there is an orchestrated attack on anything perceived as anti Mormon from the church. I think the internet has forced them into a rabid frenzy similar to what gay marriage did and their pox. I certainly wouldn't exclude the possibility. What is the evidence supporting this, however? The Kwa...
