This has been bugging me on and off for a while. I've summarised what I can remember below. (?) Indicates I'm not too sure of the accuracy of the recollection. As a youth I remember reading a novel about a man who crawls into a barn to escape a storm. The barn turns out to be a spaceship...

The biggest problem with homeopaths is the mistaken link made between cause and effect. I will expand on MRC Hans’ analogy of the thunder and the barrel to try to explain the situation in a little more detail. It all starts with Hahneman observing that people taking substances that cause...

Of the three rather unusual incidents in my life, the third one occurred in 1998. But before I relate the events, let me make some statements: The literary style of this text is prose. The text contains no humour, no exaggerations or distortions of reality, no intentionally misleading...

I was just wondering this morning if someone (a Christian) could explain why Noah's flood stories for children always leave out this important lesson. Is it because it seems to contradict the lessons that Noah's flood is supposed to teach? Is it because it seems to contradict this earlier...

I worte this short story for school. Thought I'd share it! I see all Madra did not use cards or crystal balls to see into the future, instead she relied on her dreams. When she would tell fortunes she would fall into a trance, a dream like state, and she believed that she could tell...

If someone else told me this, I wouldn't believe it. It's only because it happened to me that I'm still puzzling at it. Many years ago, when I was at school, we had a Biology teacher called Mr. Brodie. One day we had Biology last period in the afternoon, and we were learning about the cabbage...

Did anybody hear the National Public Radio report this morning about the Christian fundamentalists views on the situation with Israel and the Palestinians? The fundy point of view was delved into in detail - the end of times is coming, or not, depending on biblical interpretations, a lengthy...

I need a little help here. I was recently involved in a debate with someone here over contradictions in the Easter story. I pointed to the story "Leave No Stone Unturned" (http://www.ffrf.org/lfif/stone.html), where someone suggests that it is impossible to write a complete timeline of the...
