Kudos for Steve Novella who is acting as a mediator and a voice of reason. And I'm so encouraged by Harriet Hall and Amy Davis Roth's letters to each other! They are a show of great maturity, and…Continue

Don commented on Adriana's group Freethought and Funny Bones"This stone is a a little hilltop cemetery a few miles from my place in Vermont. The old motif here is of an hourglass whose sands have run out, hence: "My glass is run." But note that some time long ago some wag added a…"

Ancient DNA Found Hidden Below Sea Floor
The deep sea floor (5,000 meters below the surface) is the world's repository of most ancient DNA so far. DNA has just been found of 32,000 year old unicellular organisms, belong to radiolarians and foraminifera to fish out DNA from those groups. Sequencing analysis showed they'd found 169 foraminifera species and 21 radiolarian species, many of which were unknown. In addition, several of the foraminifera…See More
Adriana commented on Carnun's blog post 'Atheism is for white people'"For those of you interested in atheism in the black community in the US, reading Dr. Sikivu Hutchinson's blog or books is a must. She is a member of our site too!"
Adriana replied to Neal's discussion The dark side of home schooling: creating soldiers for the culture war in the group Education"America is weird this way; there is a lot of leeway in what is considered schooling. I grew up in Uruguay, and homeschooling is illegal there. Children have to be sent to either public schools or accredited private schools. The idea is that going to…"
Adriana replied to Claudia Mercedes Mazzucco's discussion World Thinkers 2013"Unsurprising that Dawkins would win such a poll in the UK. He's popular everywhere, but especially in his native UK.
I had never heard of Ghani, so, thanks for posing, now I learned something new!"
Adriana replied to Onyango Makagutu's discussion On morality in the group Philosophers Stone"Yes, that is correct. Moral values exist for the purpose of maintaining social cohesion. That is why moral values change pretty often, as culture changes. Having said that, I think we come equipped with some basic moral "programs" that are…"

Onyango Makagutu said… I got the email for the University of Nairobi freethinkers group. I have written to them once they respond then I can have quite something to post on my blog about it.

That's a good idea and I was hoping I could get the exec director's contact from the site. I got but the domain ain't recognized, so I hope by writing about it, it may just attract their attention

No I didn't! I wasn't aware there is a humanist group in my former university[the University of Nairobi] or CFI in Kenya for that matter :(. Thanks for this and I'll make inquiries to find out what they do.
