"The question is do they even believe in the existence of those other planets?"
"I like that quote by Ruth H Green.
I think it was Aurelius who said we can't help the gods. If there are gods and they are good, we have nothing to fear. If they are malicious, there is nothing to help us. But we can help our fellow men"
"Most people I know believe their miracles without investigation. They are written in a book and that book is good enough for them"

We have had long rains since April and part of May. Now we are easing into the cold month of June through to July or August. I don't think it rained as much as it did last year but maybe the data from the weatherman might say a…"
"Thanks Mrs. B. I have just gone through the article and it is depressing what happened to those children."

"Mrs B, I think it worked perfectly well. We are still a sinning as they did then."

Of the gods

From his Tusculan disputations, it appears Cicero was way ahead of the the creationists. in that work, the teleological arguments are made and dispensed with including the argument from complexity, Behe's favourite.
In this post, I dwell on the response by Cotta, a priest, to the arguments advanced by Vellieus, an Epicurean,
African religion
Posted on March 22, 2018 at 7:31am 2 Comments 2 Likes
Most commentary on religion on the web deals mainly with the Abrahamic faiths. Whenever Buddhism is talked about, mainly it is like now when they are fighting the muslim minority in Burma. African religions hardly ever get a mention or even a footnote. It is this anomaly that I seek to correct by writing a few pieces on African religion to join those others written by people more qualified than I am.…

My thoughts on the education of children

Hi Onyango, you have remained fit if your pic is any indication. If you are still running up Kenya Mountain you have my respect. As for me i continue to hike in the hot weather but i despise it.

Thank you Onyango for your kind thoughts.
Yes! They certainly are strange times that we are witnessing.

Well we didn't have a white Yuletide. More like an '50's - '60's Aussie winter cool to cold and damp with the occasional misty day.
Over here they tend to celebrate the New Year more than the Xmas. And this year every thing is quiet and low keyed.
How are things in your corner of this beautiful Planet?
