Exposing the illusion of the material world. The term black hole is a misnomer. A black hole isn’t empty space, it’s the opposite. It’s a region of space so dense even light can’t escape its boundary.

All human societies function through a set of shared values, beliefs, and practices. Culture is the conceptual infrastructure of a society. These cultural… Continue reading The Insidious Cult of Scientism – The power of cultural indoctrination.

The human search for meaning. Human life is an existential crisis. We do what we can to avoid it. We try to ignore it, outsource it, delegate it, divert our attention from it or deny it exists.

Scientific euphemisms and equivocations The question of cosmic origins is a perennially popular question, but most theists think the answer has been known for thousands of years.
