Witnesses to the War of Faith vs Science

Posted April 30, 2019 By John C Wright

This is a reprint of an article from several years ago. I have once again encountered someone who perhaps had learned Church history from Carl Sagan’s COSMOS. Portraying Galileo as a martyr to science mugged by obscurantists is perfectly in accord with the War of Faith vs Science myth central to the faith of idolaters of science, who love, but who do not do or know science.

I cannot tell you how wearisome it is to contradict the same wearisome falsehoods endlessly. No matter how often the trial is held, the accused is never found not guilty.

As a public service, I would like to list people who, if only I could, I would call to the witness stand to give their opinion about the war between Science and the Church.

Let us rank them in alphabetical order, with links, shall we?

Battle site of the City of Sudden Death

Posted April 29, 2019 By John C Wright

A reader named Zjerzy asked for a map of Threno. Unfortunately, unlike my map of Pangaea Ultima, which is, or, rather, will be, a real place for which ready made maps can be found, this result is crude.

Lost on the Last Continent, Episode 81 Massacred by Morlocks

Posted April 25, 2019 By John C Wright

Lost on the Last Continent, Episode 81 Massacred by Morlocks, is now posted.

Episode 81 Massacred by Morlocks

In this exciting episode, his secret weapon, and all hope of victory, now gone, Colonel Lost, the Roman Legionnaires, and the exiled giant Grind Goldtooth, trapped aboard the wreckage of their crashlanded sky-pirate ship, must battle desperately in hand to hand combat against the overwhelming numbers of subterranean albino cannibals from the 8028th Century, who advance through clouds of poisonous gas with pincer-blades clashing and lunging! 

And yet what is the sudden alchemical apparition of fire, long forgotten since the days of the glory of Byzantium, which comes to the aid of the doomed corsairs?

New Options for Subscribers!

Posted April 23, 2019 By John C Wright

Jagi, here:

Some of you have expressed discontent with Patreon and have asked for other ways to support.

Hearing your cries, our brave webmaster has put together a page to allow people to participate in the reward tiers without contributing to Patreon.  This uses PayPal directly, rather than going through Patreon first.

You can find the new page here.

To participate, pick the level of giving from the list above the Subscribe button. (If you click on the arrow, it will appear.) A description of each tier is include below the Subscribe button.

If you wish to participate in the rewards, please write the tier you wish to subscribe to in the Paypal memo space?

Thanks!

Jagi et al in the Wright Household

PS: For those who are dismayed with PayPal as well, John is still investigating other options, including the revived SubscribeStar.

Evidence of Christ, Rational and Empirical

Posted April 22, 2019 By John C Wright

You have often heard the claim that Christians rest on faith rather than evidence to support our belief in Christ. This is false.

Anyone unfamiliar with the basic points raised in this presentation would be wise to lay a hand across his mouth and hold his peace when such matters are being discussed.

The Absoluteness of the Absolute

Posted April 19, 2019 By John C Wright

A reader asked me why men otherwise so intelligent could be deceived by a heresy like Arianism. I think the question misguided.

Myself, I do not see Arianism or Orthodoxy necessarily as a matter of smart or not smart.

To be fair, if anything, the orthodox position is more mysterious and paradoxical than the heretical position either of Arianism or Docetism.

Quote of the Day

Posted April 19, 2019 By John C Wright

The Quote of the Day for today, Good Friday 2019, come from our own Great One, known as Zaklog the Great, and our own Good Wizard, known as RJ Wizard. From a conversation in the Comments Box. Together, they are like the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz, but with less humbug.

First, from Zaklog the Great:

Let’s look at recent news: what is one thing that atheists have created that is one tenth as beautiful and enduring as the Norte Dame Cathedral?

Next, from RJ Wizard:

And… crickets…
The only lasting monuments of atheism are the gulags, Stalin’s execution lists, China’s Movement, the guillotine and French river of blood, the attempted Mexican extermination of Catholicism and other such monuments.

This is what groups that are explicitly atheist have done – these are their monuments. It is a fact so obvious that I knew it as such even when I was an atheist.

Absence of Evidence is Proof of Conspiracy

Posted April 18, 2019 By John C Wright

Part of an ongoing conversation. Our Mr Johnson says:

“You asked on what grounds that I do not believe in the resurrection. The answer being the only witnesses have been exclusively filtered through century after century of people who built their entire lives around the idea that it was true. “

I understood the answer.

My question was why you believe things that also have this property, namely, that they were passed along through the generations by people who believed them, such as the death of Caesar and his appearance as a ghost to Brutus, do not also excite equal skepticism?

Wbhat about the Death of Socrates?
