Proof of God
Transport yourself back in time six hundred years. Look up into the sky and see the sun. You don't know what it is but you know it gives off huge amounts of heat and light—enough to warm and illuminate the entire planet.
As you gaze at this celestial monster there is one thing you...

Let's do a thought experiment. I'll start by inventing a god, I'm going to call her Ninfinity. She is very beautiful and she will answer your prayers. Not every prayer though, she will first decide if you are deserving and if you really believe in her. If you are, she will definitely...

Viewing from a distance can often reveal things that cannot be seen close up. To gain a sense of perspective, it is interesting to look at our species, not for a few generations but for our entire existence.
The best evidence available suggests our species has roamed the earth for...

There is no corruption-free country in the world—every country experiences some level of corruption. But the huge differences in the level of corruption between countries is striking. This much is well known.
What is less well known is how corruption is related to religiosity—the...

Thales of Miletus
In a letter to Robert Hooke, written in February 1676, the great Isaac Newton wrote, "If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants."
Newton borrowed the expression from Bernard of Chartres who, more than 500 years earlier, remarked we...

The average human has an IQ of 100. The very smartest humans have IQs
hovering around the 200 mark. Those blessed with such talent can do things that
the rest of us can only marvel at.
Kim Ung-yong was born in 1962 in Seoul, South Korea. He began speaking
Korean by the age of four...

It was quite a stroke of luck for the Jews. Out of all the peoples in the entire world, the 12 small tribes of Israel were the chosen people—they were personally chosen by God, who created the entire universe some 13.8 billion years earlier.
As if that was not enough, God promised...

About Me
- Nildogma
- As a 20-year-old I was insatiably curious about the world and passionate about rejecting superstitions and all kinds of false beliefs. I still am today. Sometimes when people believe things that are not true, it make little or no difference but sometimes the consequences can be disastrous and deadly. Now, I do what I can to help people improve their thinking skills, especially in how they impinge on core beliefs, such as cultural values and religious beliefs. I have an active Facebook page for which I create memes and write articles almost daily. I also engage people in on-line debates. You can find me here: https://www.facebook.com/bill.flavell.1 I lecture at universities around the world and present or debate at public meetings. I also, draw on my management consultancy background to help freethought groups, almost anywhere in the world, to get organised, develop strategy and improve their media and presentation skills. If you would like me to present at your university or for your church group or freethought group, please contact me.
