I have always admired C.S. Lewis with the respect due to a loyal opponent. He certainly wasn’t a mystic Christian, but he was no mindless fundamentalist. Although an apologist for a state religion I cannot c […]

Right on, Giordano! Today’s NASA announcement that 7 Earth-sized planets are in orbit around TRAPPIST-1 is yet another confirmation of what Giordano Bruno believed, and died for: that ours is one of infinite Suns, many with planets that might support life. Coming just 5 days after we marked the anniversary of his heretic-death-by-fire, we should…[Read more]

This is of particular interest to me. Cool, red dwarfs, especially relatively near by, are extremely good candidates for SETI searches. Mostly ignored due to a gap in observational technology, only rectified relatively recently, this type of star system is poised to become real headline makers in the years to come.

Remembering Giordano Bruno today…Bruno was burned at the stake on this day in 1600, after refusing to recant his belief that not only did the Earth revolve around the sun, but that the stars were suns as well, with planets around them. This didn’t sit well with the Church and the Roman Inquisitors. A reminder that brownshirts have always…[Read more]

I’ve been reading about desecularization. It’s scary stuff. I didnt find this in the literature but best I can tell secular people have turned to their government for the answers, look to the government to be their voice, because they have no healthy religious alternative.
