Happy National Day of Wishful Thinking

Happy National Day of Prayer!

Read some great take downs of this ridiculous day at Pharyngula, God is for Suckers (here and here), and Atheist Revolution. Here's a better way to spend the day: The National Day of Reason.

Temporal Perspective

An animated short about the evolution of man through the perspective of two rocks on a hillside. The movie is in German with English subtitles.

Eternal Life

Eternal life eligibility, according my daughter:

The only people who can live for ever are Santa and Jesus...and Mrs. Clause.

I laughed.

What? Santa can live forever. Who else brings all those presents?

We are reading about ancient Egypt civilization and their belief that they could live forever. Makes me wonder what will happen when she finally comes to the realization that Santa doesn't exist. Will she make the logical jump about Jesus? I can only hope.
