Aliens and Extraterrestrials – Why the Topic Actually Matters
0
Have I gone bonkers? Have I lost it?! Am I really about to talk about UFO’s and alien beings here on this website devoted to the highest calling of SCIENCE?! Well, yes, I am going to discuss that but I highly doubt I’m crazy in the slightest. More importantly: it makes more sense to address [...]

Anyone who has ever gone mountain climbing or spent the night on a beach away from the lights of any nearby cities knows – the night sky is beautiful. Back in 2008, I experienced several weeks where I was without electricity, without the security blanket of a nearby grocery store to supply me with food, [...]
Empiricism – More Than Only Observational Evidence
3
When we examine the scientific method, we are really invited to go beyond simply observing results in considering empiricism itself. That is, good rules of reasoning that allow us to actually know certain degrees of truth have more to do with how we reason through what we see in front of us using our five [...]
The Power of Logic

So far on this blog, I have covered rationality, empiricism, addressing the question of what science can prove, and the importance of good rules of reasoning in the Long Term Survival Model. Indeed, that is a lot of information to consider. But today, we’re going to talk about quite possibly one of the most important [...]

Why Learning About the ‘Law of Attraction’ is a Waste of Time!
71 year ago
Just about everybody has heard of the movie, The Secret, and I have talked to countless different people I know personally who are still raving about the idea of the Law of Attraction to this day. In fact, I heard about the film way before the majority of the public had when it had just [...]
Creating a Life Transformation From the Ground Up
11 year ago
Most people are unwilling to change. The reason for the static nature of people’s own personal resolutions is that once you perform a specific behavior for long enough, it becomes routine and when it’s routine: it’s predictable. Predictability creates comfort and comfort is pretty addicting. Of course, people that are serious about creating change in [...]

Many people have a misconception when it comes to the debate between intelligent design versus well, non-intelligent design (it almost does not matter what piece of science we are talking about), that there is still a debate to be had. In reality, there is nothing left to debate and there has not been for a [...]
