Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science
by skeptic2 inhe has set up as foundation but with a slight difference: there are two, one in the us, and one the uk, with the same name, in order to make the most benefit from the tax-breaks that apply to charities.
i currently give from the uk to the center for inquiry in the us, it would be nice to give to a uk based organization and know they were getting more from my money.
mission statement/video is here: .

What is God???
by BlackSwan of Memphis inis god just a ball of energy hanging around?.
is god a spirit person as the jw's suggest?.
ok, so i realize that there are a large number of atheists here, of which group i am ever so slowly counting myself among, who would love to shout down the topic with 'there is no god".

Chicken, the Egg?, Creationist, the Evolutionist?
by skyking inthe thread re: did fossils make you doubt?
makes me laugh at the creationist because they have the same hurdle to over come as does the evolutionist do.
for the creationist can you tell me how god came from nothing?

What advice would you give newbies?
by BlackSwan of Memphis inok well, i started thinking.... when i was new here i made a lot of mistakes.
i'm sure i'm not the only one.. in fact, i think i'll got out on a limb and say, i still make mistakes .
one of the things i wish i would have 'known' then was there are so many personalities on discussion boards, let alone one where there are alot of injured souls and alot of questioning people, that it helps to be forgiving and understanding.

original sin and evolution creationists
by BlackSwan of Memphis inok i've been trying to understand this.... there are a good number of christians out there who most definitely believe that god used evolution as a means of creating us.
for instance, i am pretty sure that the catholic church accepts this idea.. if man came about by evolution, how does sin come into play?
at what point did man sin and how does the story of adam and eve fit into this picture?.

3.3 million old girl ?
by oldflame inlondon (reuters) - a 3.3 million-year-old skeleton of the earliest child ever found shows the ancient ancestor of modern humans walked upright but may also have climbed trees, scientists said on wednesday.
they found the well-preserved remains of a three-year-old girl of the species australopithecus afarensis -- which includes the fossil skeleton known as "lucy" -- in the dikika area of ethiopia, 400 kms northeast of the capital addis ababa.. "it represents the earliest and most complete partial skeleton of a child ever found in the history of paeleoanthropology," said dr zeresenay alemseged, of the max planck institute for evolutionary anthropology in leipzig, germany.. the skull, torso and upper and lower limbs, including the hand, show both human and ape-like features.
the state of the ancient bones suggest she was buried in a flood which may also have caused her death.. the remains provide the first evidence of what babies of early human ancestors looked like.
