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: .

Updated Macroevolution FAQ on talkorigins.org
by skeptic2 injohn wilkins who writes a blog called the panda's thumb, has announced an updated version of the macroevolution faq on talkorigins.org.
the macroevolution faq is now in version 2. the original faq was a bit light on for discussion, and i wanted to deal with some technical issues.
it is not a comprehensive review of the concept, but of the meaning of the concept and a couple of philosophical issues it raises.

Why not a JW version of talkorigins.org?
by skeptic2 inafter seeing the latest 607 thread, i wonder whether it might be a good idea to start a site that collects this kind of information (if it doesn't already exist), similar to what talkorigins.org does for evolution.
maybe call it www.talkwitnesses.org or something... and it's purpose would be something like (adapted from talkorigins' description): .
the talk witnesses archive is a collection of articles and essays.

Just been knocked up with a DC invite (UK)
by skeptic2 inthe buzzer rang a moment ago and when i answered the intercom (i live in a flat) a voice said "we are two jehovahs witnesses come to invite you to a district convention".
i put the intercom down without saying anything.
they didnt bother to try again, but went on to the next number.. i kept an eye on them from my window (i can see the main door) and it seemed everyone in my building at least had the good sense to ignore them, no-one let them in.. this is the first time we have had jws knocking to my knowledge.
