With regards to the 2012 dooms day prophecy

There used to be a hype with regards to the 2012 apocalypse prophecy (along with its variations).  Right now there are many websites that are dedicated to this absurd belief, which really is just a waste of resources.

It is very hard for me to tolerate this irrationality reflected among many people. Whether it be a biblical prophecy or any other kind of medieval thinking, fantasy is fantasy, a myth is a myth. For people to actually believe, or regard something like a prophecy as trivial, is unacceptable. After hearing all these nonsense, one could not help but ask: What kind of education are we receiving?  

This phenomenon seems to indicate that there is a need for our schools (all kinds of schools, including religious schools) to set up a mandatory subject – critical thinking. We now live in the 21st century, all outdated ideas (possibly debunked) belong to history, or literature. I hope for the day to come wherein myths and fantasies would be appreciated by people as a form of entertainment, nothing more.

Just some thoughts on a debate between Richard Dawkins and John Lennox

I just finished viewing the debate named ‘Has Science Buried God?’ engaged by two prominent figures from the Atheist and Christian side namely Richard Dawkins and John Lennox.

The debate itself wasn’t conclusive to me, but it sure is entertaining and thought provoking. A few thoughts that I have now because of this (although definitely not mine exclusively) are:

*There are many things that science cannot answer at the moment.

*Proposing God as the answer to the presently unknown is absurd.

*A scientific approach on things is comparatively better than its alternative – religious approach.

*The thought that there is an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent conscious being that cares and has a personal relationship with me is comforting.

*Just because we would prefer to believe that there is a God and He loves us, doesn’t in any sense make Him any more real.

Unfortunately, I am not well acquainted with internet etiquette. And I am simply just too lazy to search on how to credit online media on a blog site so consequently, I won’t be able to post the video that I watched (safely). But I believe you can easily look it up (the video) at YouTube.com just search for ‘Has Science Buried God’, the video should be at roughly an hour and twenty minutes long. 🙂

Dazzlers: Cherry Blossoms Light Up!

Just beautiful! Nature can be so lovely isn’t it?

Steamboat Friday

Head to Taiwan in February and visit the Aborginal Cherry Blossom Festival to experience the dazzling magic created by these beautiful cherry blossom trees at night. The technique is called “Light Carving”, which involves placing lights of varied colors and brightness across all the cherry blossoms to create this spectacular treat for your eyes.

Introduction

I am a free thinker and I encourage intellectual, rational, logical dialogues and debates (because I am particularly interested in arguing on topics mainly philosophy, religion, politics, and society). 

My blogs can be random at times, something you would expect while using Twitter. 🙂

In relation with the Connecticut shooting 12/15/12

In relation with the Connecticut shooting which happened just recently,

I don’t think that – 

     *asking “Where is God?” is an appropriate question.

     *it is logical to blame any undesirable event to God or any other embodiment of thought.

Another thing is, there are people who depend on their belief just to cope up with everyday life. The families of the victims of this tragic event MAYBE practitioners of Christianity and certainly this is not the appropriate time to challenge their faith. Some people cling on religion during harsh times and it works for them, we should not take them away from their comfort.
