The plan is to distribute specially written copies of The Origin of Species which include a creationist introduction that slanders of Darwin (including attempts to blame Nazism on him) and creationist “refutations” of the theory to 50,000 college students on the upcoming 150th anniversary of the book’s first publication. In protest I will be burning [...]

No Comments »New Disclaimer
September 17th, 2009 Daniel Fincke I was reading BlagHag yesterday and she came out with a new disclaimer about her website, which I felt really strongly about. So strongly, that I’ve decided to add a comparable one to Camels With Hammers. Please read the disclaimer carefully and let me know Your Thoughts.

September 16th, 2009 Daniel Fincke Qualia Soup’s first new video in months (and it’s terrific as usual). He takes apart entirely the notion that we can have knowledge of anything supernatural. Your Thoughts?
A Fire Hose Of Atheist Philosophy
September 16th, 2009 Daniel Fincke That’s how our friend Vorjack of Unreasonable Faith fame characterized Camels With Hammers yesterday. Made my day. If we ever have promotional materials that’s going in there. But today of course was more like a faucet that out of the blue drops one random droplet all day. I had no internet access and was swamped [...]

September 15th, 2009 Daniel Fincke Biblical scholar and professor emeritus at the University of Sheffield, Philip Davies writes that the idea that religion bestows ethical value on human life is the most ridiculous thing he’s ever heard. First he lays into the divine command theory throughout the Torah and proverbs as genuine routes to proper (or even defensible) moral motivation [...]

Are The New Atheists The New Prophets?
September 14th, 2009 Daniel Fincke PZ Myers, a prominent “New Atheist” reports on his being designated a prophet: Michael Dowd, the peculiar author of Thank God for Evolution, has a strange podcast up that promotes the New Atheists because they are the new prophets — we’re telling it like it is, and religious folks need more of that. He also urges people [...]

September 14th, 2009 Daniel Fincke One last Kanye thought for the morning, before I return to my work for the day. From Nietzsche in Thus Spoke Zarathustra part II, section 3, comes his prescription in a nutshell for how to be a Beyonce or a Barack rather than a Kanye or a Wilson: if we learn better to experience joy, we [...]

September 14th, 2009 Daniel Fincke This was more like it, Beyonce gives Taylor Swift her due: YouTube won’t let me embed it, but I can’t mention Beyonce without including the single most mesmerizingly sexy music video in the universe. It would be against Camels With Hammers law. And for my fuller examination of the class of Beyonce and the [...]

September 14th, 2009 Daniel Fincke This is abominable: In the below video (via Stereogum), watch in horror as the “Guitar Hero” Cobain belts out Flavor Flav ad-libs, Dave Mustaine giggle-rants, Billy Idol come-ons, and Jon Bon Jovi exhortations.

September 13th, 2009 Daniel Fincke So last night, Kanye proved once and for all that he has no class through a single action which demonstrated an unbelievable lack of grace.

In celebrating the new Ingrid Michaelson, I also wholeheartedly recommend this amazing cover of Ingrid’s song “The Chain” which tops even Ingrid’s original on my facebook friend Melissa Reyes’s myspace page and select “The Chain”. Seriously, her voice and self-harmonization is just staggeringly good [...]
Disambiguating Faith: Faith As Tradition’s Advocate And Enforcer, Opposed To Merely Provisional Forms Of Trust
September 12th, 2009 Daniel Fincke David appeals to MacIntyre to raise a really interesting question: What is your assessment of faith as the starting point of tradition constituted inquiry as understood by MacIntyre? This is accepting the standards of argument, explanation, justification internal to and partially constitutive of the extended argument that constitutes what MacIntyre calls a tradition. In this [...]
