The Origin of Life - Abiogenesis

It's been 55 years since the Miller-Urey Experiment, and science has made enormous progress on solving the origin of life. This video summarizes one of the best leading models. Yes there are others. Science may never know exactly how life DID start, but we will know many ways how life COULD start. Don't be fooled by creationist arguments as even a minimal understanding of biology and chemistry is enough to realize they have no clue what they are talking about.

ARTICLES - Why Our Labels Always Fail to Define Us

By Thomas Keane, Guest Contributor

A·the·ist (ā'thē-ĭst): noun, One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods.

Chris·tian (krĭs'chən): noun, (1) One who professes belief in Jesus as Christ or follows the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus. (2) One who lives according to the teachings of Jesus.

Which of these labels define me? Which of these labels define you? Does the fact that I went to church and Private Christian School for the majority of my life define me as a Christian? Does the fact that I no longer worship the god depicted in the bible or any other god define me as an Atheist? Can you be an Atheist and have doubts about the Theory of Evolution or the Big Bang?

INTERVIEWS - Jeff Swenson is a cartoonist and creator of Freethunk.net

1. Besides online publishing, have you gotten your comics published in print? What are some magazines and newspapers that have printed your work?

[Jeff Swenson] Yeah over the years I've gotten quite a couple of pieces printed. It's not hard to be printed, it's just hard to get paid to do it. I liked the Bounce Collection that came out of Australia which had my work in it along with several other creators. I've been published in The Door Magazine several times. Early on I was published in Atheist Magazine but for some reason they messed with my lettering and made one of my cartoons look "godawful" (if you'll forgive the expression).

REVIEWS - The Book of Jubilees; The Little Genesis, The Apocalypse of Moses

The Book of Jubilees; The Little Genesis, The Apocalypse of Moses

Translated by Joseph B. Lumpkin

Review by Derek Jones

Recently, I decided to read The Book of Jubilees as part of my ongoing effort to learn as much about different aspects of Christianity and Judaism as I can. So I put down my worn copy of God is not Great and ordered a couple of books from Amazon.com. The majority of my reading in 2007 was dedicated to Biblical criticism and apologetics. This year I want to switch things up, so I am going to begin with more obscure religious texts such as The Gospel of Judas, The Book of Enoch, The Gospel of Mary, etc.
