A former 40 year Atheist analyzes Atheism, without resorting to theism, deism, or fantasy. *** If You Don't Value Truth, Then What DO You Value? *** If we say that the sane can be coaxed and persuaded to rationality, and we say that rationality presupposes logic, then what can we say of those who actively reject logic? *** Atheists have an obligation to give reasons in the form of logic and evidence for rejecting Theist theories.

An Oddity
As of the last post the blog had 1,234 posts, a simple ordinal progression. If that took 4 1/2 years to produce, how long will it take to reach the next ordinal in the series? Show your work.
16.20583468 years
ReplyDeleteIf the next in the ordinal progression is 12345, then the equation would be:
ReplyDeletex/12345 = 4.5/1234
and
x = (4.5 * 12345)/1234
so
x = 45.0182 years
The time from now would be:
t = (45.0182 - 4.5)
t = 40.5182 years.
Oh well, I thought it was 5678...
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I think you have a great blog and hope you keep it up.
Maybe one day you'll expand on your post regarding the mathematics of reason. (When you're not counter-punching with the atheists.)
