The Rationalist: Thoughts about onam
http://therationalviewpoint.blogspot.com/2010/08/thoughts-about-onam_27.html
In search of the truth! Friday, August 27, 2010. Just to share a few thoughts that came to me this onam. But that is not what I was going to talk about. But may be because of the 'poor' onam I had this year, I was starting to think what this ONAM was all about? So I think 'who makes these 'days' for us to celebrate? Similar is the case of the friendship day. Is it a day to celebrate friendship? It must be a hell of a place! August 27, 2010 at 10:35 AM. Thoughts make us creep into realities.i got a ch...

The Rationalist: The Great Prayer Experiment
http://therationalviewpoint.blogspot.com/2010/09/great-prayer-experiment.html
In search of the truth! Monday, September 20, 2010. The Great Prayer Experiment. Before going further, lets define prayer. Wiki says:. Galton looked into it, and found no statistical difference. And also when he prayed over randomized plots of land to see if the plants would grow any faster -they didn't! The Great Prayer Experiment. It will be no surprise that this study was opposed by theologians. The Oxford theologian Richard Swinburne, writing after the study. Just because they were part of a study, w...

The Rationalist: Jathaka dosham
http://therationalviewpoint.blogspot.com/2011/02/jathaka-dosham.html
In search of the truth! Friday, February 25, 2011. Lately one of my friends had to give up a good relationship she had, just because her 'jathakam' did not match. Moreover, the 'jyothishan' said that she had 'chovva dosham' and that she cant find matches easily. Both the families did not want to take risks by ignoring the words of the 'scholar'. So they decided to part! Now she is in trouble to find another guy with a similar 'chovva dosham' as her perfect match! Till now she has not found him. Good one&...

The Rationalist: "God said man needs doctors"?
http://therationalviewpoint.blogspot.com/2011/10/god-said-man-needs-doctors.html
In search of the truth! Wednesday, October 12, 2011. God said man needs doctors"? If there is God, why do we need doctors? If it is God who controls our health, if it is he who decides when we should fall ill, and when we should survive and when we die, do we have the ability to over-ride his decision? Why should we waste time in going to a doctor when things have already been decided? Or is it just 'another wise man' or something). When you fall ill, you never accept it as God's curse do you? You desper...

The Rationalist: Charles Darwin himself believed in God?!!
http://therationalviewpoint.blogspot.com/2011/02/this-feb-12th-marked-202nd-birth.html
In search of the truth! Thursday, February 17, 2011. Charles Darwin himself believed in God? This Feb 12th marked the 202nd birth anniversary of Charles Darwin. This day is celebrated world-wide as Darwin day, a day for science and reason. Also further evidences from fossils. Its wonderful how further evidences from studies by other scientists in the later years neatly fit into his theory, further reinforcing its possibility to be true. Now if Charles Darwin proposed such a theory that doesn’t requ...

The Rationalist: Pascal's Wager
http://therationalviewpoint.blogspot.com/2011/01/pascals-wager.html
In search of the truth! Monday, January 17, 2011. Blaise Pascal, the famous french mathematician, who made the pascals adding machine, an early predecessor of the modern computer, once suggested a wager (= a gamble, a decision we make when we are not sure, weighing all. About our belief in god - what we call the Pascal's Wager. His suggestion goes something like this -. Now let me ask - what if the God you are believing is not the Real GOD? Or the greek god Zeus? You all will burn in hell! Poor intellige...

The Rationalist: Nobody truly believes in God
http://therationalviewpoint.blogspot.com/2010/11/nobody-truly-believes-in-god.html
In search of the truth! Tuesday, November 16, 2010. Nobody truly believes in God. This is a challenge. Here I prove that theists don’t really believe in God. They just pretend to. Be it you, your parents, the priests or even the pope himself! Before we move on, we need to clarify a few things. What is a believer? There is no actual measure of belief. One who believes the above described god exists, is a believer. One who does not , is an atheist! And it is these believers I am talking about! Now if someo...

The Rationalist: The Flying Spaghetti Monster
http://therationalviewpoint.blogspot.com/2010/09/flying-spaghetti-monster.html
In search of the truth! Monday, September 13, 2010. The Flying Spaghetti Monster. But it was created for something serious. It's the icon of a scientific argument, if only you can see through it. Http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying Spaghetti Monster. In Jan 2005,. Http:/ www.venganza.org/about/open-letter. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? As long as there is a 'natural' and 'possible' theory of evolution into which the evidences neatly fit in, a 'supernatural' theory of 'intelligent design' is not needed.

http://therationalviewpoint.blogspot.com/2010/11/atheism-bus-campaign.html
In search of the truth! Saturday, November 20, 2010. The Atheist Bus campaign. In October 2008, a campaign was started off in Britain, with the official support of British Humanist Association and Prof. Richard Dawkins, aimed at spreading peaceful messages about atheism on public buses. The campaign's original goal was to raise £5,500 to run 30 buses across London for four weeks early in 2009 with the slogan: "There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.". In Spain an advertising campa...
