Fundamentally Fundamental about the Fundamentals of Fundies: Facepalms of Biblical Proportions
Despite loose usage of the term and the tossing about of its diminutive form, “fundamentalist” is not a pejorative: the word was invented by conservative Christians for purposes of self-identification and bears an exact meaning that has only secondarily to do with attitude. I’m well acquainted with the history of this word because it is my interesting fortune to have been raised in one of the small, fractious, separatist, backwater Christian sects that coined it around the tu

Problems on the Forefront of Physics – Part 2: Dark Matter and Dark Energy
The question “What is the universe made of?” is one of the most fundamental questions one could ask about reality, yet the lack of answers leads to one of the biggest problems in modern astrophysics and cosmology. It would first appear that the observable universe is chiefly composed of matter and energy, right? Well, that’s actually not true at all. Everything we can see, the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, every star and every galaxy in the sky, every atom and every photon of ene

Before you object, I would never stoop so low as to insult the magnificently gifted intellectual know as Steven Hawking, I am talking about the history of religion and its treatment of the innovative scientist.
