DUKE, South Carolina, ESPN, Rachel’s godmother, and many media outlets are racists in the sense that they prejudged and racially profiled those that they were different from. And we’re probably not going to get an apology from them. The church has come along way. The NAACP seems to be OK with Pres....

Kyler's education is in Psychology and includes a PhD in Experimental Psychology. So he'll have taken some stats. But it seems, just enough to be dangerous. I'm in the same field. Our stats training is typically and largely about ANOVA and regression families of analysis. Probably a near zero chanc...

Moving on, I found this comment by “tangata neneva” to be interesting: For integrating multiple lines of evidence, typically (at least in my world), a weighting process for each line of evidence is used to account for all the supporting factors a line of evidence might provide (confidence, study si...

Of course, at the end of the day, I don’t really care about that. What irks me is the misuse of these statements to validate things they can in no way validate. These witnesses did not have the knowledge or ability to authenticate ancient Native American Hebrew plates. They are spiritual witnesses ...

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that other missionaries have had similar experiences. I can respect your reported experience without understanding it. My most spiritual experience as a missionary was realizing it was all made up. Imagine looking up the French word for “disillusioned”. In your gree...

He had strong political beliefs. The fact that he was vehemently opposed to communism and its adherents, even on American soil, doesn’t mean that his words in regards to the Book of Mormon ought not to be taken seriously. Obligatory bad joke: you know who else had strong political beliefs and oppos...
