No Time Like the Present

I am happy to announce that I (along with this show) have been selected as one of PresenTense NYC’s 2014 Fellows!

What is PresenTense, you ask? Good question! PresenTense is an intensive series of workshops designed to give the tools and resources required to make big things happen to people doing cool things in the Jewish community. So, expect big things from the other 2014 Fellows and some very exciting expansion to OMGWTFBIBLE this year!

Childhood Science Hero to Debate Creationist Dude

TOPIC: “Is creation a viable model of origins?”

TIME AND PLACE: Kentucky Creation Museum, February 4

DEBATERS: Bill “The Science Guy” Nye VS. Ken “Can I Have Some More” Ham

THE GRUDGE:

Bill Nye posted this video 2 years ago (that’s 2012! 2012 is 2 years ago now!), arguing that teaching creation to children probably isn’t the best way to produce new, well-informed scientists.

Ken Ham responded with this video, in which he asks questions even I can answer like “What does engineering have to do with engineering?” (their use of the scientific method as a process for divining the best truth we can find). During the debate, he claims he’ll “show Mr. Nye and our debate audience that observational science confirms the scientific accuracy of the Genesis account of origins, not evolution.” Good luck with that!

Anyway. I hope this streams!

See A Play I Wrote

This is not in any way OMGWTFBIBLE or religion or anything-related, but I wrote a play! It is called “The Last Days of the Crossdressers’ Mafia” and it will be part of the TinyRhino short play festival tomorrow, December 17. Come see it! It will be funny! It will involve crossdressing! It will be at 8PM at Littlefield in Brooklyn (that’s 622 Degraw Street).

Pope Francis Continues to Be Awesome

Pretty much every day recently, I am shocked to discover that I still like Pope Francis. Yesterday, he released an Apostolic Exhortation urging the world to reject “the new idolatry of money” and calling on the rich to turn back mounting inequality and help the poor. Cool!

It included very capitalist-unfriendly passages like this one: Continue reading
