Creationism
Evolution is not just a theory, it is also a fact as well. When Charles Darwin published his book “The Origin of Species” there were only fossils and their similarity to other fossils and current animals (and mutual geographic proximity). With precise dating of fossils, we now know the T-Rex fossils were founded in some…

Palestinians territories, the biggest open-air prisons on this planet
I would liken this to the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (Hitler’s regime in the nowadays Czech Republic) and ask things like: Why there is no foreign investment? Why do the Czechs not study at universities? Why there are no entrepreneurs? Why do the Czech people not work? Why do the Czechs not study? Why…

My view of anti-Semitism
Anti-Semitism is a terrible scourge. It led to pogroms, the holocaust and other injustices to the Jewish people. However, it is true that Jewish people are extremely able in all aspects of the socioeconomic spectrum. The richest family on this planet is Jewish. They have significant influence based on clientelism over the United States. I…

Our high intelligence gives us an opportunity to be so wrong
Imagine duck or dog believing in God. They can’t. They are not smart enough. But they also don’t possess cognitive biases, formal fallacies and critical thinking. Our brilliant intelligence possesses a dark side. If you or I were willing to devote the time for it, we would invent 10 000 religions with completely different explanations…

Is there a mathematical system on how to predict foreign policy?
If there is, it is surely not public because we would know about it. Historians absolutely detest mathematics, so we can only use factor analysis in the study of history. Causes and consequences in history are on the level of gossips. Why did WW1 or WW2 begin? We don’t know. Of course, some of the…

Such kind of research was done by Nazis, therefore prohibited now
Nationalism is a kind of plague itself and modern nation-states are obsolete, dangerous and detrimental to mankind’s well-being. We should put emphasis on what we have in common, not exploring if the Northern Germans look different from the South Germans. I am not definitely saying the prime academic research should lie in exploring skulls or…

Does your atheism offend people? Go and live in the Czech Republic, France or Denmark
Being an atheist is very problematic in the United Arab Emirates, Iraq or Iran. And what about the oldest democracy? Yes, count it as one. Being a gay president is much better than being an atheist president. And you can be sure there have been covered-presidential atheists. If you are a non-believer and come out…

Different nationalities, different races, different languages, different religions. Why not to kill each other?
Post-colonial Africa suffers from artificial borders that their occupiers made without regard to ethnicity, religion, or nationality. This really didn’t reduce all the violence. But genocides, wars and ethnic cleansing are not just African specialties. People speak different languages, are of different nationalities, different races, and their religions also differ. So why not to kill…

Even if we had free will
As you may know, I don’t believe in anything as free will. The brain is either deterministic or inter-deterministic and this leaves no place for free will. Every neuron impulse is determined by the previous one. For example, when you choose what ice cream to buy, it may by decision of hundred of neurons you…
