The feeling of being stupid and knowing better
When I walk through my hometown of Jičín and pass its churches, I do not feel reverence; instead, I observe evidence. I move between the medieval church from the 13th or 14th century and the newer church from the 1600s; together, they form a continuous record of how humans once explained reality. These buildings do…

Argument from authority, the grossly misused argument
People quote Einstein, Newton, or Hawking as if their words alone decide what is true. “Einstein said it,” “Newton proved it,” “Hawking confirmed it.” But this is not reasoning. It is worship. The argument from authority is one of the most misused fallacies in human history. It gives the illusion of knowledge while replacing investigation…

The biggest loser of all time? God!
God is praised as the creator of everything. The almighty ruler. The ultimate source of love, goodness, and order. Yet His track record tells a different story. If we judged Him by the world He built, He would be the biggest loser of all time. The planet He supposedly governs has been soaked in blood,…

How banking replaced religion as global power
For centuries, religion ruled the human mind. It shaped laws, justified wars, and promised salvation in exchange for obedience. Priests and monarchs shared the same throne. Then science and reason broke faith’s monopoly. Yet power never disappears—it only changes form. When religion began to decline, another faith quietly rose to replace it. This time, it…

God cannot think
The idea that God can think sounds simple, but it collapses the moment you look deeper. Thinking means moving from not knowing to knowing, from confusion to clarity. Humans think because they lack knowledge. God, however, is said to know everything—past, present, and future. If his knowledge is complete, he cannot think, because thinking means…

God’s will is unknowable, making it meaningless
The phrase “God’s will” has guided billions across centuries. It is invoked to justify wars, defend peace, comfort the grieving, and control the living. Yet when examined closely, the concept collapses. If God’s will is unknowable, then it is meaningless. No one can claim to know what divine will truly entail. People may associate it…

God foresees everything. But wait a minute, he just can’t
Religions teach that God sees everything—past, present, and future. The claim sounds comforting. It promises order in chaos and purpose in suffering. Yet it hides a fatal flaw. If God truly foresees everything, then the future is fixed. And if the future is fixed, neither God nor humans can change anything. Divine foreknowledge collapses into…

There must be God, little, extremely limited
The old God is dead. The personal God of the churches fell under the weight of science. The deist God of philosophers fell under the blows of reason. Yet the word “God” never vanished. Too many people cannot let go of it. Instead, they cut it down. They stripped it of power, personality, and transcendence…

Even some not so intelligent people don’t believe in God
Disbelief in God is often treated as a mark of superior intelligence. People imagine scientists, philosophers, or brilliant skeptics tearing down arguments of faith. But reality is not that simple. Even some not so intelligent people do not believe in God. They did not arrive there through complex reasoning. They reached it by relying on…

Theory of mind and God: deists vs. scientists
Isaac Newton died with firm conviction that there is God given complexity or world and universe. But he had lived hundreds years before we had the scientific fact that we see complexities as bias because of our Theory of mind. So what is the fight about Theory of mind and God, and respective camps of…
