Seen here in visible light, the North American Nebula strangely resembles its namesake continent. Expanding our view to include infrared light, the dark dust lanes and concealed stars glow in red colors while the continental gas clouds shift to an ocean-like blue. Pushing entirely into the infrared spectrum, we see even more detail in the convoluted dust clouds.

The ultraviolet glow from massive young stars heats the gas and sculpts the dust clouds into fantastic shapes throughout this composite of visible and infrared light. The hot gas, rendered in blue, fills the spaces between the denser dusty regions that appear red.

This dramatic cluster of baby stars can only be found in infrared images. The stars are forming within dense dust filaments in the "Gulf of Mexico" region. The dusty cocoons around these protostars glow red in this expanded infrared view.

A similar, though smaller, filament of baby stars can be found nearby, in an area known as the Pelican Nebula. Picking out the red protostars is easy in the full infrared view.

Combining infrared data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope with light from other parts of the spectrum gives astronomers a more complete picture of star formation. Each different combination of observations provides more insight into how one generation of stars can give rise to the next.

Evolution is a done deal - The Atheist Experience #676

"thank you for calling Corey, that was actually kind of fun." ROFL... To all the morons out there: Science is not a religion. The difference? Science is based on evidence and experience and takes little to know faith whatsoever. Religion tends to be based on a single book, or grouping of scrolls written BEFORE MOST OF HUMANITY COULD READ THEM!!!!"

Conclusive, Scientific Proof Of God... Fail - Atheist Experience 568

Dawkins talks about this very thing in one of the books he wrote. I don't recall which, but I would guess the God Delusion. The best analogy I can think of for this guy's reasoning is "1+1 does not equal 5 so 1+1 MUST equal 3"

The Giant's Shoulders

--This video is worth putting on live TV world wide. I can post it around, but it needs far more.

There is NO Holy Land

--I miss my old house. I loved living there, and did so for 18 years. If I went there and said get out, I'm taking it back, I'd be laughed at and possibly locked up. The whole idea of a holy land is fucking ridiculous anyway, And anyone who spills blood on a place they consider holy... is a fucking retard, and deserves endless ridicule.

Thunderf00t - TheThinkingAtheist Interview




--My thoughts (sorry, but very random thoughts...) pertaining to this video;

So there was no judgement day, and jesus did not come back to damn the world to hell. Well,... he didn't return, but he was apparently crucified again... by himself... First,

when talking about the premade holes in his hands... two words come to mind: "Fucking owww!!!!"...then two more... "bloody moron!". If jesus did exist, and was crucified,

there were no holes in his hands. Caluses, but no holes. The holes would have been in his wrists. Personally, I'm not convinced they used nails anyway, rope would be easier

and less messy.

As far as Mr. Camping, I only have one thought... "Bwahahahaha!"....ok, maybe two... I think he's awesome!! Not only did he make all of christianity look like fools

(including those who didn't believe him...or said so anyway...), but he also spent millions of christian dollars on NOTHING. A whole bunch of christians are slightly less

powerful now because they gave their money to him, and he spent it on the equivilent of an april fools joke!!! ROFL!! Not only that, but some even started giving their stuff

away because they really believed it!!!

Thunderfoot.... He explained that he got his handle from playing capture the flag in Unreal Tounament online. He said that it Thunderfoot sounded like his was a fast runner.

No.... LIGHTNINGfoot is a fast runner. THUNDERfoot is someone who can't sneak to save his life because it sounds like he's wearing clogs... just a thought...lol

What he said about Coughlan was ass backwards. For staters, I do not doubt that Coughlan started the fued between them. Let's face it, he even calls himself The Dick. And

yes, as a comic, Coughlan know how to get a laugh at the expence of others. However, Thunderfoot did his part to the best of his ability as well. The only times I've heard

Coughlan mention Thunderfoot, it's been because of something he thinks TF (let's make it easier, shall we?) said, and thought he shouldn't have, like Draw Muhammad

Day, or because TF said something about him that was disrespectful. It usually goes like this. TF insults Coughlan, Coughlan retorts, TF does not respond, Couphlan gets

irritated, and tries again, and still gets no response. As far as Coughlan trying to stir up shit with other Youtubers,... sometimes, maybe, but usually he just gives his remarks

on other videos like every other YouTuber out there. And he does tend to play devils advocate. He won't choose a side, if both are in the wrong.

Talking to the first caller, TF mentions that division among Atheists has a negitave impact on Atheism in general. That is where he differs from most of the Atheists I know.

Atheism and Rationalism is ABOUT division. It does not mean we have to hate each other, but we need to have out own opinions after sorting through the information. We

don't have to come out left, or right, we just need our own opinion. He himself talks about that specifically when talking about creationists vs evolution. He speaks about

creationists befrauding people by saying something is either created or conjured by chance, and there is no other option. Well... the same goes for pretty much everything in

life, and Rationalists especially need to remember that. We can't all take a single side. If we did, science would never be where it is today.

And for my last thought... Someone told a story of how their mother cut contact because they wouldn't let her preach to their daughter. I have actually thought of this quite a bit. I am from a family of Born Agains. I, obviously, am an Atheist. When I have a child, it WILL NOT grow up a theist of any sort. No one from my family will be allowed to preach to it ever. It is likely that certain members, at least one, will say that I have no choice but to let them. It is sad, because I do care about every member of my family, but I WILL break ties to anyone who defies that rule, no matter how much I care for them. Just because they don't know any better does not mean I will have to let it happen. When my child reaches an age where it wishes to choose, I will give it my blessing, regardless of which path it takes, but it will not be the choice of those closest to it.

This is a follow up to the video "Draw Muhammad Day", posted on May 20th 2010. In this video I address a few points I kept seeing being made in the comment section of the original post. Unfortunately, this video was a little rushed and I didn't have time to go back and fix a couple glitches in the audio/video, as well as correct some grammatical errors. But hopefully the arguments are sound and you enjoy the production. Thank you!

Why All The Anti-Evolution?

Uploaded by ONESPECIES on May 15, 2011

Please share this video with religious people, and mainly with the anti-evolution audience.

When it comes to Anti-Evolution groups among the religious, there are many alleged causes. Some popular views on this issue are that its a conflict of Dogma with Fact, that its a remnant of the old battle between Religion and Science, or that it is a problem of ignorance. Without denying any other proposed cause, I present in this video my views on the deep causes of the Anti-Evolution rhetoric.

Watching at HD 720P will improve your viewing experience.

If you are a religious person denying Evolution please watch the video and consider the points made carefully.
If you are Atheist or Religious but accept Evolution, I would like you to consider separating the Salesmen of bankrupt ideas from their followers, and treat each one according to their intent and responsibility, not their factual errors.

Are we understanding Anti-Evolution enough to stop it as a phenomenon?

In this video, we examine some of the silly Christian catchphrases that Christan's love to parrot, and we take a closer look at what their words actually mean.

Want your very own "Untarded" shirt? Well it's your lucky day! I will be hand painting a limited number of T-shirts in exchange for donations. The minimum donation is $30. That includes shipping to anywhere in the Continental United States. All donations go to support my channel, which allows me to spend more time working on videos and spreading the message of atheism. I will be painting them on a first come, first serve basis, except for those donating more than $30. The higher the donation, the higher your name will be in the queue and the quicker you'll receive your shirt.

Not only do you get to support a very good cause, but you get a one of a kind unique piece of art. There will never be two exactly the same. Each shirt is hand painted, from scratch, by Dusty Smith personally. I start with a high quality blank T-shirt. I get them from Old Navy. I chose a very good quality of shirt to paint on so they will last forever. We mix our own special blend of fabric paints that should be very durable. You can wash these shirts like you would any shirt, or you can hang it on your wall as artwork if you prefer. I will autograph these at the bottom of the shirt upon request.

Shirts are not painted until you order them, so I literally custom make each one specifically for you. You simply donate $30 or more, tell me the size you need, the color of the shirt you want, and the "Theme" you would like me to paint. I'll do the rest. So what are you waiting on? Support the Cult today!

Discovering Religion: Ep 20 - Secular vs. Biblical Morality

Uploaded by DiscoveringReligion on May 2, 2011

The twentieth installment of my original series, "Discovering Religion". This episode begins the miniseries on morality by comparing and contrasting concepts like subjective/objective and secular/biblical moralities. Now that we have exposed God's true moral nature and found our sense of right and wrong comes from somewhere outside the Bible, we can begin to explore the possible evolutionary origins of morality and how science informs our shared principles of conduct. Christians and other monotheists absolutely HATE the idea that morality can be based in science and I am very much looking forward to producing these episodes. However, please note my videos are extremely time-consuming to produce and unfortunately I do not have a lot of free time. I try make videos as often as I can, so I hope everyone understands why such time passes between episodes. Thank you all for your support of this series, I very humbled by all the attention my channels has been getting recently. I very much appreciate your interest in what I have to say!
