I welcome feedback from anyone on anything I write, or even the way I write it. My purpose in writing is to better myself and increase my knowledge, find like-minded individuals, hone my power of thought, and perhaps as a pleasant side-effect, inspire other intelligent people.
If you would like to contact me (to arrange a press interview, get a photo, or perhaps a few autographs (four per credit card)), you can do so at evanescent AT mac.com.
Alternatively, please leave a comment below and I will respond.
All the best.

Hi Evanescent. I think you might enjoy this little mockumentary about an atheist preacher: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDZyEgx-0fc

Hi Evanescent. A while back you left a comment on my blog. I hope you forgive me that the “near future” has turned into several months – we have just finished moving across the country and finally have the internet again. Anyways, I intend to address the questions you raised as a series next week on my other blog Minds2Mentes, and would like to invite you to tune in.

When you post your article Krista, let me know and I’d be happy to come along and discuss ID vs Evolution.

Here’s what I have up so far:
Introduction
Defining the Terms
Is Intelligent Design an Intelligent Theory?
Is Evolution An Intelligent Theory?
Who Created God?
What About Bad Design?

Hi Krista,
I’ve read your articles and will post an article of my own in reply in the coming days. Keep checking back!

On your list of “My Best” there is “What is morality and what are rights”.
I would very much like to read it, but it seems that its link opens to “Abolish the Welfare State”.

Hi Cantuseo, thanks for pointing this out! I’ve corrected all the hyperlinks now! Thanks again.
cantueso said
Thank you for correcting that one so fast!

This easter Jesus Christ returns… as a CARTOON
http://www.jfcshow.com
Starting this Easter, The site will be host to the first ever JFC
episode. Until then check it out and throw down your opinions on our hassle free comment board.
In addition to new episodes of JFC every few weeks the site also
includes fan generated content, great video/news and other links and even more to come!
You’ll see why Bono is saying “Forget Africa, donate your money to JFC”
and why Christians are saying “You evil, sadistic bastards, you can’t make fun of our lord in such a blatant and highly realistic fashion!”
Spread the good word!

Although I don’t agree with most of your ideas I do appreciate your writing style. You are obviously an intelligent person an I would assume well educated. What is your “real” profession?
evanescent said
Hi Tanya, for a living my job is Buyer and Analyst.
As for my education, my education was not particularly brilliant, and I have Advanced Levels in Physics and Chemistry but no degree. Most of what I have learned has been through reading and writing. Given the current state of education in topics that I enjoy, such as education, I am glad that I have no “official” training in these matters. For that, I have Ayn Rand to thank.

Hi, “Evanescent” I just started reading your blogs a few weeks ago and am mighty impressed by them. Like you, I am a former “Humanist” turned Objectivist. Humanists often speak of advancing human rights, promoting human dignity, and eliminating poverty and oppression. These are worthy goals. However, some “Humanists” such as Paul Kurtz advocate methods which would result in the exact opposite of their intended results. For example, he recently defended the idea of progressive taxation and wealth redistribution. He wrote in his article that this is primarily an ethical issue and not an economic or political one. I fail to see how the forcible confiscation of one’s wealth can be termed “ethical”. We Objectivists know that the only way to reduce and/or eliminate poverty is via capitalism. If one believes that the way to economic growth is to seize and redistribute wealth, then we might as well admit that in order to get into shape and remain physically fit is to lay around on the couch all day and gorge ourselves on beer, ice cream and Cheese Doodles. Many of the professed goals of Humanism are quite worthy. However, many Humanists advocate methods of achieving them that are antithetical to their professed goals. I became and admirer of Ayn Rand and her Objectivist philosophy because there is no dichotomy between it’s professed goals and the methods for achieving them. I see Objectivism as a form of “Secular Humanism”-the best and finest expression of Secular Humanism that there can be-an expression far better than those of organizations that specifically refer to them selves as “Humanist”. Keep up the good work. Paul M. Kay

You put everything in perspective for me on your take of what justice should be given to the Lockerbie bomber.First off I was unsure why the Scottish Government released the bomber; thinking compassion just doesn’t sound right.I was looking for other reasons and I found a number of possible ones, but still couldn’t say for sure.
Finally I found your article. It taught me to read not only between the lines but to read everything.Maybe he could appeal to a higher power on the way down.
