  • Reaction to Creationist Pseudoscience: "Evolution is a Fact - Debunked"
    Sep 20 2025

    Here I respond to another pseudoscience video, this time by an American religious apologetics ministry called Reasons For Hope. These two men come across as warm and likeable and are quite talented wordsmiths, but as is so often the case their science is woefully inadequate and misinformed. Like much American apologetics they recite the incorrect mantras of Intelligent Design verbatim without any idea of how wrong it is. The desire to pit science against religion is unnecessary and a false endeavour.


    I share a little bit from my own research as well as a few observations of what creationist pseudoscience all has in common.

  • Polymath World # Episode 20 - BRITISH INTERPLANETARY SOCIETY
    Sep 17 2025

    Polymath World # Episode 20 - BRITISH INTERPLANETARY SOCIETY


    I interview former president of the British Interplanetary Society, Alistair Scott, about the history and work of the oldest space advocacy group on the planet. BiS has been active for almost a century, founded by the legendary Arthur C. Clarke. As meetings, research and publications grew, BiS was discussing moon landings 30 years before Apollo even happened. Today BiS continues to bring together and publish world-leading research on human spaceflight and exploration of the universe. Alistair tells us about its origins, growth and all that happens today. We hope you will be inspired and consider joining this historic organisation and pursuing the cause of human space exploration.
