More cross-posts

I have posted two things over on de-conversion this week, which was not intentional but just the way things go.  I had one thing I had been preparing in the background, about science, proof and religion.  It’s called The Thrill of Discovery and it maps my life from a young evangelical creationist (gulp, how embarrassing!) to a modern scientist who does not believe proof can be found for either the origins of life or the existence of God.  It was actually started in draft form before the recent hubbub over “Expelled” but I hadn’t gotten around to posting it until last night.  The other post is a direct copy/re-posting of my views on abstinence, originally published here  back in August when I first starting writing this blog.  In a funny coincidence, another writer had written something called “My abstinence education” on de-con and so I thought the follow-up repost was an interesting parallel–very different take on things.  I only mention it now because the subsequent discussions on both posts were pretty interesting.
