Serbian NT Podcast w Jurisic Nemanja interviewed me on versions (yes, versions!) of the #KCA ( the Kalam #CosmologicalArgument for #God ). In ~30 minutes we hit all the points of why all are desperate attempts to salvage an #argument irreparably broken at its core. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Rw7...

Having a good time at Revival of Reason in Atlanta, celebrating Black NonBelievers of Atlanta’s 15th anniversary. It’s also streaming live now! #RoR2026 blacknonbelievers.org/revival-of-r...

Thorough analysis of the evidence for how much #ancientliterature was lost. Converges on > 98% & possibly > 99%. Can't rule out 99%. Can't claim under 98%. Some 100,000 books thrown away across all genres. www.richardcarrier.info/archives/41852 #lostbooks #darkages #christianity #churchhistory

Reminder! I'll be at the #RevivalofReason by #BlackNonbelievers in #Atlanta in June, Fri & Sat. Not speaking or tabling. Just attending. But say hi & chat, or ask how to get a book signed. Great speakers with unique specialties. Come & support the event! blacknonbelievers.org/revival-of-r...

My new go-to for why scientific #atheism won the argument against #christianity & the rest is just evasion. I get to the essence of what we're arguing about, split the bullshit away from the real debates & then show those all point away from Christianity. www.richardcarrier.info/archives/41899

I call bullshit on the #science trend to claim #consciousness even in #fungus #plants #bacteria & #AI I explain the difference between #awareness #intelligence #consciousness & #selfconsciousness & what #computational resources are needed to achieve each. www.richardcarrier.info/archives/41751

Live in c. 2hrs! Tired of #undesignedcoincidences ? You know, the dumb #19thcentury idea that the #Gospels didn't know each other but proved they're consulting #EyewitnessTestimony instead, ergo #jesus rose from the dead? Join us! #biblestudy on #ModernAtheism www.youtube.com/live/8iDzf2F...

On the Internet Infidels show again! On how #christianity has made the #AdamAndEve story illogical & even in its original #folktale #trickster narrative intent, the original authors were morally immature. Plus role of #freewill in all this. An interesting 40 minutes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7zW...

Join us in an hour! We'll be live, discussing the "stylometrics" of amateurs Brett & Wingo in Christ Before Jesus claiming to prove the entire New Testament was forged. The math actually proves the opposite, a problem for even actual experts like Livesey & Vinzent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sf6...

Mark Bilby, advocate of Marcionite priority (that more or less the entire NT came from or post-dates Marcion), claims to have proved NT authors used late second century sources. I found serious flaws and failings you need to be aware of. www.richardcarrier.info/archives/41567 #Marcion #Bible

I explore the last 3 objections to #jesus #mythicism that aren't stupid but based on sound intuitions it actually surprised me to find fell apart: less dumb versions of the "how so fast," "who'd invent a criminal," and "looks like a family dynasty" arguments. www.richardcarrier.info/archives/41406

If you want to hear an actual intelligent conversation about why #secularhumanism is the best #worldview for society, with actual informed pushback and no rhetoric (unlike last year), check out the Canadian Podcast for Inquiry show I just did: www.youtube.com/watch?v=utcx... #philosophy #politics

How to respond to #Christians arguing #quantummechanics proves #God because he's "the observer" that explains why the universe existed before we were around to observe it. Covers things often misunderstood about #quantum #physics well worth referring folks to. www.richardcarrier.info/archives/41331

I'm live tonight! With #GodlessEngineer & #PeterDiGangi discussing "why on Earth" Christians would believe in a celestial Jesus & then turn him into an earthly one. Gets into the #politics of the #JesusMyth in Judea & the fads of #popculture in #AncientHistory &tc. www.youtube.com/live/7VtXRc8...

So. Trump promises to end the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by blockading the Strait of Hormuz. Is that what just happened? So, what? Is he now going to end tariffs by raising tariffs and release the Epstein files by blocking the release of the Epstein files...? Oh. Ah. I see what happened there.

I want to name a new fallacy: The Guru Fallacy. I've seen it a lot. The attached image mocks some real examples I personally had argued at me in the last few years (most weren't literally so argued, but in elaborate fashion argued something very similar). #newfallacy #philosophy #gurufallacy

I'll be on #GodlessGranny the day before #Easter discussing how we know the Easter tales in the #Gospels are bogus. We may as well celebrate Dionysus rescuing Semele from the Underworld and arguing over what color hat he wore. Come join us! Bring your questions! www.youtube.com/live/c18rNMC...

As #Christian #apologetics gets dumber, so do defenses of the #historicity of #Jesus as witnessed in the embarrassing travesty of archaeologist Ken Dark's 7-page (!) defense against those dastardly #mythicists & their #blasphemous #JesusMyth #mythicism www.richardcarrier.info/archives/40833

I am officially deleting my Twitter / X. I explain why on Facebook (www.facebook.com/share/p/17KC...). But I'm announcing it here for the record. I also gave my thoughts there about an archaeological find claiming ancient machineguns---I say, ancient shotguns (www.facebook.com/share/p/1BjF...).

Now in one place: everything I think about the historicity of #Nazareth & its relation to #Jesus including a review of Ken Dark's latest work on the #archaeology (I cover the #textual evidence). My one-stop-shop for this #history of the #bible topic: www.richardcarrier.info/archives/40659

The world consists of "information" & scientists are constantly talking about how everything is "information" & since "information" can only be a mental concept, it has to come from God. Nope. www.richardcarrier.info/archives/39230 #philosophy #lawsofnature #information #creationism

So, Trump just re-hired Kristi Noem as Joseph Goebbels. And then hired Senator Mullin as Heinrich Himmler. That's what just happened today? www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n... ( FYI, this is Shield of America: www.ice.gov/hsi/outreach... And this was the SS: encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a... )

I'm live tomorrow on Jorge Guerra Pires's show, a Brazilian scientist, discussing how #scientific we can make #moral knowledge. And we'll be somewhat critical of Sam Harris's efforts to do that, addressing what he's missing. #morality #science #moralphilosophy #philosophy #SamHarris
