Hi everyone, I'm Rob. I am Environmental science [Murdoch Uni] and Arts Graduate [uni of Western Australia]. Main interests these days evolutionary theory in particular and biology and science in general. Also interested in the philosophy of science, but not much of a fan of post-modernist interpretations of things, especially of the radical type. What else, I'm an old fart. I get a certain puerile enjoyment out of de-bunking creationism and pseudosciences. I was a Moderator on the old RDF forum site before it folded, and can now be found at places like RatSkeps, the AFA forum, Talk Rational and the like. I am an atheist, because I think it is the only way that one can try to be a full-time "methodological rationalist" without being inconsistent and experiencing cognitive dissonance. Not that I am claiming to be a perfect rationalist-I am a human being, not a robot. But I find that the more one exercises one's rational skepticism, the easier it gets, and hopefully, one makes fewer mistakes. Certainly, many contradictions disappeared when I became an atheist. The God Hypothesis is a hard one to subject to destructive testing, given that there are so many moving goalposts. Even more strange that some claim god as an absolute fact. It seems to me that if one claims that god is real, then one is claiming omniscience, for only with total knowledge could you absolutely claim the existence or non-existence of god. Therefore any belief that god exists must be surely irrational. For who amongst us humans is omniscient? Good to meet you all.
