2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $8765.50Goal: $10000

I am reading... and I am liking. This is high-quality analysis of poop jokes right here. Yep. --Ζωροάστρης 01:50, 27 November 2007 (EST)

That kind of scatological insight is what comes with a well-rounded home-skollarin' edumacation (well, not really, but it'd be funny if it did)--Bayesupdate 02:39, 27 November 2007 (EST)

I heard rumors that Samson refers to the sun, Beit Shemesh also refers to the sun, Delilah somehow refers to the moon, and therefore the story of Samson and Delilah is an allegory for the moon chasing away the sun for the night. Probably from The Secret Origins Of The Bible by Tim Callahan. Any comments? --206.248.164.211 (talk) 14:20, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Chariots of Iron[edit]

Would the statement about a Bronze Age tribe encountering an Iron Age one be 'an actual Biblical fact' in the mix of fact, factually based material, philosophy, theology 'and everything else' in the Bible-and-associated-books?

And is the statement an example of God's envy of a deity with access to better resources? Anna Livia (talk) 10:14, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
