L. Aron Nelson (born October 15, 1962), known professionally as Aron Ra, is the Texas state director of the American Atheists, host of the ''Ra-Men Podcast'', a public speaker, video producer, blogger, and vlogger. Born in Kingman, Arizona, Aron Ra was baptized as a Mormon. He says as a child he never saw himself as one, however, because he did not know enough about it or other religions to make a responsible choice about what to believe. He studied paleontology in Dallas.〔 Aron Ra is a critic of creationism, and promotes the teaching of science in Texas schools.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.yourhoustonnews.com/archives/evolution-debate-experiences-resurgence-in-texas/article_bb897707-3056-5d98-8757-a11a467e6bae.html )〕 Aron Ra has advocated for the inclusion of evolution in the Texas Science Textbook hearing. Aron Ra has spoken at Skepticon 6 (2013) and along with Matt Dillahunty, was in the 2014 documentary film ''My Week in Atheism'' by director John Christy.

He formerly blogged at Freethought Blogs as "Ace of Clades" with his wife, Lilandra. In 2015, they moved to the blogging network Patheos. He supports his activism through Patreon, which he has also used to start up the Phylogeny Explorer Project, the database design of which was done by Adrian Jerome Wright. == Personal == Aron Ra has a son. He met Lilandra on the discussion board Christian Forums, where Aron challenged creationists that if he "could prove to their satisfaction that evolution is essentially true, they would become an evolutionist." Lilandra accepted the challenge, and arranged a debate between Aron and a few Christian evolutionists on the one hand and several Christian creationists on the other, after which she accepted evolution. A while later she also lost her faith when she was unable to reconcile evolution and the Bible. Lilandra motivated Aron to become politically active as well. In 2009, Aron married Lilandra (who adopted 'Ra' as her pseudonymous family name). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aron Ra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
