atheism:<br /><br />"<a href="http://mimble-wimble.blogspot.com/2007/08/adeism.html">A-Deism</a>: the certainty that supernatural beings or forces <em>neither</em> exist <em>nor</em> could interfere with the physical realm without becoming part of the physical. Although concepts of supernatural beings or forces exist, neither these conceptualizations themselves nor personal belief in the conceptualizations constitutes <em>evidence</em> for ascribed existence of a supernatural agency.<br /><br />A-Deism is based on logical analysis of relevant physical and psychological evidence and does not itself constitute a religion. Critical A-Deistic analysis holds that it is neither necessary nor rational to evoke supernatural pseudo-explanations for the origin of the universe (cosmology), the origin of life on Earth (abiogenesis), or biological complexity (evolution). Further, death marks the end of conscious life, so adeists have neither the expectation of eternal life nor any fear of eternal damnation."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203123464890227642-7258386892908386951?l=neologica.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Arcanumnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203123464890227642.post-35825076010203581352007-12-20T23:08:00.000-05:002007-10-20T17:46:19.543-04:00T.

There is <em>nothing new</em> about atheism in so far as disavowal of the content of religious mythologies has a long history.<br /><br />The "New" element to atheism refers to the recent vocalized communion of atheists who are calling for a replacement of magic-thinking and intolerance with rationality and mutually inclusive morality. PZ Myers does not like the term, New Atheist, yet he describes the position well, so here he is in <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2007/09/arguments_for_morality_are_not.php">response</a> to Jonathan Haidt's misguided <a href="http://www.edge.org/documents/archive/edge222.html#haidt">criticism</a> of the New Atheism:<br /><br /><blockquote><p><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">"The New Atheism isn't about throwing away moral systems or introducing a new dogma, it's about opening up a protected realm to inquiry and sweeping away old cobwebs, refusing to allow people to hide absurd ideas from criticism behind the foolish plea of faith. It's much more compatible with the spirit of science to question the follies of the priests than to argue that because priests hand out charity, we should overlook the fact that they also claim that gods speak to them and tell them who is naughty and who is nice, and that the good boys and girls will receive magical rewards."</span><br /></p><p></p></blockquote><div align="center">___<br /><br /></div><blockquote>"In light of <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/evolutionblog/2007/09/my_last_post_on_this_topic_pro.php">this</a>, it struck me then and still strikes me today that it is the height of<br />foolishness to think that Richard Dawkins is any significant part of the problem. Even more foolish is the idea that these sorts of religious beliefs are things to be pandered to, respected, and tiptoed around.

Aguillard</a>, the Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana law that had stipulated a requirement that creationism be taught whenever evolution was taught in public schools.<br /><br />Because this court decision rendered the teaching of creationism illegal, the overtly creationist textbook, <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Of_Pandas_and_People">Of Pandas and People</a></em> was modified for its initial publication in 1989 (2nd edition 1993). <em>Of Pandas and People</em> became the first book to frequently employ the now-common buzzwords "intelligent design", "design proponents", and "design theory". However, because of the 1987 Supreme court ruling, the editors had attempted to extirpate revealing mention of creationism. In this misbegotten editorial process, they inaccurately replaced occurrences of the word "c<span style="color:#666666;">reation</span>ists" with "design proponents" and so created the nonsensical and revealing composite "<strong>cdesign proponentsists</strong>".<br /><br />Creationists actively promoted this creationist text for public school use, starting in Alabama in 1989 and continuing throughout the 1990's. In 2004 a school board in Dover, Pennsylvania, having voted to teach Darwinian evolution, received an 'anonymous' donation of 50 copies of the creationist text, <em>Of Pandas and People</em>.<br /><br />Despite denial by ID proponents, <em>Pandas</em> represents the beginning of the modern "intelligent design" movement. The 1989 edition of contains the basic arguments of ID proponents in modern form and Behe's irreducibly complexity argument appears in the 1993 edition of Pandas. Thus, the textbook came first, and the "research" to support it came many years later.<br /><br />Even before Judge Jones' decision in Kitzmiller v Dover had been released, the sensible folk in Dover, Pennsylvania voted to bounce creationists Buckingham and Bonsell from the school board. Those who did not vote for the removal of these manipulative perjurers are . . . well, creationists.<br /><br />PBS provides the full video of <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/id/program.html">Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial</a> online as 12 chapters complete with program transcripts.

(This phenomenon is akin to the substitution of <strong><em>regurgiquotes</em></strong> for original, critical thinking.)<br /><br />Infectious repetitis would be all well and good if the original idea or design had great merit, but this is too often not the case. Take, for example – you guessed it! – religion. The content of J-C-I religious dogma is passed on and on, unexamined except at the mutation points. The sole claim to veracity for scriptural dogma comprises its having been believed previously. Ultimately, in the most circular of all claims, dogma is claimed to be true because it was initially "revealed".<br /><br />The consequences of doubting dogma have historically ranged from dire to not so dire – burning at the stake, execution, excommunication (only a punishment if you believe the myths), exile, social ostracism, verbal insults in print.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203123464890227642-8523462061634176020?l=neologica.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Arcanumnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203123464890227642.post-38962665151802531112007-04-08T15:09:00.000-04:002007-11-21T22:45:03.790-05:00So-called 'intelligent design' is creationism in lucrative, fancy dress.

Dover Area School District, et. al. But the case name hardly describes the issue, which grew out of an attempt by the local school board to order science teachers to read a statement to their high school biology students that said there is an alternative to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, and that alternative is called intelligent design. ID, as it is called, is based on the notion that certain life forms are too complex to be explained by Darwin's theory of natural evolution and therefore had to have been designed by an intelligent agent. That agent is not stated but is understood to be God, and that process is not stated but understood to be creationism."

A whirlwind happens to blow through the yard. What is the chance that after its passage a fully assembled 747, ready to fly, will be found standing there?*<br /></blockquote><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CqK2iKj3zjM/RxrPvEfO7-I/AAAAAAAAAHs/AnPyu9Q0DEg/s1600-h/Chandra-Fred.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123635933652905954" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CqK2iKj3zjM/RxrPvEfO7-I/AAAAAAAAAHs/AnPyu9Q0DEg/s320/Chandra-Fred.jpg" border="0" /></a>Considering the clever twist for which his Jumbo-assembly, junky analogy set his argument up, Hoyle, who sarcastically coined the term "Big Bang", was doubly <a href="http://blog.case.edu/singham/2007/08/06/evolution19_the_boeing_747_in_the_junkyard">ridiculous</a> in this irrelevant misrepresentation of the probabilistic realities of chemical evolution of life (biopoiesis).<br /><br />Although Hoyle presented the jumbo-junk argument to promote the notion of panspermia, intelligent-design creationists have eagerly misapplied this jumbo-mumbo as an argument against <a href="http://a-deism.blogspot.com/2005/12/biological-evolution.html">biological evolution</a> by <a href="http://mechanismsevo.blogspot.com/2007/12/natural-selection.html">natural selection</a>.

Troops of monkeys thundering away at random on typewriters could not produce the words of Shakespeare, for the practical reason that the whole observable universe is not large enough to contain the necessary monkey hordes, the necessary typewriters, and certainly the waste paper baskets required for the deposition of wrong attempts. The same is true for living material."<br /></blockquote><br /><a href="http://www.hitchensweb.com/">Hitchen's</a> response to the jumbo-junk argument:<blockquote><br />"We know the answer in all cases: these were panistaking inventions (also by trial and error) of mankind, and were the the work of many hands, and are still "evolving." This is what makes piffle out of the ignorant creationist sneer, which compares evolution to a whirlwind blowing through a junkyard of parts and coming up with a mumbo jet. For a start, there are no "parts" lying around waiting to be assembled. For another thing, the process of acquisition and discarding of "parts" (most especially wings) is as far from a whirlwind as could conceivably be. The time involved is more like that of a glacier than a storm. For still another thing, jumbo jets are not riddled with nonworking or superfluous "parts" lamely inherited from less successful aircraft. Why have we agreed so easily to call this exploded old nontheory by its cunningly chosen new disguise of "intelligent design"? There is nothing at all "intelligent" about it. It is the same old mumbo-jumbo (or in this instance, jumbo-mumbo)." ¬ Christopher Hitchens, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/God-Not-Great-Religion-Everything/dp/0446579807/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-3061476-7114464?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1177371396&amp;sr=8-1">god is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything</a>, McClelland &amp; Stewart, Toronto (2007), pp 85-87. </blockquote><br /><p>* F.

Parents used some variant of "Little Johnny" to convince us of how to behave: "Your cousin does the dishes", "Little Amanda keeps her room clean", "Little Johnny mows his parents’ lawn", and "The starving children in India would love your mother's cooking". Our parents assumed that such comparison to Little Paragons of Virtue would convince us to behave as our parents wished.<br /><br />Religionists, in arguments that are not elevated above such childish fallacies, assume that examples of prominent believers–authors, scientists, etc–demonstrate that <em>we</em> all ought to be believers. Logically, all that these "Little Believer" examples demonstrate is that those who were indoctrinated as children may retain ridiculous credulities despite later achievements.<br /><br />Little Kirkism appears to have been coined by <a href="http://fivepublicopinions.blogspot.com/2007/10/more-unconvincing-arguments-for-god_20.html">Arthur Vandelay</a>: " <blockquote>Some apologists, like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_Cameron">Kirk Cameron</a>, will even cite (or, as I suspect, manufacture) their own atheist pre-history and subsequent conversion tale—call it “Little Kirkism”—and then claim to know what all atheists think (and presume to tell atheists what atheists think)."</blockquote><br />As a group, united <em>only</em> by disbelief in Yagoal* or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman">Brahman</a>, atheists certainly do not think alike, though most whose disbelief arises through a logical refusal to believe ridiculous mythologies will be, by extension, immune to these "Little Dimmism" fallacies of logic.<br /><br />* This term is <a href="http://a-deism.blogspot.com/2010/12/gods-nutbar-warriors.html">derived</a> from a concatenation of the "<strong>Ya</strong>hweh-<strong>Go</strong>d-<strong>Al</strong>lah" Abrahamic deity.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203123464890227642-8586870052124360785?l=neologica.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pseudonymousenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203123464890227642.post-9429836195949700082006-12-16T08:05:00.000-05:002008-12-13T01:50:06.082-05:00<a href="http://galaria.blogspot.com/2004/10/yec-yack.html"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073815614115906722" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="God of the Gaps pens Misleading Pseudoscience for Dummies, an allegorical text that scores Z- in science." src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h18ihfyOBX4/RmnQazc1hKI/AAAAAAAAAMo/2bnLaCALr8g/s320/Z-in-science.jpg" border="0" /></a><strong>Pseudoscience</strong> masquerades as science, usually to promote some commercial scam or to promote religious beliefs for which there is not, nor ever will be, supportive evidence.<br /><br />The subject matter of pseudoscientific claims ranges from astrology and the occult to anti-science, religiously motivated falsehoods.<br /><br />Talking or writing about science is <em>not</em> science.

This is scarcely surprising when one considers that their regurgitated opinions are based on lack of evidence, distorted interpretation of evidence, and consistently fallacious logic.<br /><br />"<strong><em><a href="http://orientedtimes4.blogspot.com/2009/02/obama-thanks-satan-strange-but-true.html">Nac you seyee</a></em></strong>" appears in a video uploaded by a rigid, right-wing, bigotted, fundamentalist, über-Christian.<br /><br />Like many of her ultra-conservative fellows, she despises, and presumably fears, Barack <em>Hussein</em> Obama [her emphasis]. This feeling, despite her sharing his pigmentation, is presumably based on the laudable fact that he is not an ultra-conservative type such as her hero, Sarah Palin.<br /><br />She went to the trouble of recording, and playing in reverse, Obama saying "Yes, we can".<br /><br />As she replays “Nac you seyee”, she cues the video with the text, “Thank you satan.”<br /><br />Even if, by some pure fluke, "Yes, we can" played in reverse did indeed sound like "Thank you, Satan", this would prove <em>absolutely nothing</em> about the intent or import of Obama's message or policies. To claim so would be equivalent to claiming that a video played in reverse proves that water can defy gravity by leaping upward from a puddle into a bucket.<br /><br />No wonder that people with opinions as biased, unpleasant, and illogical as this Bah-buw thumper consider it necessary to disable ratings and comments on their videos. Her obsession with evil is interesting – she appears to have intimate knowledge of evil. This might be pitiable if it were not deliberate.<br /><br />If you wish to hear this vicious nonsense for yourself, follow the <a href="http://orientedtimes4.blogspot.com/2009/02/obama-thanks-satan-strange-but-true.html">trail</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203123464890227642-5261408854896851137?l=neologica.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Arcanumnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203123464890227642.post-55627947698655759472006-11-20T18:56:00.000-05:002007-11-05T22:35:32.189-05:00<blockquote>"I just coined 'nefarianism'.

In essence, NOMA incorporated the harmony seeking suggestion that never the twain should meet.<br /><br />The term <strong>magisterium</strong> describes a domain of understanding in which only one form of investigation or teaching possesses the appropriate tools for meaningful discourse and resolution. The notion of NOMA protects religion from scientific scrutiny even though 'scientific' claims including genesis, floods, and miracles are described in the Bible.<br /><br />Gould's suggestion has been criticized by evolutionary biologist, <a href="http://richarddawkins.net/">Richard Dawkins</a> in <a href="http://richarddawkins.net/godDelusion#firstChapter"><em>The God Delusion</em></a>, and by <a href="http://www.fsu.edu/~philo/new%20site/staff/ruse.htm">philosopher of science</a> as applied to <a href="http://calitreview.com/2007/04/03/an-interview-with-michael-ruse/">evolutionary biology</a>, <a href="http://www.metanexus.net/magazine/ArticleDetail/tabid/68/tabid/72/Default.aspx?aid=18">Michael</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Ruse">Ruse</a>.<br /><br /><blockquote><p>Obviously, things cannot be quite this simple. Even if one ignores what Ian Barbour has shown us in a helpful taxonomy, namely that Gould's NOMA is not the only possible stance on the science/religion relationship, the Gouldian separation ploy requires some further work. <em>Prima facie</em>, Genesis does tell us things which conflict with science - six days of creation, humans last, world-wide flood, tower of Babel, and so forth. If you are to insist that there is no conflict - and, in respects, I am happy to go along with Gould on this - then you have got to work to show that Genesis properly understood and science properly understood do not conflict. <em>Prima facie</em> conflict is no more than that -- <em>prima facie</em> -- and not definitive. ¬ <a href="http://www.metanexus.net/magazine/tabid/68/tabid/72/Default.aspx?aid=18">Michael Ruse</a>, <a href="http://www.metanexus.net/magazine/ArticleDetail/tabid/68/id/3044/Default.aspx">Review of Stephen Jay Gould's "Rocks of Ages"</a></p></blockquote>More from Ruse : <a href="http://www.metanexus.net/magazine/ArticleDetail/tabid/68/id/3044/Default.aspx">Stephen Jay Gould: An Appreciation</a> . <a id="dnn_ctr474_Authors_Authorsdl__ctl19_mySubject" href="http://www.metanexus.net/magazine/tabid/68/id/8481/Default.aspx">Being Mean to Stephen Jay Gould</a> :<br /><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/biological+evolution" rel="tag">biological evolution</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/philosophy" rel="tag">philosophy</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/religion" rel="tag">religion</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/science" rel="tag">science</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Richard+Dawkins" rel="tag">Richard Dawkins</a>, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/”http://technorati.com/search/Stephen+Jay+Gould?authority=a4&amp;language=en”">Stephen Jay Gould</a>, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/”http://technorati.com/search/Michael+Ruse?authority=a4&amp;language=en”">Michael Ruse</a>,<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203123464890227642-7518067018496198696?l=neologica.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>salientnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203123464890227642.post-54175910941494388592006-09-02T18:39:00.000-04:002009-03-20T18:47:29.007-04:00As in, I pwn your ass.<br /><br />According to the <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pwned">urban dictionary</a>:<br /><br /><blockquote>"A corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a<br />player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned." Instead, it said, so-and-so "has been pwned." It basically means "to own" or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.<br /><br />"Man, I rock at my job, but I still got a bad evaluation. I was pwned." OR "That team totally pwned us.""</blockquote>Pwnage being the state of owning the winning position, for example.<br /><br />So, it could correctly be said that the Theory of Evolution pwns Creationism, or atheism pwns theism. (Fundies of all ilks, of course, are simply too uninterested in truth and understanding to concede that their position is wrong.)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203123464890227642-5417591094149438859?l=neologica.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Arcanumnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203123464890227642.post-20305658275058777012006-06-16T21:13:00.000-04:002007-08-25T23:53:15.850-04:00<strong>[sick]</strong> indicates that the preceding word is definitely <strong>not</strong> intended to be accepted as it is written. <strong>[sick]</strong> indicates that the author is in disagreement with the wording that is in common usage.

Sheridan invented a character named Mrs. Malaprop in his 1775 play <em>The Rivals</em>.<br /><br />Here's one of my favorites: <strong><span style="color:#ffccff;">mollify/mortify</span></strong><br /><br />Sometimes people have misunderstood the content of a common expression:<br />"<span style="color:#ffccff;">enjoy a wide <em>spectre</em> of music</span>" – a little ghostmusic perhaps.<br /><br />Sometimes it's probably a typo:<br />"<span style="color:#ffccff;">sang themselves into our <em><strong>hearths</strong></em></span>" – where they got a warm welcome, no doubt.<br /><br />Here's something to chew on:<br />"<span style="color:#ffccff;">check that the marriage was indeed <strong><em>consumed</em></strong></span>" – I've heard of marriages being dissolved, but never of their being eaten! I think that the writer was going for "consummated"<br /><br />___<br /><br />A piece of typical gossip on YouTube: "<span style="color:#ffccff;">Shes living with Robert Plant Im guessing its not <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic">plutonic</span> ...</span>"<br /><br />Plutonic? Are he and she <em>not</em> moving to a large rock in our solar system that was recently demoted from planet status? Or did this tuber mean to imply that she and Robert Plant are busy knowing each other in the biblical sense?<br /><br />A friend found these on YouTube:<br /><br />"<span style="color:#ffccff;">I myself as a child never <strong><em>surcame</em></strong> to any peer pressure</span>."<br /><br />One presumes that this pressure-immune individual was trying for "succumbed", though it is just as likely that he/she never overcame any peer pressure.<br /><br />Equally likely, that individual never "succumbed" to instruction on punctuation or spelling.<br /><br /><br />The following could have been a comment about "surcame", but it was not:<br /><br />"<span style="color:#ffccff;">How <strong><em>horribole</em></strong></span>"<br /><br />This horrendous misspelling might have been an unfortunate marriage between "horrible" and "hyperbole". However, I very much doubt that the writer has ever encountered the word "hyperbole", let alone understands its meaning.<br /><br />__<br /><br />New words often come into the language through deliberate combination or modification of pre-existing words. German is notorious for word-concatenations written without benefit of hyphenation.<br /><br />However, many people merely adapt or mangle existing words. The comments on YouTube are rife with misspellings and manglings, hopefully because English is not the first language of the writers:<br /><br />'"<strong><span style="color:#ffccff;"><em>neglectant</em></span></strong>" – is that a combination of negligent and neglectful?'<br /><br />"<strong><em><span style="color:#ffccff;">meticulant</span></em></strong>" - perhaps a marriage of meticulous with a common suffix<br /><br />"<strong><em><span style="color:#ffccff;">voiciou</span><span style="color:#ffccff;">s</span></em></strong>" – presumably akin to vociferous and loquacious<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203123464890227642-6093303791999795418?l=neologica.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pseudonymousenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203123464890227642.post-7040639546390888772005-12-01T00:40:00.001-05:002008-10-29T01:04:45.918-04:00Yes, I did mean to write palindro<em><strong>n</strong></em>es.<br /><br />We need not have feared that Republican bloopers and malapropisms would end with Dubya's term.<br /><br /><br /><center><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CGRjcLILTs4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CGRjcLILTs4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center><br /><br />"There’s no question that Bill Ayers, via his own <strong><em>admittance</em></strong>, was, um, one who sought to destroy our US Capital and our Pentagon.

Through his own conferring the right to enter??? Through his own being permitted to enter???<br /><br />Clearly, she meant to say, "by his own admission."<br /><br />Interesting that aside from the malapropism, Sarah tried to shift the question from the bombers of abortion clinics (scarcely liberal activities) and onto the irrelevant case of a left-wing activist in the early 1970s.<br /><br />"During the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign, a controversy arose regarding <a title="Democratic Party (United States)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)">Democratic</a> Presidential nominee Barack Obama's contact with <a title="Bill Ayers" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Ayers">Bill Ayers</a>, a Distinguished Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a former leader of the <a title="Weatherman (organization)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weatherman_(organization)">Weather Underground</a>.<a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama%E2%80%93Ayers_controversy#cite_note-bddm418-0">[1]</a>" [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama%E2%80%93Ayers_controversy">wiki</a>]<br /><br />Her handlers had presumably primed her with this information.

Therefore, correct understanding that death is nothing to us makes a mortal life enjoyable, not by adding an endless span of time but by taking away the longing for immortality. For there is nothing dreadful in life for the man who has truly comprehended that there is nothing terrible in not living. Therefore, foolish is the man who says that he fears death, not because it will cause pain when it arrives but because anticipation of it is painful. What is no trouble when it arrives is an idle worry in anticipation. Death, therefore -- the most dreadful of evils -- is nothing to us, since while we exist, death is not present, and whenever death is present, we do not exist. It is nothing either to the living or the dead, since it does not exist for the living, and the dead no longer are.</span></p></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><p><p></p><p align="center">_____</p><p>I have never wished to cater to the crowd; for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know.</p></div><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203123464890227642-5590194403755279302?l=neologica.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pseudonymousenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203123464890227642.post-7158330536485977932005-11-07T03:05:00.002-05:002009-01-26T03:09:27.421-05:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_McPg5DlKTZM/R1SVpY_InWI/AAAAAAAAAE8/xVTORpNxuv4/s1600-R/Bertrand_Russell-rational.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5139897613051010402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_McPg5DlKTZM/R1SVpY_InWI/AAAAAAAAAE8/6AyA-4kq9r8/s400/Bertrand_Russell-rational.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center">It has been said that man is a rational animal.

Philip Kitcher shows in his superb new book, <em>Living With Darwin</em>, the theory of intelligent design is a mixture of "dead science" and non-science. That is, insofar as ID makes scientific claims (for example, that natural selection cannot produce complexity), those claims not only are wrong, but were proved wrong years ago. And ID is deeply unscientific in its assertion that certain aspects of evolution (mutation, in <a href="http://mimble-wimble.blogspot.com/2007/11/behe-retreats.html">Behe's</a> case) required supernatural intervention.

They have not. They are not even a serious challenge that might drive new<br />science — they are entirely ideologically driven, trying to find a<br />pseudoscientific rationale. Evolutionary biology has come to the conclusions it<br />has because we've been bouncing around tests of the idea for a century and a<br />half, and it has held up well under a barrage of critical thinking and<br />evidence-based testing by people much cleverer than the gang of religious<br />apologists at the Discovery Institute." </blockquote><p>~ PZ Myers, <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2007/09/i_get_email_9.php">Pharyngula</a>, <a href="http://pharyngula.org/infidelquotes.php">more</a></p><blockquote>"They [the Creationists] have been getting away with this nonsense [Creation<br />Science] for some time now, even to the extent of getting legislation passed to<br />allow them to teach "creationism" side by side with evolution. The true<br />scientific community has largely remained within its hallowed halls rather than<br />storming out into the quadrangle to do battle with what it knows to be pure<br />nonsense. Scientists, unlike religionists, are political neophytes and generally<br />remain oblivious to the issue of religion. Average Americans are not willing,<br />nor intellectually mature enough, to handle such heady stuff as questioning any<br />religion except upon tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee issues. Undoubtedly, this<br />results from living under a Constitution which, in its consummate fairness in<br />not favoring one religion above another, has made attacks on religion nearly<br />needless and obsolete.

Grayling explains why atheism, contrary to yet another fallacious theist argument, is not a religion:<br /><blockquote>"By definition a religion is something centred on belief in the existence of supernatural agencies or entities in the universe; and not merely their existence, but their interest in human beings on the planet; and not merely their interest, but their particularly detailed interest in what humans wear, what they eat, when they eat it, what they read or see, what they treat as clean or unclean, who they have sex with and how and when; and so for a multitude of other things, like making women invisible beneath enveloping clothing, or strapping little boxes to their foreheads, or iterating formulae by rote five times a day, and so endlessly forth; with threats of punishment for getting any of it wrong. But naturalism (atheism) does not premise such belief." (P.29 in Grayling, A.C., (2007) Against All Gods. London: Oberon Books.)<br /></blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5203123464890227642-2824759639247878315?l=neologica.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pseudonymousenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203123464890227642.post-74141740367978287012004-12-12T11:56:00.000-05:002007-10-09T00:17:50.268-04:00<blockquote>“If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it.

Televangelists don't preach Christian love, they teach fundamentalist hate. Those who know how to love don't need to listen to – and more importantly, donate to – hatred-spewing bigots.<br /><br />Televangelists, and conservative Christian preachers, are often caught with their pants down in acts of unmitigated hypocrisy, or with their fingers in the till. In keeping with the pettiness of televangelical views, they tend not to be efficient or imaginative criminals, but they often commit petit crimes on a gross scale.<br /><br /><a href="http://attendingtheworld.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/pat-robertson-prophet.jpg">Inanities</a> from <a href="http://www.bendib.com/newones/2005/may/large/Pat%20Robertson.jpg">Pat Robertson</a>, who recently <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/08/us/politics/08repubs.html?_r=1&amp;oref=slogin">endorsed</a> Rudy Giuliani:<br /><br /><blockquote><br /><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_osP51C3atIY/R2X_lV9d4jI/AAAAAAAABWA/9clOYPOGydo/s1600-h/Pat_Rudy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144799166355857970" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_osP51C3atIY/R2X_lV9d4jI/AAAAAAAABWA/9clOYPOGydo/s200/Pat_Rudy.jpg" border="0" /></a>"God's pattern is for men to be the leaders, both in the church and in the family...
