Will the Arab revolutions lead to Democracies or Theocracies? While world leaders and even the people who have managed to rid themselves of their dictators celebrate, what will emerge will be even worse for the people. I'm afraid it is going to be out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Its funny, it really is, well to be honest hilarious. I really didn't think PCS was serious when he claimed 'Ive found a scientific discovery that has been sourced to the bible, and that proves its divinely inspired' or similar.

The sad thing is you don't even need to think about it long to realize that hes full of crap.

So his line one item for 'showing the bible to be true' is a fragment of a poem from psalms. A line that involves divinely revealed insight about 'the fish of the sea' and the 'paths of the sea'.

While debating with theists, I've come across familiar defense mechanisms built right into the doctrine. Designed to prevent critical analysis or to confuse the believer into dismissing opposing arguments, they've stood up as truly dynamic mechanisms. Awe-inspiring, even.

Here are a few that I've been thinking about. If you have any to add I'd be grateful.

It really is terribly simple,
1) models with predictive capability are of utility.
2) Science is in a class of its own, a process without competitors, when it comes to its ability to form such models.

So where is the problem? These are observations that not only essentially everyone agrees with, but practically EVERYONE eagerly embraces, most notably in tasting the sweet fruits of science, such as modern civilization.

However religion, a model with no demonstrable predictive utility, remains prevalent within mankind.

The bizarre thing is that all these people who engage in religion must realize what a good model looks like as they use them everyday of their life. Convergent models with predictive capability are the good one... the ones they chose to use. Yet still, peculiarly, these folks still embrace religion which is evidently divergent with no demonstrable predictive utility.

Quote:

From early 1980 until September 1981, the Gallup Poll conducted a series of national surveys in the US, probing the attitudes and beliefs that Americans, eighteen and over, held on immortality.

The book, Adventures in Immortality, which documented the findings of this survey, dealt mostly with Near Death Experiences and thoughts of Heaven. Even though the survey is over twenty-five years old and belief systems may have shifted somewhat during this time, the poll still gives an extremely useful look at Western attitudes towards death and Spiritualism.

Rowan Atkinson reads from the bible, and tells us a story of a miracle of Jesus.

If only the bible was really like this.

And yes this is the same sketch that Rowan Atkinson performed at the recent 60th Birthday celebration of Prince Charles.

Apparent Prince Woo himself is a big fan of this sketch!

Next up is Rowan Atkinson welcoming you to hell as the Devil!
