  • I'm not spontaneously attributing it to God without reason. I'm weighing my personal experience and understanding against the options. Those things considered, God seems far more reasonable.

    Also, "something happening without explanation" is not even a remotely accurate definition for religion. Science IS an attempt to explain observed phenomena. The difficulty arises in the not so easily observed things. Thankfully, there is a third party intervening in nature to reveal those sort of things.

  • ...You're an literary heavyweight.

  • nice comment tardo

  • I don't agree with his analysis of the media, but its nice to hear a conservative talk with balance about difficult issues and acknowledge that lockstep agreement with conservative policies might not be the greatest thing in the world.

  • "If you don't like the news go out and make some of your own", Ben.

    This is a quote I attribute to a 1960 / 1970 radio personality at an early free format FM station KSAN.

    But then I guess that is what he is doing (while living out his old, frustrated, Nixon / Reagan speechwriter syndrome).

    After all the medium is the massage.

    Pay no attention to the man behind the crooked smirk.

    Good thing we live ina dumoccersee, Ben.

  • It's MUCH more sensible to believe we all arose from some very special mud which, without explanation, suddenly produced life."

    itsateben, something happening without explanation is religion, SCIENCE is when we attempt to explain Observed phenomena. It's alright to be critical of abiogenesis, not much is known about the exact process by which living life arose.however,automatically attributing the unknown to an unseen diety is as foolish as beleving in a sun god, or thunder god.

  • I loved that little, "I'm insane" smile at the end. Comedy gold.

  • Mr. Stein is Jewish.

  • 94 percent of Americans pay their mortgage on time. So, you should be careful when you write about "everyone" having to deal with foreclosure.

  • the boom has turned bust mr.stein
