Attenborough on 4

There was a thought-provoking little snippet on Radio 4 this grey and blustery morn

See, that sounds to me like you're a sane and rational agnostic.

And I particulraly agree with this...

"If we go around saying that anything that's possible are equally valid explanations, we're not going to make any progress in finding out what actually is going on."

You might enjoy the link given below, not for the Catholicism, but for the attempt to tease apart science and religion in this context.

Cheers.

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought.

Without the penguins... ;o)

Someone recently sent me this and I think it's a pretty good summary of a lot of the issues I have with the extremists of the atheism camp.

I find it somewhat amusing when I the Satanist am finding the views of Catholics (the author) and Lutherans (the friend who sent me the link) more agreeable with my own than those of many recent atheists.

Aye, it's laugh or cry really, isn't it? ... ;o)

I rather liked this snippet, "Now there are only two sorts of people who think Scripture is supposed to be The Big Book of Everything: New Atheists and Fundamentalists (who are more alike than either realizes)."

From my perspective, being outside of both camps looking in, I can say I've met plenty of atheists *and* religious apologists who, a) use versions of the argument in question to attempt to prove that there is, or is not, a God, and, b) endeavour to tell other people what they should do.

And, sadly, a lot of them are all too serious about it! ... ;o)
