Speaking of E=MC2 and Quantum Reality why not check out this website, the author of which is a scientist.

But they are only nutters too - of course!

Thank you for the link to the truthism website.

But I think you should warn people not to start reading while they're munching on an apple. They may choke to death as I almost did.

Oh well, off to my reptile club meeting.

Here is a fatal flaw (one of many) that is truly lethal, even for the most credulous of true believers.

Using the Bible's own dating, which is not to be altered by the faithful, the Biblical Flood occurred smack in the middle of the history of ancient peoples, i.e., the history of the Egyptian people, who were blissfully unaware the a universal flood was occurring.

@Pericles: "To me, it was a story about a theologian's journey from belief to pragmatism, and as such was both unusual and encouraging."

So the subtitle should have been: "How it took an intelligent person ten years to realise that some of the Bible is nonsense on stilts"? Even Peter Slipper didn't take that long to wake up and smell the coffee. Why didn't the author just read Richard Dawkins and get it over with in a week?

What's next: "My Lifetime Journey of Discovery: How I Learned the Truth about Santa Claus"?

10,000 years of evolution yet still superstitious, gullible people are discussing arks, whales swallowing people, and the risk of being turned into a pillar of salt, etc.

Perhaps humans are devolving?

The line between sarcasm and commentary in your posts is sometimes difficult to discern, Jon J.

>>So the subtitle should have been: "How it took an intelligent person ten years to realise that some of the Bible is nonsense on stilts"? Even Peter Slipper didn't take that long to wake up and smell the coffee.<<

The parallel is not quite exact, is it. By the author's own admission, he "grew up in 'Bible-believing' churches", which establishes a relationship with belief systems that is not easy to shake. I'm not sure "waking up and smelling the coffee" accurately describes anyone's journey to enlightenment from such a starting-point.

>>Why didn't the author just read Richard Dawkins and get it over with in a week?<<

I think runner may be able to answer that one for you.

>>What's next: "My Lifetime Journey of Discovery: How I Learned the Truth about Santa Claus"?<<

Doesn't quite have the punch of the Bolognese story, does it.
