Comments on: Half a million visitors http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2006/03/22/half-a-million-visitors/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

That james2006 character is a pretty typical twerp. Too bad I didn't see your post until this morning, because I threw a bunch of talkorigins links back at him and his list of questions. I'd have loved to see what his responses were but since you're off the front page now, I doubt he'll ever look there again. Alas... Some interesting comments you got to that post on HuffPo, Phil.

Simak This revolutionary piece of Science Fiction really rocked my world back in circa 1971. Cliff wrote a cautionary tale that warned of how the pendulum could swing from one extreme to the other so easily. From Science to Superstition in one fell swoop. Yes, yes, it involved E.S.P. and various other mental abilities which are patently silly, but there was a hugely important sociological message there that ALL skeptics ought to take to heart. I don't even know if it is still in print, but damnit, it SHOULD be. Reality is only for people that can't cope with SF... TIME IS THE SIMPLEST THING by Clifford D. Simak
