But left wingers do! An enormous threat. Environmentalism, feminism and all manner of ism have done enormous damage to good science. But you won’t hear from Sean about any of those things because he happens to agree with them. When are we going to have a discussion of how feminism and marxism have distorted social science research. Or how environmentalist beliefs have brought idiotic notions like Teleological notions back into science (Gaia hypothesis). Group selectionism anyone. Are those crickets I hear.

I must disagree. There is a soul, there is a God. Science deals very much with nature and physical reality. God is above the natural world. A totally separate reality. Let us not forget Egypt when God destroyed Egypt by altering all the natural laws. Just as you can not find the soul in the body through surgery you can not discover a spiritual God through science. God will show Himself when the time is right and all mankind will believe.

I can out argue any of you atheists but I don’t have time or inclination to prove to you how non sensical your arguments are.

Although one thing is completely predictable: no strident atheist posting here, including the author of this blog, will be given pause by this simple, fundamental and inescapable paradox. (Which, incidentally, is not resolved by quantum mechanics — which has uncertainty but fixed probabilities — nor chaos theory, which is ultimately deterministic.)

And another thing. I’ll tell you what’s even worse than extremism. Internet extremism.

Your mere assertions are noted and discarded; they are no more intrinsically valuable coming from you than if they had come from a plumber or a pizza delivery guy. You might as well be a Mormon missionary bearing your testimony of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon.

Buckminster Fuller announced in 1939 that all 92 elements of nature were now discovered and we are entering a steep period of technological change. Nobody paid much attention to that announcement either. However, quantum physics has shown, without a doubt, that the universe id NOT like a clock – it is, like Poppers points out, like a cloud; that is to say, it is non-localized and unquantifiable. In fact, the quantum description seems to match the description given by mystics and seers from all ancient cultures.

So this is a time that we should be celebrating subjectivity and the human side of nature; its everywhere. Intelligence and consciousness did not just show up when man’s brain stem developed; it was there all the time waiting for us to recognize it. And by the way, astrology works (http://www.emeraldmine.com/jyotish2.htm).
