Interesting imagery, however - methinks Dennet doth confuse metaphor and supposition with fact and reality <g> I know of plenty of musicians who's musical...
Dennetts comments on religion have got me thinking because they seem to say 'can we prove God exists scientifically? - obviously not so why do we have...
In a message dated 3/6/2006 2:36:41 PM Pacific Standard Time, ... Hi Rob, The idea that all things of value must somehow submit to the proofs of science, is,...
Rod, There are many scientific and and mathematical hypothesis that remain unproved today but it still doesn't stop research. Have you tried to prove the null...
"How do I prove God exists?"
For me, there is a flaw in the question.
1- What is God? What do you mean by God? My idea of God is different from yours and is...
I agree with you Raymond and Christophe, The problem is many of these scientists such as Dawkins and Dennett don't even think very deeply about God. They are...

Hello everyone, ... I'm not sure I would agree here. : - ) From my perspective it is never a mistake to commence an inquiry on a worthwhile topic. And it seems...
