Of course, there are religious people who are also scientists (or vice versa). But generally, scientists are not that religious.
I think you'll find that when a scientist says they are religious, it is generally a MUCH less organized, regulated, and directed sort than the...
I just had this thought. So suppose you die. From anything but brain trauma. What indicates death? Your heart stops. What does that mean?...
At five? In first grade? Gimme a break. Plus, I think that has less to do with development and more to do with being raised in a certain...
I think it's quite possible that there are cases where it comes more from environment and where it comes more from genetics, and where they are...
I'm not assuming. It might be real. That is less likely to be the case if only one person experienced it. Truth doesn't depend on anything....
Hoo, this is going to be a long post. But isn't discussion great? Yes it does, and not I am not. When people can agree on the observation of a...

Why not? In the end, you actions will change squat, the universe will either squish or diffuse apart, the human race will not survive. Even in...
It's a pretty good book. I don't remember too much of it, but it was a good read with an interesting premise. He also wrote Jonathan Livingston...
Sounds like a Richard Bach story. Have you ever read Illusions?
Why does there have to be a creator? There doesn't seem to be a reason for that assertion, just a feeling that people tend to have. Does it...
