It's possible, not sure, I'm about to get into chapter 2 right now. As a side note, another writer I admire on this subject named Robert Anton Wilson, also takes some devastating shots at the Abrahamic Gods but is equally unforgiving to "Dogmatic Atheists," as he calls them,
Quote: and seems to offer something like "Quantum Miracles" in his book Quantum Psychology.Depends, eh? From what you can tell, what does he mean by quantum miracles. Violation of bell inequalities, or more like appearances of the virtual particle virgin mary?
Quote:Is materialism really that difficult to grasp? Are "quantum miracles," if such things really exist, contrary to materialism? I don't see why they must be.
(*) Well, you could call me a dogmatic atheist to the extend that I reject Gods whose concept is logically inconsistent, with 100% certainty. But usually the accusation of dogmatism is levered against outspoken atheists who dare to highlight the true absurdity and implausibility of common religious claims, and come from
milque toast accomodationists who don't want to offend.
