Oh, The Case for a Creator, I stopped reading after a few pages. It was when he talked about the mysteries of how life got started in the first place, then a few years after the book was published scientists had made artifical life.
HAHAHA!!!
That's rich.
Yes, I had to quit reading the book. His first step to convincing us is bringing in one professor who specializes in one myth (Mithridas). For about 1 whole page all he does is say how the guy is so smart, has a degree, publications, etc. ..Well so does my brother. Big whoop.
And so one small area of study will dispute all doubt?!
It is this that make me just flabberghasted.Are we as a people truly that gullible? I know we are. The studies on shocking (Milligan?) and the Princeton Prison studies show that if we are not on our toes all the time, we have a hard time seeing facts.
The recent US Health Care debate showed that. I dno't care what side you were on, the facts were just not there and those that were were so obfuscated there was no telling any truth.
I guess we just have to keep honing reason.
