I was surprised to read just how much kudos they gave to George Clooney. I mean really - they kind of gushed on about him. Despite his "downfall" as an atheist.

All the young ladies at my Church are either underage, married or over 55 but you're more than willing to have acces, just not sure if that will get you anywhere. I prefer wine to beer, will that do?

Quote:So should we, like Hawking, reject Newton’s God?

Newton was a heterodox Christian. He rejected the divinity of Jesus and felt that Trinitarian Christianity was a blasphemous invention.

Quote:It is evident from Hawking’s own statements that he is completely willing to embrace Newton’s theories of science, but he rejects Newton’s conclusions concerning matters of faith.

...and Newton's weird beliefs in alchemy. Someone can be brilliant in one area and be completely wrong in another. That's why science doesn't rely on authority.

Quote:When you get right down to it, quantum mechanics is some ways is akin to biblical faith. It operates in the realm of the unseen. It assumes things to be true that it cannot observe with the naked eye.

Air is unseen but it has properties that can be demonstrated. Recent tornadoes are grim examples of the effect of air. Just because something can't be seen doesn't mean it requires faith to believe in it.

Quote:Quantum mechanics, like faith, is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, Heb. 11:1.

You know, I've heard this verse misquoted before. Perhaps there's a faulty translation out there? The verse says "CONVICTION of things not seen". Faith isn't evidence. Even if Paul did write "evidence", it wouldn't make it so.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
...       -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist
