Evidence for God from Science

August says: The 17,000 scientists that signed the Oregon Project petition, the survey of 530 climatologists in 27 countries done by Professor Dennis Bray of Germany's GKSS National Research Centre, the 10,000 scientists who co-signed the letter from Frederick Seitz, former president of the NAS who ...

Good post and excellent summary article, Gman.

Good summary Canuckster

August says: The point is that there is no consensus right now. DB: There are bound to be several ways to resolve whether there is or is not a concensus. Line up to advocates, line up the rejectors, check out who pays them. If it's a politician, who supports their campaigns? If it's a scientist, doe...

Leave 'em alone. You didn't buy that Iraq/terrorist nonsense, did you?

I am too, Gman. California is not the only state trying to accomplish what the fed won't. About 5-7 of the original 13 colonies are working on legislation. Unfortunately, the auto industry (I think) and other big business is suing California trying to slow down the process or get the Supremem court ...

Pretty impressive lists, Gman - I'm glad you brought that up about the fact that so many of the naysayers have a financial stake in industry. I forgot to stress that in my post.

heh, heh - you have really picked some bad boys to believe. The only thing I would suggest it that you widen your reading patterns. These guys are really outliers. That rep from Oklahoma is not just anti-global warming...he seems anti science of any sort - but that's not really his beef. He buys int...

Sandy mcd says: For example, somone prays that a loved one be cured. The doctors are amazed as the cancer undergoes spontaneous remission. Is this proof of a miracle which flouts scientific laws or an unpredictable happenstance? Someone else is upset by rampant homosexuality and sinfulness and then ...

Yes, the people of Iraq were better under Hussein - but we're not. Not only has this folly of our alpha male leader cost us untold dollars, but this war effort has boosted Iran to a position of greater strength than it had before - and how are we ever going to get out? War may be needed at times, bu...

Most credible climate scientists will hedge instead of making dogmatic statements about global warming and its effect on the earth. It is an extremely complex system and they don't know what it's going to do. The current models are very carefully worked out, involving 3312 boxes (4 degrees latitude ...

Good article, Bart. Interesting how the originators of the surveys force the respondants to put themselves in a pigeonhole they might not necessarily pick if they only had more options. If you had - say 30 pigeonholes - instead of three, the respondants that finished would be more likely to find a h...

Bart, maybe it's just me, but I couldn't access that site from your url directions - Dave

heh, heh...good one, Gman

Kurieuo: You misunderstand. I am actually saying that if there is a "chance" that life could unfold naturally without a designer, that such actually takes aways from Paley's Watchmaker argument. DB: Thank you for your thoughtful reply...OK —got it Kurieuo: Yet, an important point I emphasi...
