    Agreed.



    Also agreed.

    Interdasting!


    Seriously, though, after the Denver shooting, I think that I will wait a while before taking the CT crowd head on.

    Thanks for pointing that out - reps on RC.

    That's what I get for not reading the jacket or any reviews. Or perhaps I've just become far enough removed from the notion that there has to be a Real...
  • Ha! Thanks. I've been nursing a bottle of...

    Ha! Thanks. I've been nursing a bottle of Woodford Reserve recently, but am tempted to get Bookers or something else with a bit more kick for this book.
  • It does not have to be one line, but that would...

    It does not have to be one line, but that would imply a multiverse, and although I am pretty sure that WLC would be a sport and discuss it, I don't think that he, or the majority of Christians, for...
  • I think that the objection is that a timeless God...

    I think that the objection is that a timeless God would know about the prayer, but because he/it would experience all of time simultaneously/atemporally, those prayers could not be reacted to in the...
  • I actually don't know much about WLC's positions,...

    I actually don't know much about WLC's positions, and I don't want to get too presumptive about where he is going, but it seems pretty clear that he intends for the reader of his book, at this point...
  • Finished chapter 3, and am starting to be...

    Finished chapter 3, and am starting to be reminded of the battle of wits from "The Princess Bride".

    Instead of taking quite so much time walking through (by WLC's own admission) incoherent...
  • Indeed. Having finished chapter two, I am...

    Indeed.

    Having finished chapter two, I am definitely getting a sense of the objections that I am going to have to WLC's thesis,

    I am finding his approach to be a bit of a shotgun blast - there...
  • That's certainly my take at this point, but since...

    That's certainly my take at this point, but since the 2 Enoch reference seems to be bolstering evidence more than anything else, my plan is to simply discount it unless and until it gets either...
  • He was using Second Enoch...

    He was using Second Enoch as a way of proving that the concept of timelessness was conceptually available to biblical authors which gives a plausible reason to discount the idea that such a concept...
  • Finished the first chapter. I'm going to try to...

    Finished the first chapter. I'm going to try to relax my critical faculties a bit to accelerate my first pass, and really try to wrap my head around what WLC is saying, then go back with a more...
  • In. Will acquire and start this week.

    In.

    Will acquire and start this week.
  • Yeah, so it's like comparing an organism's DNA to...

    Yeah, so it's like comparing an organism's DNA to a PDF file. All of the data (nucleotides in DNA, bytes for the file), even stuff that can be deleted without apparent harm to the end product, is...
  • This whole argument about junk DNA is like...

    This whole argument about junk DNA is like arguing about how important font choice, spacing, and page size are for a book.

    They are all important, but only the characters/words themselves actually...

    I'll see that and raise you this:

    What if there was an organism that could eat the Intelligent Designer? The Intelligent Designer would get eaten! No evidence of the Intelligent Designer being...

    There is a species that evolved to use lignin as an energy source (and not simply expend energy to break it down): Humans!

    Of course, we call it fire, not lingin digestion, but the fact of the way...

    Happy 4th of July to my fellow Americans in the R/P, even the anti-statists. ;)

    Well said.

    Something I often ponder is whether or not I would be an atheist if I had been raised a liberal Christian. Given how I was raised, and my intellectual predilections, I was on a crash...
