69th Skeptic Circle

Unscrewing the Inscrutable has it this time.

If you're unfamiliar with this, its a collection of some of the best essays on the internet. Skeptically minded that is.

Check it out.

Pope: Creation vs. evolution clash an ‘absurdity’

"This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such.”

There always seems to be a way to fit God into everything. The problem here is that evolution creates a situation that doesn't need God, inventing him is pointless and unnecessary. Occam's razor people.

Second Post?

This is my first post, but the second on this blog. If Jeph is an athiest well aquainted with cheating then I am being the stereotypical Christian, arriving late and taking credit for what was already done when I got here.

All joking aside I hope this challenges people of differing view points to think about the hardest questions imaginable. To quote C.S. Lewis (the first of many times to come) "Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important." To give athiest the fair representation due to them I would just replace the word Christianity with belief. I hope that is general enough for everyone to be happy.

Catch you on the Flip side.

First post

I'm cheating really, I haven't invited Nathan as an author yet, so I'm taking an unfair advantage. But being an atheist I'm use to lying and cheating my way into things that I want.
