Re: ever more quotes
philosophical and therefore religious in context
what? trust me, religion and philosophy are two different concepts.
kind of like saying "philosophical and therefore mathematic in context". just as senseless.
if anything, religion is a philosophy. it is one type of philosophy. go look up the branches of philosophy. you'll note that science itself if a philosophy--methodological naturalism. not religion.
religion and methodological naturalism are not one and the same. they are two different philosophies, two different ways at looking at the world.
just like aesthetics and mathematics are two different philosophical branch. you wouldn't argue that someone arguing from an aesthetic view is arguing from a mathematic view.
oh, and thank you for helping solidify the Dover case with this:
ID is indeed 'theo'. Theos comes from the Greek, meaning God.
so much for being able to teach it in science class.

Re: waste of time...
so now you're plato or socrates?
hah, that's rich. real rich. tell me, what is it like to live in what we call the "modern" world, 2000 years plus removed from yours?
I wouldn't suggest walking around. people might scream and otherwise react badly to a decaying corpse running (walking) around.
you can think you're a martyr, Rob, but you're not. No one is crucifying you. It's not our fault you're delusional.

Re: waste of time...
actually, the beginning was a total lack of words. words are a contruct of man. in the beginning (shortly after the big bang) there wasn't even full out atoms.

Re: Science as Leviathan
wait . . .so the purpose of science . . .is to . . .put down . . .the proud?
wierd. maybe that's why they hated the idea of heliocentric solar system and now hate old earth and evolution. they were wrong on all accounts, and science is telling them that they are. and they don't like it one bit. wierd.
somehow, I never pictured science as a summon that launched tidal waves at its enemies.*
*i have square-enix for this picture to thank--in ever final fantasy game, just about, there is a summon called leviathan who does water damage to enemies.
ABE:
don't pay any attention to this post. it's the ramblings of a boy-man who's just putting pieces together in wierd ways.
