H-D isn't what it used to be according to Stephen ben Yeshua

Didn't you also find it odd that his timeline was actually moving backward?I thought he moved from being a credible scientist to this H-D science.But the timeline starts at 1972, with him finishing his book. Then he talks about the Jesus Freaks of the 1970's (I guess he could have meant post 72). And ends by talking about the 1960's.So when did the transformation actually occur? Before the book, after the book? I couldn't figure it out.Since you seem to know more about that famous Fretwell ecologist guy than me, is our Fretwell that Fretwell or not?

It makes you wonder what kind of trauma one goes through that can obliterate ones ability to think logically. Especially after having practiced methodological naturalism for an extended period of time.

I think I'm starting to get the picture. They were both biologists that were semi successful in the sixties. Hmmmmmm....Maybe they met at some party (a bio conference) and dropped the same bad acid together, and some Guru type led them on an acid trip where he convinced them they were seeing and talking to God.I put this Bayesian probability at .60 (or 60%). I hypothesize that if it did happen, both he and Salty would not be able to remember the experience occuring, and due to the trauma would deny it vociferously. Thus if they do deny it happened the probability goes up.And of course if they cop to it, it still goes up.BTW, Mammuthus I should say (belatedly) that I really like your latest avatar. It's kind of menacing yet alluring all at the same time.[This message has been edited by holmes, 02-03-2004]

I didn't catch that one. Unless by reminiscent you meant because it was threatening yet alluring?
