At 3:49pm on March 9, 2011, Violet Chartreuse said…: Thanks for moving my thread to the appropriate section, Nelson. I'll try to be more aware of that in the future. = )

At 1:04am on March 7, 2011, Valerie Tarico said…: I think Pascal Boyer is the the most lucid of anyone working in his area. Parts of Religion Explained gave me headaches because my brain had to work so hard to assemble the information -- but it was well worth the effort.

I'd be glad to do a podcast at some point. The easiest way to get a response out of me is at valerietarico at hotmail.

At 11:11pm on March 6, 2011, Dave said…: I tried religious zone and it said the page wasnt working so i just clicked on the suggestion of forum. sorry!

At 8:18pm on March 6, 2011, Valerie Tarico said…: Thank you -- glad you liked the chapter in the Loftus book. It is, of course, oversimplified. But it's a lot closer to reality than the explanations religion offers for the same phenomena ;).

At 5:12pm on February 26, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: Do you think that raptor Jesus took the Christian dinosaurs up to heaven before the meteor struck? (aka the Veloca "rapture")

At 3:24pm on February 25, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: well, I had already taken like 7 philosophy classes, including logic. I just did not understand how elegant evolution was and its implications about how the universe works. in other words, I didn't have my Bayesian lenses in yet.

At 2:08am on February 25, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: Have I ever told you why I am an atheist? It isn't because i read Graham Oppy. It is because I read Richard Dawkin's books on evolution and Christopher Hitchen's book God is Not Great. Together they showed me that there are plausible natural explanations and that God doesn't lead to great society. All of the theology and philosophy I read is an after thought.

At 4:50pm on February 17, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: yo, could you post sobel and oppy responses on this thread http://www.thinkatheist.com/forum/topics/goedels-ontological-proof?commentId=1982180:Comment:529825&xg_source=activity many people are curious about it and I would post it myself, but I have to go to class and I am writing a bit paper.

At 7:39pm on February 16, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: maybe just contact him through his blog and give him the 411?

At 12:39pm on February 16, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: yo, did you ever get in contact with John Loftus btw?

At 11:23pm on February 7, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: are you serious?

At 3:46pm on February 7, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: I am well, thanks. I have been working on a graduate project on the rebirth of intellectualism in Europe in the 11th century (following the retaking of Toledo). What have you been up to?

At 3:08pm on February 7, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: how goes it? :D

At 4:58pm on January 31, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: that is so damned neat. Dr. Carroll looks and talks like Stormy from Sealab 2021.

At 5:48pm on January 29, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: yo, i finished a pretty kickass article on my blog. i hope you like it. :)

At 10:49am on January 26, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: I looks pretty promising. I read his article in the Improbability of God and was pretty impressed.

At 10:49pm on January 25, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: Its a 1,100 page book about all of the mechanisms and laws of the universe. Everything from thermodynamics to the anthropic principle. I really like it, which is a pleasant surprise for me (I think Penrose is dead wrong when it comes to consciousness). How is Schellenberg's book?

At 9:14pm on January 25, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: Yo, if you are interested, I have been reading through Roger Penrose's The Road to Reality. what have you been reading buddy? :)

At 4:42pm on January 19, 2011, Greg Gorey said…: my dad pays for AOL :P. yea, 9:30 sounds good.
