science

Can anybody besides me get a kick out of this? This is the definition of ‘science’ in my Cultural Anthropology textbook. I have a feeling somewhere Thomas Kuhn is stirring in his grave.

I don’t want to see evidence of my wife. I want to find out more about her. Even if she were out when I came home, I might find some dry dishes waiting to be put away, or some clean washing all over the chairs in the living room! These things might tell you something about her personality, though may be less than ‘evidence’ that any particular person lives with me. They are like the glow in our house after she has passed through it.

I don’t see how we can live in the world with God without seeing a similar glow.

Over the last several months, a lot of ink has been spilled in the ongoing debate between self-declared atheists and self-proclaimed Christians. This back and forth has taken the form of books, TV debates, correspondence debates, and who knows how many blog streams.

In TIME magazine’s issue of 13 November, Richard Dawkins, a well known scientist and militant atheist, debates the reasonableness of God’s existence with and Francis Collins, Director of the US National Genome Institute and an evangelical Christian. Dawkins wins.
