Very interesting article on Dawkins and reason and faith
Here is a good quote,
“We are living in a scientific, largely post-religious age in which faith is presented as unscientific superstition. Yet paradoxically, we have replaced such faith by belief in demonstrable nonsense.
It was GK Chesterton who famously quipped that “when people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing – they believe in anything.” So it has proved. But how did it happen?
The big mistake is to see religion and reason as polar opposites. They are not. In fact, reason is intrinsic to the Judeo-Christian tradition.
The Bible provides a picture of a rational Creator and an orderly universe – which, accordingly, provided the template for the exercise of reason and the development of science.
Dawkins pours particular scorn on the Biblical miracles which don’t correspond to scientific reality. But religious believers have different ways of regarding those events, with many seeing them as either metaphors or as natural occurrences which were invested with a greater significance.

James Cameron and wisdom
Interesting contrast between the show last night which sought to show, through some very dodgy linguistics, that they had found the tomb of Jesus…and what the Bible has to say. This might be helpful…
“All human attempts to gain wisdom and the knowledge of God fail unless they are grounded in the saving wisdom and power of God which is revealed in Christ crucified.”
The gospel, good news about Jesus, and the Holy Spirit Who helps us understand deep mystery, is where true power and true wisdom is found.
It’s official, Eagles fans are feral
That bastion of reliable reporting (at least this week) the West Australian, has correctly reported the feralness of Weagles fans….you lot should be ashamed of yourself.
“Walsh conceded he was stunned at the level of vitriol displayed by West Coast fans. Walsh denied any knowledge of reports Jeff Farmer had an altercation with an Eagles member at half-time. However, there was a heavy police presence at the head of Fremantle’s race after the match. “I had to put police in place around the Fremantle dug-out just before half-time because there were people leaning over as players came off the ground,” Walsh said. “They’re normally pretty good the Eagles supporters, but they were very agitated and extremely aggressive. “A lot of people were spoken to about their language, it was pretty intense. “We’ll assess the build-up to next year’s derby, but there’s every chance there’ll be more police and security just to keep things settled.” Seven Eagles supporters were evicted on Sunday, all before half-time.

Quaffable Quote
“On the other hand, it is better not to believe in God than to believe in a God who minimizes human beings, holds them under and oppresses them, with a view to a better world to come.”
