Chris Smither is great. I'd listen to him anytime.

What happened to that long and thoughtful post in which someone refuted my somewhat flippant previous post? Can we take its disappearance as evidence of some Greater Force?

Chris Smither is a lot like Richard Thompson for me. I keep trying to like him. I know I'm supposed to like him. Everyone { people I respect } says he's amazing. And I keep waiting to be amazed. It hasn't happened yet. That doesn't mean he isn't great. I'll keep my mind open in the meantime.

Heric, when you say the mind, do you mean the brain?

"The End of Science in Texas..."

                  Does this mean they forgot the Alamo?

No, I mean the original thoughts inside your head. The ones we have been trained to fit into a scientific framework, or soemthing akin to it, so that they can be "ordered."

Hey, don't tell Azizi, but it seems that Black smokers might have been responsible for the origin of life on Earth...

This new Creationist Museum shows an exhibit of the "time when adam and Eve walked in the Garden and dinosaurs were their friends".

Amazingly, the video claims only about 25% of Americans believe in evolution over creationism. Really?

Possibly, just possibly, if you add up everyone in the U.S. who consider themselves to be creationists or believers in intelligent design (including the many theistic evolutionists who would not impose their beliefs on the science curriculum) you might get up to that 75%. So far as "creationism" as portrayed in that pseudo-museum, I'm sure it would be a small minority. Minds that could convince themselves that that stance is viable might very well also convince themselves that 75% of the populace is on their side.

Recommended reading: The Quantum SelfHere's a summary review..

The argument is made that a set of entangled quantum states give rise o a notional unity, which provides the field of thought known as Self.

There's a great deal more to it, and it is articulately reasoned and thoughtful.
