I was there for this one. It was too bad though that no one showed up to debate him. And in other news, I was amused last night when I picked up the wifi signal from the Discovery Institute while waiting for the bus.

2. The US map of faith

I see one problem with this map. The data used for the creation is taken from "149 religious bodies that participated". So that means that organizations where I live, Seattle, are most likely reporting membership that includes people from the neighboring Snohomish and Pierce counties. This makes King County, where Seattle is, look more religious than other places in the Puget Sound region. I sincerely doubt that King County is actually more religious than those places.

That is the same person, Bonzai. It's from the blog of a weekly newspaper in Seattle, which he is also the editor of.

5. Pale Blue Dot

Some thing I always wondered about that video is when he says "suspended in a sunbeam". Was that just Sagan being overly dramatic? I thought the picture was from the vantage point of viewing through one of Saturn's rings.

Quotes of Note:

"if you want to do evil, science provides the most powerful weapons to do evil; but equally, if you want to do good, science puts into your hands the most powerful tools to do so."

Richard Dawkins

"…the individual organism is a very important unit in the hierarchy of life…But however unitary and discrete an individual wolf or buffalo may be, the package is temporary and unique. (pp. 216-217)…"Abraham was left in no doubt that the future lay with his seed, not his individuality. God knew his Darwinism."

Richard Dawkins

"Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence."

Richard Dawkins

"The position I have always adopted is that much of animal nature is indeed altruistic, cooperative and even attended by benevolent subjective emotions, but that this follows from, rather than contradicts, selfishness at the genetic level."

Richard Dawkins

"What are all of us but self-reproducing robots? We have been put together by our genes and what we do is roam the world looking for a way to sustain ourselves and ultimately produce another robot child."

Richard Dawkins
