Great book, the God Delusion.

Has a conceptual error in it. Not the premise about God but about the Madonna statue spontaneously moving her arms.

Cannot happen - not beause of improbability but because of Newtonian Physics (admittedly "Middle World" perspective.)

Every time a molecule changes direction, it slams another molecule to go in the direction it was originally going (law of conservation of momentum.) Hence, given the even-handed randomness of the system (the statue) at the beginning, never never, never can all the molecules switch and go the same way because if they did, they would send an equal number the opposite way nullifying the shift.

Michael Behe, the idiot Intelligent Design freak, used this analogy in Darwin's Black Box to prove that it was impossible for matter to spontaneously organize because of extreme improbability.

Besides being an idiot with a PhD he didn't know Physics and blew his own argument out of the water.

I am an MD, so I can call Behe whatever I want to. When I saw his picture in the Dover PA court case, he even looked like an idiot. So, he talks like an idiot, looks like an idiot - guess what - he must be an idiot.

Richard - fix that error otherwise, you are sitting there with an idiot!

2. Open Letter to a victim of Ben Stein's lying propaganda

Ben Stein is among the anomlies of conservative Right Wing Jews (I myself am Jewish) which have been a minority up until now.

This element which includes Senator Lieberman are poised to become Messianic Jews when the time is ripe.

When the Christian Fundamentalists do strike, this element wants to be included in the ruling group.

Sad fact is that they will succeed as belief, even if totally incorrect, will always win over non-belief. Fanatics will always beat out free thinkers.

Mr. Dawkins has spelled out in the God Delusion book what the Fundamentalists intend to do with those who don't agree with them.

I hope that day is a long way off, but I feel that it is fairly close.
