POPSProf Coyne's dismantling of religion ... Give the full essay a read ... Science and faith are NOT compatible -- not matter how much a person wants to make them coexist in "the same brain" ... as Coyne says requires that with one part of your brain you accept only those things that are tested and supported by agreed-upon evidence, logic, and reason, while with the other part of your brain you accept things that are unsupportable or even falsified. With his usual flair, the physicist Richard Feynman characterized this difference: "Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool." With religion, there is just no way to know if you are fooling yourself.

POPSAt least he admits it... Faith in something that doesn't really exist isn't limited to religious fanatics... Free markets don't exist either... They are created by us -- people -- and ALL of them have rules: man-made rules. Greenspan was one of the faithful. I can at least give him credit for seeing the error in his own ideology. Banks and other institutions ONLY exist because we created them... without rules and regulations they would not be able to function.

POPSFaith based leadership... Another example of why the bible is wicked -- and why those that follow it are either truly stupid, or evil themselves... Who even tries to justify such teachings?
