POPSLOL! The religion of atheism??? St. Augustine is a beautiful town. With its massive oak trees and Spanish moss it is a charming and quintessential southern town. Yet at least one of their residents seems to be lacking in even basic logic and appears to be intent on merely apeing the same old canards of the ultra Religious Right. Well, at least they're consistent. I won't go into detail about the numerous fallacies presented in this article but will only say that this is typical of the "arguments" used by a certain portion of the population. The only comment I'll make on this is to point out that calling atheism a religion is analogous to calling bald a hair color.

POPS"Newton Day" In America? as the father of modern philosophy, but since logic and philosophy are not so uniquely Western as science, I’ll let it pass. The real giant of modern Western science, in my mind, is Sir Isaac Newton, whose articulation of the laws of gravitation and motion, and subsequent derivation of Kepler’s laws of planetary motion from those laws, demonstrated that the heavens and the earth all obeyed the same physical laws. While we’re celebrating his contribution, though, we should probably remember Kepler who went before him, and also Galileo Galilei, whose painstaking observation Stephen Hawking believes contributed more to the creation of the modern, natural sciences than anybody else. So, why are we not celebrating Newton Day, Galileo Day, Kepler Day, Copernicus Day, or Augustine Day? It’s because the day we’re being told to celebrate is actually a religious observance by a non-theistic religion, and what they’re celebrating is neither science nor reason.
