Seriously Flippant
Two good bits from fighters of the good fight which I ran across today: beach estate fl mexico real
- A pretty interesting interview with Dawkins. My favorite part is this bit here:
"Just as we can't absolutely disprove the existence Thor and Zeus and the Flying Spaghetti Monster, we can't be dogmatic and say 'It is certain that God doesn't exist;' We can say it is as unlikely as Thor with his hammer. I could call myself an a-Thor-ist to give the idea of that."
- For some reason I have lately preferred to read in the campus bookstore over the library. Today, I sat down at a random comfy chair, which happened to be right in front of a row of Dennett. I considered this an auspicious sign, and read a few random chapters, from which I lifted this gem:
Trad: Look. It's just obvious. You can't deduce what a color looks like if you've never seen one!
Oh, Dennett, you rascal, always exposing bad thought experiments.DCD: That's an interesting folk theory. Here's another: if you burp, sneeze, and fart all at the same time, you die. Sounds plausible to me. But is there any scientific basis for either of them?

I find it pretty funny that a scholar as distinguished as Dawkins references of Pastafarianism.beach estate fl mexico real
