• Why I am Agnostic, pt 2–causality

  
  themattscott — Authority: 109
  I mentioned, in a comment yesterday , that I had jumped the ship of theism about a year ago, and had somehow gotten caught up in trailing the ship for some time after that. The next few posts will discuss how those remaining ties were severed, and I’ll probably end with something on why I am not an atheist. (I ...

• “Trying to Understand”

  
  Authspot — Authority: 520
    Made up lies with faithful eyes. A blackened heart that works folly on those less smart. The heathen has not a care and distaste for those beaten and bare. I stare, into dead space trying to understand how this could be. I can’t. This is not understandable to me. Everyday I meet  more and more ...

• To What Shall I Liken Intelligent Design?

  
  Prometheus Unbound — Authority: 141
  Something I read recently that Thomas Nagel wrote alighted in me an analogy concerning Intelligent Design’s relation to evolution. It’s an analogy that I’ve never seen anyone else make.

  DefendingGenesis.org — Authority: 106
  Santy Claus Is Outsourcing!He’s gotta be. How else do we explain those pernicious little twisty ties that bind every toy to the box at the molecular level?

• Reductionism Not?: Mathematical Biologist Stuart Kauffman on “breaking the Galilean spell”

  emerging thought in Montana — Authority: 106
  Control and freedom are interesting topics in themselves. If one is in control is he free or reacting to what is happening around them to maintain that control? If one is a servant or slave, there is a sense of freedom from the responsibility of higher things others are controlling so one is free to pursue other ...
