new post from test group member!

here's some stuff blaRGHGHH!! The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.

Quisque quis elit augue, vitae vulputate felis.

Aliquam tristique leo vitae lacus lacinia at fermentum erat elementum. Nam id urna dolor. Cras porttitor ante at felis tincidunt ac imperdiet tellus ultricies. Integer lacinia, ante eu pharetra elementum, lacus lacus dignissim libero, ut placerat libero tortor sit amet mauris. Nunc suscipit sem non elit pharetra consectetur.

Interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson

Christopher Thielen: So if what you say comes off as atheistic to someone, that’s just peripheral to something else you’re trying to get across? The label’s not important basically?

Neil deGrasse Tyson: I don’t like labels because it’s an excuse for not thinking about the thoughts that the other person has. It ignores what might be nuances or information that lingers at the boundary of the parameters that the other person defines for that category. So, the only -ist that I am is a scientist, and the only -ism that I am – I don’t even think I’m an -ism.

The people who see a few things that I say or do, they say “Oh he’s a this, or he’s a that”, then label it – and I’m thinking, what are you doing?

Christopher Thielen: Just trying to survive?

Neil deGrasse Tyson: And not only that – if you look carefully at the arguments I’ve given; most of them now are just scattered all over YouTube, but if you actually listen carefully, I’m at no point expressing an opinion. It may feel that way, because I think I have a lot of energy when I’m in front of an audience, but it’s not about my opinion. It’s about what is going on in life and I think the most viewed among YouTube [videos] that I’ve put out there that I think people associate with atheism or religion or spirituality was my presentation at the Beyond Belief Conference in 2006 – this was in San Diego – and we talked about intelligent design; it was freshly in the news because of the Dover Pennsylvania case, and I simply said that intelligent design, if you think of it as someone reached the limits of their knowledge and then invoking the hand of something intelligent than they, historically that simply would have been God – there’s plenty of precedent for that among the world’s most famous scientists throughout history. It’s not a new thought to think that God has something to do with the Universe beyond the understanding that humans have been able to muster. Part of the talk was to present that fact and not sweep it under the rug, and then [to] say that intelligent design, since it embraces the ignorance beyond your limits of understanding … it cannot possibly, when expressed that way, serve a philosophy of discovery, which is what science is about. Science is about taking the unknown and figuring it out.

Christopher Thielen: Right.

I love this song.

Carl Edward Sagan (9 November 1934 – 20 December 1996) was an American astronomer and popular science writer.

[thematis-blog]

The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by God one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.

As quoted in "Scientists & Their Gods" in U.S. News & World Report Vol. 111 (1991) by Carl Sagan
