George (under 'Quantum Science', 8 August at 19.17) : "As to people believing what they want to believe for aesthetic or emotional reasons, or [...] because it makes a good story, I've nothing against this. In fact I do it myself. Problems only arise when people state these beliefs as totally established facts that we must all bow down to." - Every so often, George, you come up with a post that merits a round of loud applause and raised glasses. This is one of them. Thank you. - George (on this thread, concerning a PhD in Intelligent Design): "I wonder if AgnosticWeb counts as hostile or friendly or is it neutral?" - Some posts are hostile, some friendly, and some neutral. We are therefore nicely balanced! And for the most part we are fortunate in having contributors who do not state their beliefs as totally established facts that we must all bow down to.
