It is a pity that Ray decided not to post the rest of on his blog as it actually made his posts entertaining in a good way as opposed to the usual "ooo look a car crash" style of entertainment usually on offer.<br /><br />I've been trying to read his book but as with "You can lead an atheist to evidence you just can't make him think" I have the urge to hurl it across the room every few lines. Every page contains some fundamental misunderstanding of reality that you find yourself marveling at the fact that Ray is able to dress and feed himself.<br /><br />Hey but on the plus side it got you writing a blog, something many of us over at Atheist Central have wanted for a long time. Keep it up and I look forward to reading your thoughts on various issues in the future.Rabbitpiratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757368316277570711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207424005557092808.post-69400334032400420982010-10-05T13:21:58.068-07:002010-10-05T13:21:58.068-07:00I don't know how you finished Ray's book s...I don't know how you finished Ray's book so quickly. I have yet to finish it, as reading Ray's pathetically simplistic assertions feels like an act of masochism that requires significant breaks between chapters.<br /><br />You seem to have a much higher tolerance for pain than myself...MorallyGodlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086972097786055136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207424005557092808.post-21978091640225380962010-10-05T03:38:09.906-07:002010-10-05T03:38:09.906-07:00Well, Ray has launched the escape pod.

In the original, his passive/aggressive personality was at full throttle:<br /><i>As we know, Steven is intelligent, and as with many intellectuals, he often talks above the heads of his hearers.</i><br />and,<br /><i>How can I say this without losing his friendship...it tends to become a cure for insomnia.</i>Rick Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03853103127435018152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207424005557092808.post-51990465741373968922010-10-03T11:38:30.713-07:002010-10-03T11:38:30.713-07:00What's next?

From that reading and from your review, I recognize the arguments Ray offers to be the familiar ones we see regularly at Atheist Central.<br /><br />Comfort titles his book, <i>How to Know God Exists: Scientific Proof of God</i> then proceeds in Chapter 6 to discredit that whole notion by writing,<br /> <br /><i>Science is forever changing its mind. Many things science believes today will be laughed at in one hundred years. I'm sure you've been led to believe that science provides us with facts and proofs that we can place our trust in. But the field of science actually cannot give us any <b>knowledge</b> at all.</i> (emphasis in the original)<br /><br />I wish Ray had told us this in the introduction!Rick Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03853103127435018152noreply@blogger.com
