watching the end of religion being disproved by Colbert?
so last night on a sweet evening stroll with my bride, we wondered down to Barnes and Noble where I was struck by the latest cover of Wired magazine boldly proclaiming / proposing “the end of religion?”. Being an avid reader of wired mag and www, I was suprised by the seemingly overt opposition to religion that was quite out of the ordinary for the publication. As I skimmed the cover article, I was hit by confusion, empathy, and anger all at the same time.
then I remembered a rss feed I got this week from the resurgence noting steven colbert’s interview of a sceintist attempting to disprove the rationality of believing in God. the scientist turned out to be one of the leading voices in this push, and also mentioned in the article. enough of me talking, check out the video, and leave a comment of what you think!
*note: for some reason the new issue is nowhere on wired.com , but hopefully will be soon. (10/21)
Thanks for this, Jonathan - I will check out the Colbert deal. yes, Dawkins is an interesting character. I’ll watch it and we can talk … and maybe you can show me how to do the RSS feeds … I never have figured those out.
peace - Andy
