T- Shirt Of The Day

From Richard Dawkins, famous atheist. He gave one to Bill Mahr on last night's episode of 'Real Time'.

I'm afraid this shirt misses the mark. Science is a series of testable hypotheses that can either be proved or disproved by experiements. It is working theories that are either proven through corroborating facts or just as similarly disprovem. Belief doesn't enter into it.

To say that one "believes" in science is as much to say that science is one's faith.

I respect those who have faith, but whose minds are open to persuasion in the face of facts. I do not respect those who stubbornly follow dogma while ignoring or trying to suppress inconvenient facts.

This goes equally for scientists as it does for people of faith.

Well in way less words than M.D. I like it. And since I have black kids and white kids, I really like it.

WOW - well argued M.D. Did you get to use the communal brain this evening or something. That was deep my brother.
