Welcome, del.icio.us Readers!
So I took a glance at the web server log, and found that my old article
How Not to Embarrass Yourself In an Argument With an Atheist somehow managed to make its way to http://del.icio.us/popular/.
So take a load off and stay a while. There’s beer and sodas in the fridge.
Oh, and a lot of people commented that the study I mention at the end of that piece is bogus. I don’t remember which study it was, nor could I find it now if I tried, but I’m not at all surprised that it turned out to be flawed. If it hadn’t, it would’ve been huge news.
I remember that I was highly skeptical about it when I heard about it (on a radio news talk show; not the best source for science news, I know). I was pretty sure at the time that it hadn’t been confirmed by other researchers, but the author claimed to have avoided the obvious problems.
I included that study because, if someone were going to make a good case for the existence of a god, something like that, if confirmed, would be a good start.
