Also, I'm wondering if I can pull a bunch of numbers out of my ass and prove that Paris Hilton is really an alien from the planet Dimarias and then get an article posted on Netscape News. How could someone read that article and let it get put up as news?
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

I just got an email from House of Blues that Echo and the Bunnymen will be playing in December. I might have to go to that.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Also, Nutty, once I'm teaching can you come in to do that lecture? Nobody ever seems to get that. "If this is true half the time and this is true half the time, what's the probability of their both being true at the same time?" "Er... one!"
Yes! I will be there with mathematically-improbable bells on.

I love the quotes from the Time Cube site:
If you place a child in a room and in the hands of a Word God, the child will suffer severe loneliness and will starve to death. God is Word fiction.
One day when I'm really bored I'm going to read the whole thing. I'll probably end up insane.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How could someone read that article and let it get put up as news?
How could someone read that article, not notice that they're talking about the probably [sic] of God's existence and then put it up as news?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If you place a child in a room and in the hands of a Word God, the child will suffer severe loneliness and will starve to death. God is Word fiction.
So we should use WordPerfect?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I recalled that Bob has mentioned Swinburne in the past so I called him, and he's writing me an email explaining this which I will post. But for the interim, I will note that he said Swinburne is arguably the greatest natural theologian since Aquinas. IOW, not an idiot.
Apparently, a natural theologican tries to prove the existence of God through evidence available to everyone.
