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.

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.

Are there different sorts of theologians? I mean, is natural like a natural-born theologian, or a theological term?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think the answer to that is this:
Apparently, a natural theologican tries to prove the existence of God through evidence available to everyone.
I still say theologian is not the same as logician.

What are the other sorts of theologians, and do they try to prove the existence of God? If so, how?
