Some less frivalous Sites of the Day are two interesting articles I read yesterday:
– A good piece on national healthcare from the New Yorker. The essay gives a few anecdotal stories, which really prove nothing, but after reading made me at least 100% in favor of national dental care. I’d pay extra taxes for that.
– The New York Times on Science and Religion. If you ask a devout Christian or an athiest, had He wanted to, could God have made the world and the creatures on it without leaving a signature?
They each will disagree for opposite reasons. They can say that He did or that he didn’t, respectively, but if they don’t agree that He could have, then they are not reasonable people and not worth bothering with. Meaning, in an unprovable argument, a rational person must at least concede the possibility of being wrong.
For the record, I believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
