Smart People Live in Georgia

Sometimes I just beam with joy that I lived in the intellectual capital of the world, Atlanta, Georgia USA. A place where it’s okay to ban Olympic volleyball on the grounds that there may be some of them contagious homosexual players; a place where we skipped the chapters on Africa, Asia, and South America so [...]

Darwin’s God?

From this week’s New York Times Magazine: “God has always been a puzzle for Scott Atran. When he was 10 years old, he scrawled a plaintive message on the wall of his bedroom in Baltimore. “God exists,” he wrote in black and orange paint, “or if he doesn’t, we’re in trouble.” Atran has been struggling [...]

Did you know that you can stop light? This concept has been around since Einstein’s days when he proposed that at absolute zero all motion stops and all matter blurs (this was based on previous work by Satyendra Nath Bose). It was only a matter of time before a few scientists actually figured out how [...]

“A new poll shows that 66% of Americans think President Bush is doing a poor job of handling the war in Iraq… and the remaining 34% think Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to church.” -SNL

It’s only a matter of time before Battlestar Galactica becomes a major motion picture. Why? Well, it’s not because of the special effects (which are good) nor is it because of the acting (which is not always so good) - it’s because the writers have tapped into the mythological themes that were only alluded to [...]

Science as a Candle in the Dark

In 1922, President Woodrow Wilson wrote, “Like every other man of intelligence and education, I do believe in organic evolution. It surprises me that at this late date such questions should be raised.” Why is it that American’s are so susceptible to emotional rhetoric and uncritical thinking? In a time when science is saving the lives [...]

No Need for Greed or Hunger

Imagine there’s no heaven, it’s easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today. Imagine there’s no countries, it isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for, no religion too. Imagine all the people, living life in peace… Imagine no possesions. I wonder if [...]

It’s been over a decade since (1) Richard Noll first put a challenge to Jungians: prove that analytical psychology rests on firm scientific ground, otherwise agree that it’s just a religion or pseudoscience. He was right to make this challenge. In my opinion, Jungians have lost their way - attaching themselves to new age voodoo, [...]

The Sense Of Being Glared At

The Journal of Consciousness Studies (JCS) has just released its latest issue. The entire issue is devoted to exploring some of Sheldrake’s most controversial ideas. I would like to applaud the courage of Anthony Freeman in publishing the latest issue of JCS. I think the correlation Freeman makes between science and religion is still true; [...]

Is God All In Your Head?

The battle between science and religion is heating up. Will science succeed in its quest to do away with God, the soul, and all things spiritual? There is an excellent article in this month’s What is Enlightenment? on this topic. From the intro: “Like a lot of people interested in matters of the spirit, I’ve always [...]
