Agnosticsherbet's JournalIn th past GOD filled in the empty places in knowledge of the universe...
with a narrative of myth.
As human knowledge filled the holes those places where God brought such comfort have disappeared. We know that the world is ancient. There is no scientific argument that counters an ancient earth.
We know that lightning is caused when masses of air rub together until the energy exceeds the capacitance of the atmosphere that the sparks over the resistance in the atmosphere. We know that thunder is caused by lightning. We can not make a theological argument that God, angels, Thor, or Bael Hammon are the cause.
We have considerable evidence that Planets condense from stellar clouds with the stars the orbit. They are not revealed by the parting of waters or vomited up by cosmic turtles.
With mathematics, we can even glimpse creation of a universe from nothing.
There are fewer and fewer places where God fits.
But because we as a species evolved with God and religion, many need the comfort of God and deny science so they can keep those places in the framework of their experience for God to fill. For those people, science may explain but never comforts, and needing comfort rather than explanations, they deny science and hold to myth.
We should not forget Rasmussen is a whore...
Take a trip over to FR and you will see they are giddy as school children because it is a very close reelection
They quote the Daily Swing State tracking poll that looks at "Swing States." This poll is for September 09.
To them it's a razor thin election because the swing states, at least according to Rasmussen, are all within a point.
Democrats are looking at a broader view, Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll. This is also for September 09.
This is the same data, looked at from different points of view. One seems constructed to appeal to Democrats so they believe Obama is winning comfortably. The other way of looking at the polls is to put it together to bolster Republican view that it is an incredibly tight election that they can buy our suppress to victory.
Which one is accurate?
Well, none of them are because the data is put together in such a way to appeal to different markets. Rasmussen is selling himself to everyone by giving them massaged results.
Rasmussen is a whore who will sell himself to everyone.
