The famous biologist J.B.S. Haldane once replied to a reporter who queried what his research on genetics suggested about the deity. Haldane replied that “He must have an inordinate fondness for beetles,” referring to the numerous species of these insects existing for no perceptible function other than for the purpose of reproduction.

Hume argues that it is not enough to surmise or prove the existence of a deity from the conclusions gleaned from our knowledge of the universe’s configuration which bears a distant resemblance to human design - cursory and sometimes unintelligent – a world which Hume states is “the only and the first rude essay of some infant deity, who afterwards abandoned it, ashamed of his lame performance.”

Given the many different failures that the current economic system has been producing recently, it's probably time to step back and look for their root causes.

With out any form of leverage, we are just victims. Power, real power, comes from the ability to compel others against their will. A simple lesson on how to look at problems and find the solution.

The Catholic Church is doing a lot of puzzling things these days. After centuries of evasion tactics and BS, I think the world (including their believers) are on to their tricks. Journalists are having problems hiding their raised eyebrows/outrage/sarcasm. Read the news here.

Sometimes – actually oftentimes – we can get pretty sloppy and careless in our use of words. Take the use of the words “proof” and “evidence”. Proof and evidence, like speed and velocity, or theory and guess, have colloquial definitions that often lead to confusion. In order to smooth the progress of communication and avoid misunderstanding, these words have been given technical definitions in science and philosophy...For example, we prove a mathematical theorem instead of “finding evidences” for its truth, while we accumulate the evidence for a particular scientific theory but we never “prove” a theory. What’s the difference? The distinction is best illustrated by examples.
