Most of us would gladly pack him up and ship him to Darfur, where his views might find a better audience. <br /><br />And if he's threatening lives, well I live in Montreal too. He can come try his luck (my "pleases" and "thank yous" are far more powerful than you could ever imagine!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-61683480864221426312010-09-04T16:50:16.595-04:002010-09-04T16:50:16.595-04:00I'm pretty sure he's a person, but he migh...I'm pretty sure he's a person, but he might be using some sort of spam software. He's a Canadian computer programmer who lives near Montreal and spams the comments of people on the Atheist Blogroll and apparently who link through my site (how flattering, right?).<br /><br />I know he's threatening lives and all... but I'm really big on free speech, so I even let him keep some of his better threats up. I've been "going to die tomorrow" for months now, so it's really not a big deal to me anymore.<br /><br />I mean come on... he's Canadian. What is he going to do, "Please" and "Thank you" me to death?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504734487692109101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-16160308864754409012010-09-04T16:23:59.801-04:002010-09-04T16:23:59.801-04:00who is this DM guy, he's started posting on my...who is this DM guy, he's started posting on my blog too (I suppose I asked for it), but is he just a spambot, or an idiot?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-84371042330326461892010-09-04T12:13:51.879-04:002010-09-04T12:13:51.879-04:00hawking is WRONG

There's still plenty of other unexplained things God could do... like... um... have we explained lightning yet? Or what about belly button lint?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504734487692109101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-53628928190136719012010-09-04T11:42:38.697-04:002010-09-04T11:42:38.697-04:00Wow, do I get some sort of award for writing a pos...Wow, do I get some sort of award for writing a post DM responded to in the proper traditional manner?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504734487692109101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-25759613149636443002010-09-04T11:29:35.503-04:002010-09-04T11:29:35.503-04:00hawking is WRONGhawking is WRONGDMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11389651479904502758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-11450402300891534382010-09-04T10:09:40.459-04:002010-09-04T10:09:40.459-04:00I disagree. If it was titled "The Grand Schem...I disagree. If it was titled "The Grand Scheme" then religionists would simply remind you that only a mind could devise a scheme, only a thinking conscious being could be scheming. Ah-ha! Therefore a personal God!<br /><br />But we already know that the appearance of design can arise naturally.<br /><br />The theory of evolution explains it in biological terms. <br /><br />Patterns in mathematics can arise out of arbitrary random systems, just take the Mandelbrot set for example--in which we get beautiful patterns (all seemingly designed) out of random chaos.<br /><br />Also I don't think Hawking is suggesting science can prove God does not exist. Perhaps he is echoing Pierre-Simon Laplace's sentiments that a personal being is not required to predict the universe we see. And if it doesn't fit into the equation for describing the universe, what use for the God hypothesis?<br /><br />At least that's how I read it.Tristan Vickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348780254008374268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-91999753097374497842010-09-03T19:29:27.181-04:002010-09-03T19:29:27.181-04:00When I read this earlier, my first thought was...a...When I read this earlier, my first thought was...and still is...do we really give a shit what Hawkins thinks regards God? I certainly do not. But of course religion needs constant re-enforcement because we all know in the recesses of the mind that it is poppycock.jadedjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569736113526368917noreply@blogger.com
