Hi Richard Ruquist 

The fundamentalists are wrong in thinking that the Bible is a science textbook.
The scientists are wrong in believing that they need to disprove a spiritual, 
nonscientific message.

Let science be science and the Bible be the Bible.

Stephan,

You seem to agree with me but missed my point.
Scientists are willing to adjust their thinking when new information
is available.
Fundamentalists are not because all the important information is ancient.
You may argue correctly that not all scientists are left wing
and not all fundamentalists are right wing.
You may also argue correctly that important information
such as economics is not ancient.
But I claim that my broad brush characterizations
are more accurate that Roger's.

 Dear Richard,

 As I read your post above I was filled with a large diversity of
 emotions and ruminated a long time over whether or not to respond to it. I
 think that you might appreciate a different point of view. I happened to
 have been raised by a family that was a prototypical Bible Thumper even to
 the point that my parents where missionaries to a foreign country where I
 learned via home schooling. I discovered after many years that it is only
 a very small minority of people that actually live their lives under the
 belief that everything is ordained by a person-like God. I also
 discovered, as I have continued my education, that there is another minority
 that believe that everything is ordained but not by some kind of person
 but instead by inhuman entities named boundary conditions and initial
 conditions. What is the real difference other than naming conventions?

 Could you stop for a moment and think about the idea that nothing at all
 is ordained and that the concept is a fiction that we have habituated
 ourselves into believing merely because it gives us a comfortable illusion
 of control. Humans are strange creatures, if they can't control things
 themselves they will accept that someone else that is a friend controls
 things, but get all crazy angry at even the hint that someone else could
 control things to the disadvantage of the home team. Control freaks, we are
 such control freaks that we are entirely missing the point of it all. Laws
 of Nature are merely a concept we invented to explain things to ourselves,
 no one has the power to control all things. Power is a delusion.

 I challenge you to write about one example of a real person that is well
 known as a Leftist that does not believe that everything is ordained by
 something. You should spend a little time thinking hard about what you are
 saying here as it is a massive exercise in self-contradiction.

 Onward!

No, as rich exists in all classes, and in all societies.


Hating the rich is either the very old jealousy, or sometimes the natural hate 
of bandits when the rich have become rich through lies and stealing, or when 
they use their fortune to get richer by dishonest means (like with prohibition, 
whose benefits in mostly reinjected in corrupting government to continue 
prohibition).
