You can see where Arnie's "I know the Truth, I will
instruct you in
it" attitude comes from :-)

**Poor ******* must be in constant conflict. He *claims*
to hold himself to scientific principles, yet maintains
that the supernatural is a normal part of life. He is, of
course, like all religious nutters, seriously deluded.

Arny applies science where he finds it appropriate, which is
pretty much where you would, were you capable.

**Huh? Science is all there is. Anything else is bunk. Science tells me that
Arny's religious beliefs are impossible.


For the rest, to which you are sadly oblivious, he applies
Christianity. Not my choice, but at least it's a start.

**No, it's not. Religion is fundamentally anti-science, logic and rational
thinking. It is the very worst place to start.

His
church seems quite modern, which is a good sign.

**No such thing as a "modern church". They're all based on an anti-science
rationale.

At least
he's not about to blow himself up.

**Now you're splitting hairs. They probably said the same thing about the
Jonestown bunch. ALL religious belief is bunk. ALL rely on forcing adherents
to remove the rational part of their thinking.


Perhaps you're just upset coz you can't do prophecy?

**Not so much. It is an impossibility. Rational prediction, based on past
and present developments is, of course, a different thing.

Wouldn't you like to learn?

**I can already do all the prophecy I need to. I can predict the following
(within a reasonable degree of accuracy):

* Oil will cost more in 10 years than it does today.
* The planet's temperature will continue to rise for the next 50 years.
* The planet's population will rise to 9 billion within the next 40 years.


Is small science all you want
from life?

**Nope. I am also interested in big science too.
