Taylor, I appreciate that fact that you use qualifiers such as “seem to believe”, “prefer to believe”, “pretty much”, “not much”. I accept your skeptical approach.
I also appreciate your belief(s) about QM, Deepak Chopra, post- modernism and knuckleheads. To be clear, my intention of posting the link to such a short yet, to me, measured analysis of how “The current ideology of evolution is entwined with the metaphysical beliefs of nineteenth-century reductionism, set within a universe that is causally closed to all nonphysical influences.” …was only to present another view to current dogma as an attempt to support my previous post which you questioned. I don’t remember your personal ontology nor can I tell what it is from your comments here. So, I can not in good faith discuss this further with you. Since “This freethought group consists of atheists, agnostics, skeptics, freethinkers and so forth. This forum is for open and critical discussions of ideas, concepts, religion, and so forth. Personal attacks are discouraged.”, I didn’t expect snarky and entrenched reactions. Silly me. On Sep 16, 3:14 pm, Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > <<information and/or data is found everywhere.
