Carl Sagan is one of the very few people who can render me teary-eyed reliably.

How does he KNOW matter is much older than Life?

I love when science expands knowledge, but i feel incomfortable when wild guessing is presented as scientific verified truth.
Sounds just like religious dogma to me.

Dogma of the Day

When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” ----- Revelation 6: 12-17

An Open Invitation

If anyone would like to write a guest post, I'd be eager to have you do so. We've already had a couple and I think the more the merrier, in this case. Right? What kind of posts would I like to see? 1. Posts that cover a specific religous topic, book, or movie 2. Posts that tell a personal story of escaping your former faith, or a personal story about your current faith structure. 3. Posts that make a specfic argument about God, and why you believe, or do not believe. 4. Posts that cover anything about skepticism, doubt, philosophy or science. 5. Posts that discuss a political issue tied to either side of the Separation of Church & State debate. Who would I like to hear from? Anyone, but particularly ministers, priests, rabbis and monks. Anyone in a position of authority in a religion. I'd like to have men/women of the cloth join the debate as much as possible. So if you're out there, and you're a preacher, then let's hear your thoughts on CCD. So far, your silence has been deafening. If you're interested, contact me via the comment lines and I'll get in touch with you right away. CCD, Ben 10/11/08
