God enough

We should see the ceaseless creativity of nature as sacred, argues biologist Stuart Kauffman, despite what Richard Dawkins might say.

    Here we go again

    And once again, we get the Pavlovian bell, bringing on the usual division of comment labor. A majority of condescending atheists called Kauffman's ideas infantile nonsense, a minority of spiritual folks arguing in favor of them, and too few people who can set aside their own biases long enough to actually look at what the man is saying.

    Sigh. 200+ self-referential attempts to say, "Look how evolved/spiritually democratic I am!" Have at it, folks. I'm going to watch Jon Stewart.
