While the physics posts are probably valuable, the remainder consists of yet another god/religion/belief/physics blog that tries to privilege an idea with no evidence (christianity) over other ideas with no evidence (flying spaghetti monster.)
To the author: I'm sure that you think your blog could be important or useful, and I'm sure that these are big, important questions for you. However, they're not, as such, open questions: they are already resolved.
The plain fact of the matter is that an uncaring, nihilistic universe built on simple laws is a better forward predictor than christianity, by a ridiculously large, many orders of magnitude margin. No amount of blogging or rationalizing is going to change that, and IMHO blogs like this do more of a disservice to global rationality than a service.
Downvoting. Reason: apologist, effort better spent elsewhere, do not wish to promote.
I disagree with you, but I upvoted because I want to promote polite criticism of ideas and I liked that you explained your downvote.
Thank you.
Out of curiosity, which aspect of my post did you disagree with?
I think that putting a sharp divide between theism and rationality will just alienate intelligent theists. I think we need MORE people talking intelligently about religion, not fewer.
