<But to mix modern experimental knowledge (as Less does) with all the imagined worlds created by primitive, pre-scientific peoples (heaven, hell, demons, angels, souls, sins, etc.) is to shame even alchemy.>
I disagree... to know that any "God" must, by definition, fit known "facts" and observations rids us of untruth.
< However, he DID expose Less as a creature having more glib than gumption.>
Don't know about that... I didn't follow their argument except a few posts. Further, Greg, being a chronic liar and misrepresenter continued to show that not only is his "substrate knowledge", belief really, is (as you point out) nothing but primative myth, but the VERY STRUCTURE of his reasoning and communication is completely driven by blind belief in the former.
<
If you want to be scientific you DON'T mix modern science with the ideas of people who knew ABSOLUTELY nothing about sperm or egg or clouds or light or germs or mitochondria or data transmission.>
Good point... better to let them bang their heads.
