One could ask that I stop reading it! As many other porchers are probably privately politely asking... Honestly, it's not a question of like or dislike. Bland feels many of Weinberg's arguments are basically beside the point, for most part, and some are merely speculations built on top of other speculations, equally as arcane as those he is protesting. And he is arguing against a specific concept of God, a benevolent, vaguely anthropomorphic God. Father Oakes' comments are reasonably appropriate, bland feels: Weinberg continually returns his argument to a concept that he personally finds irritating. Bland is simply not convinced, and is more inclined to believe that Weinberg sees less clearly and objectively than he believes he does. That is no detraction from his genius as a scientist or anything else. It is a statement about his limited condition as a man and a human being.
