I didn't see the Haggard interview first time around. I stopped it after he claimed to not be arrogant. That was about the best display of contradictory arrogance I think I have ever seen. I think I need to go shower now.
I concur. I only hope that, by the grace of God, I would not be so defensive in the face of my critics.
I still don't understand why there is such a dichotomy of thought espoused by members of both the religious and scientific communities. I suppose it sells their books and gets them minutes on the talk show circuit and expands their respective audience. It seems like such a manufactured struggle, though. If only they were smart, like me (see, I'm not arrogant either).
There are some who probably have such motives, but I think some see genuine, important disagreement worth fighting for. I am of the latter persuasion, but I don't see nearly as much conflict as Haggard and his ilk.
What strikes me as tragic is that Haggard's ignorance of science is matched only by Dawkins' ignorance of what it means to be a Christian, or any other sort of rational believer for that matter.
Agree. The lack of understanding by both parties was disappointing.
Glad to see your blogging at full steam once again. I enjoyed the "Best Of" list.
