Conversation Among Friends

Exerpt from Peggy Noonan's article: "Cold Standard": 

I will be in Florida April 21-28.  I don't blog while on vacation.  Still, VERY interested in responding to a number of threads.  - Joey

Theresa sent me this since it was circulating withing Dow. My response was:

Peter pointed me to the recent commentary by Collins on CNN.com titled:
"Collins: Why this scientist believes in God" (link)

There was also a profile of Collins that I read in the LA Times last year (link). 

Folks,

Bob Haley and I once worked on a calculation of the entropic penalty associated with numerous "Incorruptables" found in Christendom.  I would like to try to finish the analysis and provide some evidence for incorruptability - one way or another.

I'll dig up some links too that refer to this phenomenon - which, by the way, is the occurrence of a body (typically a saint) that has been exhumed beyond the normal 12+ years required for total decay and found to be fresh, flexable, and fragrant.

All,

I am wondering about your opinions regarding the use of statistics in faith-based arguments?

Joey

Darwinism as theory:

 It seems that we need to be clear about the difference between a scientific theory and a fact. 

 Am I right?

I just had an argument at the coffee machine with , who tried to convince me, that the world was actually created in seven OR six CONSECUTIVE days of 24 hours. And that the Bible consists of FACTS, NOT metaphors. And that HUMANS WERE CREATED, while plants and animals could have evolved.
