		<description><![CDATA[When we see thinking that is wrong we have to say, in the kindest and most helpful tone possible, perhaps, that it is wrong. For example, the earth is roughly 4 billion years old. If someone wants to claim it is 10,000 years old, they need to be told they are wrong. The writings of [...]]]></description>

Ball is arguing that it is folly to outright dismiss religious thinking as incompatible with science. He thinks that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just want to chime in on <a href="http://buddhism.about.com/b/2008/07/11/the-cracker-case.htm">the PZ Myers thing vs. Catholics thing</a>.

It is not rational to expect people to hold sacred what you hold sacred. As PZ said in a recent post on the controversy: <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/07/rolls_eyes_its_a_cracker_peopl.php"><em>Your personal sense of the sacred in a piece of bread dough is absurd to me and imposes on me no sense of obligation</em></a>.]]></description>

These are the lot that Myers and Dawkins tend to not talk about because they make sense. I still tend to think their theology is silly but at least it doesn&#8217;t conflict with scientific principles. I found this quote interesting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over at scienceblogs there is a recurring argument debate about &#8220;framing&#8221;. My definition of framing is wording an argument in a manner that your audience is going to be most receptive to. It&#8217;s crafting an argument carefully with the goal of convincing people of its authenticity. Using this definition its literally self-evident that if you [...]]]></description>
