What's interesting about that approach in my opinion is that it really is taking apples to compare oranges... completely different epistemological paradigm for contemporary scientific method than that type of thinking which is kinda pre-Newtonian. It's like using Newtonian physics to explain quantum physics.... of course there's going to be HUGE GAPING HOLES because the intial premise (the basic building blocks) is completely different.
While I was seething at home in front of my computer, I looked at his recommended websites, always curious to see what the other side is thinking, and started looking for alternative websites to offer. The atheist websites I browsed are either just as unhelpfully antagonistic or utterly vague. But then Wikipedia amazed me once again with a fairly thorough look at the different views on the Existence of God. I really appreciated it, helped me wrap my brain around the positions of atheism... which, as a devout theist, I've often had trouble understanding. So, I posted that as an alternative reading source... and no one has bothered me. Guess it didn't really offend anyone... huh. Go figure.
Just don't be trying to scientifically prove the existence of God to me, that riles me up. Wonder why, since I'm Kansas born and bred? :) Besides, I really don't see any point. I have all the proof I need, but it's not exactly measurable by scientific means. ;) Really, that guy did me a favor, I learned a few things I didn't know before, maybe I should thank him.
