You're doing fine! :D IMO, anyway. But then, I don't know what I'm doing.

I hadn't heard there's any ETA. We'll be here when you're able to get to it, Xar. Heck, it might be a good diversion for a couple hours. But do what you need to do. Our strength and support are coming at you over the monitor. (So stand back.)

Thanks! Truth is, these last few days (and the coming week, possibly) are rather busy... we have to babysit my cousin's children, among other things, and that would be enough even with nothing else brewing. In any case, I'll get to the turn as soon as I have enough time - don't worry, I'll have it ready in a week at most, I hope.

According to Richard Dawkins', a theist is someone who believes a supreme being created the universe and is still involved (forgiving sins and the like). A deist is someone who believes a supreme being created the universe but has just left it to get on with itself. A pantheist is someone who believes Nature is the supreme power.

:oops: :oops: What do you call someone who plays a game and then believes they are the god of water and the seas?

I wouldn't take notice of what Richard Dawkins says.

Pantheon = A set of Gods in a certain belief, world, etc.
Pantheist = 'God is all', God is in everything and everyone.

Albert Einstein was a sort of Pantheist. Though he was a Jew, he didn't believe in a Personal God.
Einstein could be said to be a Naturalistic Pantheist which means that he though the Universe has a whole was a mystical things(something like that). Many thought that Pantheists were atheists but lots said that this was wrong, pantheists were different from Materialist, atheists, deists and so on. Spinoza put it like this:
- the unity of all that exists;
- the regularity of all that happens; and
- the identity of spirit and nature

A belief in God but he is not personal.

That's what Dawkins wrote, I just summarised it wrong!

Anyway, you didn't answer the question!

Anybody have Quee's number? Might want to call him and let him know someone's using his account. ;)
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

BAD Syl! But you might be right, Quee should be watching MOTD. Except it hasn't started yet, so it must've been him.

I don't really trust anything which Dawkins has to say. He is nothing more than an Atheist Zealot. He calls Christians and a belief in God deluded but Einstein, Darwin, Newton, Kant and many more great philosophers/Scientists believed in God and many great intelligent Scientists/philosophers believe in God today.... I don't think they are deluded. Many atheists turn into believers i.e. Anthony Flew. Even A.J. Ayer had a near death experience and thought he was wrong(but he did admit he was wrong about Linguistic Phenomenalism and the Verification Principle... how big of him). Dawkins is still an intelligent man, though, I just don't like people who go around rubbishing belief, etc. Mini Rant over, sorry.

In answer to your question... I don't know.

EDIT: I'll be watching MOTD in a minute... Championship is better because I get to watch Saints.

I didn't know Richard Dawkins was so sophisticated. You'd certainly never get that from Family Feud. Although he did a great job on Hogan's Heroes, and was positively brilliant at the final matches of Match Game. Still...
