Well, I think they wanted to get an authoritative answer. The
percentages were lower than what I usually see on Memes - quite
a lot lower in fact - so that was interesting. The whole
"science and religion can't mix" thing is a holdover from the
19th century thing anyway. It got resurrected in the late 90s
and blossomed into a movement. But at least here it shows some
numbers that tones it down a little. That's not to say I
wouldn't be equally skeptical of this study as I would any
other. I'd need to see who funded the study and all that stuff,
especially if I like the results. I try to be more critical of
what I agree with. But it was interesting enough to share in any
case but tomorrow I'll look into it and see if I still want to
keep this up or not. I try to be careful of what I consider
factual, especially with studies. But the numbers seemed to jive
with what I already thought, so i don't expect issues. Never
know though - that's why I enjoy research. == true enough smile
emoticon I just like real-world puzzles and being a contrarian -
that's why I like research. == I suppose in my case... hm,
that's a good question. Am I trying to prove that I'm right
about something? I guess - I guess what I try to find is ways to
tone down hyperbole. == I'm a bit of a hippie-dippie peacenik at
heart. I want to see people getting along. == Thanks Jay. I have
hope for humanity. I mean, we'll all be dead in the end and
plastic will take over or we'll turn the earth inside out, but
'til then, I figure our lives are temporary enough as it is so
might as well get along. == George was one of my childhood
heroes for sure. Formed a lot of my philosophy. Just mashup
George Carlin + Mr. Rogers and you got me, more or less. I
expect fighting though. I expect to be wrong most of the time. I
expect to be misunderstood. I expect to have to explain myself
77 different ways before someone 'gets' what I'm talking about,
because I'm not as good at communication as I ought to be. So, I
keep working at it. I enjoy the challenge.
