We try not to take sides here at portfoliolongo.com because there are so many sides to take. It’s complicated. We have discovered that once in a while two or more sides can be taken at the same time either because of the structure of the inquiry, or because it’s just funny, or both.

Disagree. There is evidence based inquiry and there is willful ignorance. Don’t elevate ignorance and superstition; don’t give it a platform, ever.

Totally agree wuth Dwtno. What a great argument for creationism.

I want to thank you and Dwtno for the opportunity to learn a hermeneutical lesson here and be a little clearer! I thought the image of the two ways of using a telescope – one correct, the other incorrect – would be a clear-enough representation of my position on this, but I can now see how my commentary might have contradicted the folly that I intended to illustrate. Thanks for tuning in!!!!

Paul- I thought your intent was fairly clear. Some will always see, hear, and find one side of an issue. Keep ’em coming.

You know…I’m thinking now that my sarcastic reply to Dwtno may not have been clear either. Like you said…complicated.

And now I’m responding to Dwtno again and surely taking this too far….but…What is wrong with providing ‘platform’ for other points of view? Willful ignorance may, in fact, apply here after all.

As an anthropologist and a former ordained monk, you’d think I could’ve written something better and funnier in that initial commentary on a subject like this! What else can I say at this point?
