		Freud and Religion
This is a paper I wrote for a class I'm taking right now that explores the philosophical implications of the relationship between science and religion. Awesome class, taught, in part, by famous philosopher Michael Ruse. Anyways, I thought my essay (...) (18 years ago, 14-Nov-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

		Re: The Brick Testament - More Teachings of Jesus

You have now many times asserted that there can be no rational explanations for the origin of the universe, but mere repeated assertion has done nothing to convince me (or others who have chimed in) you're right about this.
