The Atheist Rabbi
On the same day that I posted my modest comments about Michael Shermer vs. Deepak Chopra, Shermer put an hysterical and informative piece on Skeptiblog. Here’s a priceless example comparing the traditional deity to the new one that Chopra is concocting:
|
God 1.0
|
God 2.0
|
|
omnipresent
fully man/fully God
miracles
leap of faith
transubstantiation
Council of Rome
supernatural forces
heaven
hell
eternity
prayer
the Godhead
the Trinity
forgiveness of sin
virgin birth
resurrection
|
non-local
wave/particle duality
wave-function collapse
quantum leap
Heisenberg uncertainty principle
Copenhagen interpretation
anti-matter
dark energy
dark matter
space/time continuum
quantum entanglement
general relativity
special relativity
quantum erasure
quantum decoherence
virtual reality

Michael Shermer is one of the best science writers around. He is responsible for Skeptic magazine and a regular columnist for Scientific American. In the months to come I will review his outstanding book, Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time.
