science becomes religion

from allentown, pa's "morning call:"

"Is intelligent design a form of creationism, as its critics maintain, or a scientific belief as its supporters say? Does the intelligent designer have to be God, making the intelligent design concept inherently religious, or could it be something else? At what point does science become religion and vice versa?"

we are loving this whole discussion. it is about time that people get into the grey zone (yes, including us), stop standing in their black or white squares, thinking that is all there is. of course, legal arguments are all about black or white, aren't they? but still, we are optimistic that at least SOME of the folks out there are getting a little bit mind-blown by all this science vs religion talk.

grinding on the inside

sometimes we just wish that we could break the rules and do what we secretly want to do without guilt without the weight of other people's pain. seduce our therapist. sleep with our best male friend -- who is married and just had his second child, but begs us for it three times a week. take the annoying kitten by the neck and twist until he goes limp.

we would like to know what is causing the pain. but it's just not forthcoming. liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen. stomach, small intestine, colon, kidney. everybody checks out. but still the pain.
