    Free Will, Predestination and Time

    I'm posting this under Kitchen Sink, because I want those not claiming Christianity to be able to contribute. Within what I say here, I want it understood, though, that I am assuming the meaning of 'God' to be, among other things, the absolute Omnipotent, a person, (i.e. not a mere mechanical...

    I thought some of these were pretty hilarious. From Gerald Dworkin's new book: What I hated most about Kuhn’s lectures was the combination of obscurantism and dogmatism. On one hand, he was extremely dogmatic. On the other, it was never clear about what. —Errol Morris on Thomas Kuhn Some...
