Tonight Art Bell was talking to Dr. Sean Carroll,Senior Research Associate in Physics at Caltech, and he stuck to his normal form in his hatred for Christianity.
In the last hour of the show he asked his guest if he thought that North America's lack of funding for research into deep theoretical ideas and experimentation (like particle accelerators) was because the answers that would come to light would present "alternate answers to God" and Christians couldn't handle that.
So, according to Bell, Christians in the USA are so stupid that they refuse to fund science because it will challenge their ideas of Jesus and God.
This hatred of Christianity of his has blinded him to the simple fact that there would BE no advances in science if it weren't for Christians in both America and Europe. Nearly ALL the great advances are a result of western, Christian societies.
But,"logic" and "thought" is NOT something that can easily come to the host of a show that claims bigfoot is roaming the countryside and aliens are hovering above his studio every night!
Besides, what do you want from a guy that hated his own country so much he had to move to Southeast Asia?? He is a perfect example of a westerner who loathes his own.
how do you really feel about Art Bell?
Art has become increasingly bitter with time. I seem to recall that his son was molested by a pedophile homo, not sure I ever heard the details, but Art is not the same man I listened to years ago. I seldom turn the radio on these days, or the TV, for that matter.
Well, aside from him being a bitter ex-pat, a religion hater, a rouser of crack pots, and a purveyor of conspiracy foolishness?
Eh, I could take 'im er leave 'im!
Thats what I thought youd say
Compared to the other guy he is a conservative!
Ha, ha.
I do have to say, I've heard him support the troops in Iraq, tho.
(There ain't nuthin else to listen to this late at night)
Many freepers kindly helped to get a FRhomepage organized on Internet Explorer. It should look organized, now.
Because they aren't mentioned in the Bible, silly! ; )
Exactly, God has endowed man with an ability to mature spiritually as well as scientifically. We are made in his image and it is God's desire that we grow and excel in all that we do. God is not threatened by our ability to expand our knowledge and to investigate His creation. The more we learn and create the more we realize just how unbelievably magnificent is His creation and how worthy He is of our praise and worship. Explore away!
820 on the dial!
Honestly, you sound nuttier than Art.
Agreed with you on the move overseas. When he was on more often he frequently mentioned how he almost "went native" when serving in the Far East during his Air Force time.
I disagree with what he says on the air a lot, but I think he also tends to side with whomever he's interviewing and I think, given his audience and guests, that's a good idea. Logic and facts ain't their strong suits.
Hehe, Art's too stupid 'hate God', he's more apathetic than anti-American. And his dearly departed wife was a witch so, one can see why folks might think he hates God, but I don't think he does really.
He's just a guy with a great set of pipes and a bit of a dim bulb. Irksome? indeed, but oddly fascinating, like a train wreck. -Better than a sleeping pill.
You're on the right track. Somehow religion and politics have been conflated (contra confused) and conservatism becomes a mere appendage of evangelic Christianity, rather than its peer. The confusion of commercialism-capitalism with conservative values is involved in the loss of the Super conducting Super Collider to the Space Transport System shuttles.
Fermilab is ensconced in liberal land and Texas gets a 16-lane super-speedway to somewhere else.
Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns. Merry Christmas
Moving to the Phillipines was the only way Bell could get a day job!
Who cares. Coast to Coast is good for a laugh sometimes, though.
That's what you get for listening to Art Bell.
