The supernaturalist may be a source for spiritual wisdom, but I wouldn't take too far the notion that he wields a particularly "sane" view of nature.

Seen any "phlogiston" lately? Have you bled your kids to relieve them of evil humours causing fevers, Theodoric? Has a Piltdown Man crossed your path of late? Don't preach to me about hokum, chap. Science is a "diversion" from important things and filled with as many wonderments as any verse you might cherry pick submit from the Bible, Dr. Hwang, stem cell provider extraordinaire.

PS I am neither a creationist nor a literalist. Roman Catholicism is fully open to evolution as one possible basis for man's existence. I am not a Darwinist, however, worshipping a secular religion that was advanced by Huxley.

I concede. Science is both irrelevant and a universal fraud. I will immediately throw away my computer, attempt to purge my system of flu vaccine, refuse to ever visit a doctor again or take any medications, eliminate all synthetic materials from my presence, put the evil genetically enhanced fruits and vegetables in the grocery store behind me, and make every effort to return to the wondrous days of yore when the volcano gods were worshiped and life was properly brutish, short, miserable, and rife with ignorance.
