I guess pointing out to these guys that post hoc ergo propter hoc is a fallacy wouldn't do much good.

As for Francis Collins, his cockamamie book is reviewed here:

Review of "The Language of God"

In essence, the book appears to support the proposition that to feel that there's a deity is to know that there's a deity.

Timothy Leary would've been pleased...

Pardon my cynicism, but I can't shake the feeling that Collins is in it for the money: the royalties, the many talk show and church and campus speaking engagements with their honoraria, and an almost inevitable award from the Templeton people.
