hehe, small quote and some calibrations from Dr. Hawkins from his most recent lecture, "God vs. Science":

God vs. Science - two different paradigms.

“Ism” – you can be secular but don’t push it onto somebody else, as in secularism – 165.

God Delusion – 190 - He has the delusion that God is a delusion. From his paradigm of reality, God is a delusion because it’s not provable.

Richard Dawkins – He missed it by one letter!

Anti-Religionism – 180
Scientism – 190

Whatever you put your faith in as the ultimate truth becomes your religion!

Natural skepticism – 195 (I don’t believe skepticism should be natural in a normal human being!)

Narcissistic Reductionism – 185
Vanity of the ego (pride) – 190
Atheism – 165

Skepticism – 160 People who have faith in their own thinkingness. They have profound faith in their own skepticism. To the skeptic, the nonlinear domain has no reality and anyone who believes in God is an idiot.

Nihilism – 120
The God Gene (Dean Hammer) 190
Negation of Faith 90
Negate Nonlinear Reality (context) 90
Crick: Source of Consciousness
is Neuronal 140
