"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
I haven’t had a chance to really dig into the debate between Bill Nye The Science Guy and Ken Ham The Creation Man. At work we’re busy doing some new software releases and in my free time I’m also busy trying to finish off my series about the March For Life.
So, in the absence of time, here are a couple of nice responses, the first from Strange Notions and the other from Bad Catholic:
As I previously mentioned, over the next few days I’m going to be publishing some posts in response to a discussion which took place on my Facebook wall while I was at the March For Life in Washington DC.
Some of my friends had reacted negatively to the fact that I was at the March, while others defended my presence at the demonstration, as well as the pro-life position in general.
As I sat in Ronald Reagan Airport at 1am, catching up on this Facebook thread, it was clear that there had been a certain amount of miscommunication between my friends. Now, I think a certain amount of miscommunication is somewhat inevitable, but I would suggest that we can be proactive in ensuring the discussion is productive. This is the subject that I’d like to address in this post.
