What year is it in the agnostic calender or is that unknown?
We should be MOST skeptical of ideas we like because we are sufficiently skeptical of ideas that we don't like. Penn Jillette.

I would choose year one as 1610, which was the year Galileo decided to 'champion' the heliocentric view of the universe. Despite his own struggles with this it does marks the point where religion began to be seriously challenged by empiricism.

Maybe we ought to start it sometime around the Ionian Flowering.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Well we already use the Norse gods in our names for the days of the week. What year is it in, um, Norse?

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.

So nobody got the really subtle reference to Bertrand Russell in my last post?
