The whole NaNoWriMo thing done and over with, I find myself with twitchy fingers more and more, and the tendency to gobble herbal supplements isn't ending just because I finished what I set out to do some time ago

Very thoughtful of you!

I, too, find it ironic that the people who are so excited about how openminded they are also have their own boundaries of what they will and will not consider.

Have you ever read The Philosophical Scientists (David Foster)?

Really. What makes you think scientists HAVENT considered these things from thousands of angles?

I'm all for open criticism of ideas. Every opinion is worth listening to.

But seriously considering the merit of poorly reasoned ideas based completely in opinion or faith, I'm not in support of.

IE, creationism and ID.
I could tell you why, and give you a point by point breakdown of nearly every single creationist anti-evolution "argument" but thats a very long rant.

it certainly is an interesting habit of humanity to close its ears on ideas that don't fit the current "popular" paradigm. consider, for example, that it was not so very long ago when men were ridiculed, even exiled, for suggesting a heliocentric system, or that the Earth was round. well said, sir.
