Just read this online. Functional Neuroimaging of Belief, Disbelief, and Uncertainty by Sam Harris. (http://www.samharris.org/images/uploads/Harris_Sheth_Cohen.pdf) I want so to participate in similar study.

Richard Dawkins is doing a lecture at my university in a few weeks but I missed the chance to get a ticket for it. I'm rather gutted.

The god delusion is a have to read on pain of death sort of thing. Richard dawkins is the best Teapot agnostic there is.

Aha, interesting. Thanks for the lack of sarcasm.

I had to look it up too, shmaller:

"it originated from an analogy by Bertrand Russell which centers on the philosopher's views on the existence of God. If I were to claim that there were a tiny tea pot orbiting mars, that was so small that it couldn't be seen, but I could prove with an ancient book that had been translated and edited thousands of times, the burden of proof would still be on me to prove that it existed, not on the skeptics. That isn't true however with religion. A tea pot agnostic is an atheist in the sense that he doesn't believe God exists, but can't prove that he doesn't. Just like I can't prove that there isn't a tea pot orbiting mars, I can't prove there isn't a god. I give the possibility of their existence equal merit."
