I have been sticking around the FSM board mainly just to tie up loose ends. I have noticed some interesting changes there in the tone.....
But here is my main observation: Since the book has been moderately successful, it seems that the science has been dumbed down and the marketing aspect has been played up. I still do not speak as freely as I would, and certain wanna be supermods have taken on a tone so magnanimous that the smug waves are sucking all the oxygen out.
I have seen this before. Those of you from the south may recognize the name Kenny Wayne Shephard.He was a moderately successful white blues guitarist. He made one moderately successful album in the mid 90s. Since then, he has done little except proclaim that he is the second coming of Stevie Ray Vaughn.....
I think this may be what Bobbo is experiencing. Lets face it. The FSM idea is simply a slightly modified variant of the IPU set to a more marketable form.
Hopefully, this forum will encourage more scientific discussion. As I have recently discovered that several of my colleagues are creationists, I realize what a hard job we have ahead of us. IF people who work in a heavy science field such as medical laboratory research and testing believe in creationism, what hope is there for your average high school student?
