We know that different civilizations have popped up at different times, in places far and wide. Yet it certainly can and should be said, that of all these other civilizations, none were born with such grandeur or majesty. The monuments and museums full of antiquities attest to the staying power of such worthy beginnings, or perhaps http://www.anti-socialengineering.com/2011/02/egypt-21st-century-enlightenment.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brian Taylor)2 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Mkk_H5uvDGwHxBRuWd4ptMkAB-Y/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Mkk_H5uvDGwHxBRuWd4ptMkAB-Y/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Mkk_H5uvDGwHxBRuWd4ptMkAB-Y/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Mkk_H5uvDGwHxBRuWd4ptMkAB-Y/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301089905515818555.post-4359796975536754512Sat, 05 Feb 2011 16:17:00 +00002011-02-05T08:17:17.888-08:00I have been a quiet member of the Zeitgeist movement since it's beginning in 2008. I  say "quiet" because there are two fundamental problems with the program that must be addressed before I throw my weight behind them: 1.) The idea of a resource based economy is a fine idea, the transition is not addressed at all. (How are we going to get there?) and 2.)

Atheists do not have a monopoly on scientific or rational thinking, regardless of what Richard Dawkins says. I know what a belief is and I'm entitled to mine.  My argument for the existence of God is simple. Matter and Anti-Matter are real.
