My degree is in physics. Although I never claimed to be very good at physics (honestly) I do at least know a little bit about the implications of the laws of thermodynamics. I'm happy to have anonymous comments on the blog . . . BUT . . . I would respectfully request that real science is used instead of pseudo-science and scientism. The 2nd law of thermodynamics was explained much more eloquently by Luke Scientiae, who also left a comment about the dragon that Carl Sagan kept in his garage.
Meanwhile, I have been watching a movie which I didn't expect to enjoy. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's 'Hot Fuzz' was great but 'Run Fatboy Run' and 'Sean of the Dead' were not quite as entertaining for me. However, I hadn't realised that their latest movie 'Paul' is full of comment about evolution and atheism in America. It has had me laughing while writing.
Maybe I should learn a bit from the end where Paul responds to a blessing "God be with you" with the casual reply "Yeah . . . whatever dude, sure!"
I vote for Paul as the atheist movie of the year.
Small note: Not sure I can do that when people use scientism though. I suppose the message is that if you prefer me not to be patronising then perhaps you should not leave scientistic comments for me to be patronising about.
