When the gods are shaken from the sky,
there's a scientific reason why.
There's no wish to replace them
and no-one's rushing in to win
the race to fill the empty space

Estranged Notions: Why the Church is Ahead of Mathematicians on Ecumenical Dialogue
Today's post is from Stacy Trasancos:

Estranged Notions: The Opening of the Scientific Mind
The post that, apparently, was where the carnage started:
The Opening of the Scientific Mind
This article was the latest of many attempts by the Catholic contributors to argue for pre-defined limits on science (a common demand from theists, as though without a proper fence, the ravening science-beast will trample over their territory).
I will repost here some of my more substantive comments, but they are mostly responses to other commenters rather than the article itself.
