| | Re: Religious Musings | Quote: | |  | | | | | | | | The writer of the editorial's got a point, even though I see Rees's reasons for accepting it: 1) Dinero!!! Who wouldn't accept a million pounds. 2) Rees is approaching the subject from the point of view that everyone should get along. Which is a good thing in itself, but as you can read in the article, The Templeton Foundation is no friend of science. This is the equivalent of a foreigner accepting cash from the SVP/UDC for being "one of the good ones" (even though TF don't have anywhere close to the political influence).
So I don't see the big deal and completely understand why Rees would accept the award and the cash. At worst, I find him a bit naive.

The intellectuals would then be debating what is more believable, Resurrection of OBL or White House statements.
