Tre måndagstips

Kristina aktualiserar en gammal önskan om ett ord i svenskan, som förkortar "att be om någons förbön".
Förresten: Vem är förvånad över att det just råkade vara anrika kultiverade tidningen Expressen som behövde hjälp med meningsbyggnad och uttryck i svenska språket?

Dag listar några Frequently asked questions om Guds rike

Pekka filosoferar kring begreppet "Magiskt tänkande" och inbillning.








Gammal post: Verb som förkortar "Att be om någons förbön" efterlyses!

Utdrag från Peter Woits blogg:

"Vanity Fair seems to think that the right person to review a book about Isaac Newton is Christopher Hitchens.
Hitchens devotes much of the piece to condemning Newton as “a crank and a recluse and a religious bigot” who “spent much of his time dwelling in a self-generated fog of superstition and crankery.” He feels the same way about most scientists before the modern era, noting that:
"It may not be until we get to Albert Einstein that we find a true scientist who is also a sane and lucid person with a genial humanism as part of his world outlook—and even Einstein was soft on Stalin and the Soviet Union.
He ends the piece by accusing Newton of doing everything he could to keep people from understanding the universe, and claiming that this was typical of physicists until recently, when physics began to become indistinguishable from the humanities" "
