Shermer Vs. Chopra, Round Two 2010-09-22T12:28:00-05:00 Jeffrey L. Falick

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

On the same day that I posted my modest comments about Michael Shermer vs. Deepak Chopra, Shermer put an hysterical and informative piece on Skeptiblog. Here’s a priceless example comparing the traditional deity to the new one that Chopra is concocting:

God 1.0

God 2.0

omnipresent

fully man/fully God

miracles

leap of faith

transubstantiation

Council of Rome

supernatural forces

heaven

hell

eternity

prayer

the Godhead

the Trinity

forgiveness of sin

virgin birth

resurrection

non-local

wave/particle duality

wave-function collapse

quantum leap

Heisenberg uncertainty principle

Copenhagen interpretation

anti-matter

dark energy

dark matter

space/time continuum

quantum entanglement

general relativity

special relativity

quantum erasure

quantum decoherence

virtual reality

Michael Shermer is one of the best science writers around. He is responsible for Skeptic magazine and a regular columnist for Scientific American. In the months to come I will review his outstanding book, Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time.
