The semi-annual update...
It looks to be about the time to update blogger to let people know I am not dead, but STILL posting (although not super frequently) over at Matt Jones' Random Acts of Verbiage @mattjonesblog.com! So come visit me there. It's a better place to be!

Still not here...
I wanted to post a brief update because the info in my previous post is now inaccurate. My previous blogs no longer exist! All my blogging can be found at Matt Jones' Random Acts of Verbiage. All my posts (including the majority of the posts from my old blogs) can be found at my Matt Jones Blog archive. Stop by and say hi!

I must be joking, right? Nope, it is true, I have moved once again. The new domain with new blogging software can be found over at mattjonesblog.com.
You should stop by and see what I have to say and then comment, it will be fun, really.
You can see my previous posts over at jonesverbiage.com and mattithyahu.modblog.com (or the mattithyahu.modblog archives).
Shalom

Where I REALLY really live...
As modblog has been having issues as of late, I have decided to start migrating to a new blog. All my archives at Modblog will stay at mattithyahu.modblog.com but hopefully there will be more stability over at jonesverbiage.com. Hope to see you there!

Aliens Cause Global Warming
Yes, that is right, they do. Well, ok, maybe indirectly. This is actually a serious article (actually a lecture) by Michael Crichton. Everyone should go read all of this: http://www.americandigest.org/a-list/archives/001510.php
I thought this was pretty insightful.
Quoted from somwhere else by a friend:
"I think that this is an excellent article and an excellent insight, but I also think that Crichton is overly optimistic about the past of scientific endeavor. Sientists are people, and people are not objective beings. Now, we can train oursxelves to be more objective, but at the very point that you begin to claim pure objectivity-which scientists have been prone to from the beginning of science-you betray a big ole blind spot. "
Many of the topics raised I think are interesting things to research, such as the search for ET, but I think the problem that arises is that people become blinded by what they are looking into. Ideally we should all be completly objective, but it doesn't always work like that. If someone starts to call themself completly objective (which I think a lot of really intense scientists often do, possibly evolutionists.... another issue completly) they are fooling themselves, the scientific community, and the (often ignorant) genearal public who have no reason to think the scientists AREN'T completly objective. It seems that policy can often come from those who consider themselves completly objective but really have no (or little) clue about what they are talking about. Science should be left to scientists and policy should be left to policy makers. The former should inform the latter but not the other way around.
Anyone read it and have any thoughts?
