Quote (CeilingCat @ June 22 2017,07:11) | Quote | At age 42, Wright converted from atheism to Christianity, citing a profound religious experience with visions of the "Virgin Mary, her son, and His Father, not to mention various other spirits and ghosts over a period of several days", and stating that prayers he made were answered. In 2008, he converted to the Roman Catholic Church, of which he approvingly said: "If Vulcans had a church, they'd be Catholics." |
Wikipedia - John C Wright
His picture is worth the visit to Wikipedia. A very Serious Author who wears a Serious Author beard and a Serious Author hat, all circa 1953.
This man was made for Uncommon Descent. |
Absolutely, he's been quite popular for years over at FSTDT.

I wonder how he reconciles being Vulcan Catholic and rejecting evolution. He posts over on Vox Popoli's blog from time to time and I'm pretty sure he was involved with all the Sad Puppy or Tard Puppy (whatever) anti-feminist BS that was trying to subvert some awards. Hugo Awards maybe? (again, whatever)
A year ago at Vox's place ...
Quote | My claim is that rightwingers have not blocked or opposed any legitimate scientific research since the dawn of time. Nearly all the major scientific advances were make by Churchmen, or by men at universities founded by the Church, and the Church is the most conservative institute there is.
Leftist are antiscience by definition: Marx defined Marxism as the rebellion against the science of economics, and the promise that you could get something for nothing; Lysenko in Russia, lya Ivanovich Ivanov and his human-ape hybrids, Leftwing nutbag Hitler driving Einstein out of Germany and into America's conservative arms, all, all, all are examples of Leftists substituting politics for science and calling it science.
The idea that conservatives are antiscience is comical. And the only argument to be found is that we don't want tax money wasted on teaching junk science like Darwinism in school, or to fund anti-Second-Amendment propaganda by Leftists? |
and Friday before last ...
Quote | But technically, Darwinism is not science, because it rests on non-empirical assumptions about matter not open to empirical proof or disproof. You cannot hand me a telescope and show me the apeman giving birth to man, or man giving birth to superman. You cannot even breed peas and make them into something other than peas. |
Genius.
ETA - Whoops, missed that there was a whole page left where this was already sorted. Sorry.
