Jumping from the 20 tenets thread.... Cassius, I was curious about Victor Stenger from reading the SofE post that I indirectly linked to in the tenets thread. From browsing on Amazon, his book God and the Atom looks to be exactly what I'm looking for: a discussion of particle theory from an Epicurean perspective. I think I'll start with that book and see where it leads me.

Oops I crossed posts with your last 2. Is the Epicurean Atomism essay online or just in the CCtoE book?

Cassius I'll dive into God and the Atom after the new year, hopefully I won't drown! I'll post as I come up for air

(Quote) Elayne, I've never heard the phrase "god of the gaps", but that's exactly why I'm interested in this topic. Many of the terms thrown around from modern physics can lead the uninformed layman such as myself to consider such an idea. To address that I'm attempting to get more informed, and from what I gather Stenger's book takes that on pretty directly. We'll see!
