Christianity in the science fiction of Cordwainer Smith: an article by James Jordan

Quotes and comments;
- although I found this article interesting, I would highly recommend reading some Cordwainer Smith before reading it. (I find that if you read what a story's (supposedly) about before you read it it's hard to get that view of the story out of your head. It's also more fun to read a story for yourself, before you find out what other people think about it.)

The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time; A review by Peter Williams of a book by Douglas Adams

Quotes and comments;

1. 'Perhaps unsurprisingly then, Adams drifted away from Christianity and into Atheism: "I really do not believe that there is a god - in fact I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one." (p. 96.)
- people like Adams don't see any evidence for god because they put their experience of the universe through the 'shedder' called naturalism. This process (sometimes called materialism, or logical positivism) so distorts things that no evidence (intelligent message) can be seen.
