   I absolutely *love* (not!) how this thread is currently and simultaneously   
   about (at least) 3 different (and unrelated) things:   
      
       1) Somebody named Bob Beckwith (with a little bit of Dubya hagiography   
   	thrown in)   
       2) The Chicago and Peshtigo fires.   
       3) The continuing technical failings of Mr. BS.   
      
   Truly, and art form, this.   
      
   --   
   The key difference between faith and science is that in science, evidence that   
   doesn't fit the theory tends to weaken the theory (that is, make it less   
   likely to   
   be believed), whereas in faith, contrary evidence just makes faith stronger (on   
   the assumption that Satan is testing you - trying to make you abandon your   
   faith).
