I hate to say it guys but this post seems to have gone back to the dogs, er, gods. I'm sure there are other threads where we can talk god. This one's economics. Some time back Revlgking asked:
"4. What are some of the best books and studies on what our eating so much animal protein is doing to our health and the ecology?"
Now that is economics. The Upper Paleolithic economy of Northern Eurasia seems to have involved eating nothing but meat. Eskimos living a traditional existence evidently still do. I'd guess most of us descend from people involved in the Eurasiatic Upper Paleolithic. Therefore it's fair to say most of us have evolved to cope with a diet rich in meat. So what's the problem?
But on the subject of god TheFallibleFiend wrote:
"(Faith is not the same thing as "belief." People can't help their beliefs. Their faith, otoh, is something they have to keep telling themselves is true despite whatever the evidence happens to be.)"
That's a very usefull distinction TFF. Thanks for that. We form beliefs as we grow up. We adopt a faith.
