Oct 8, 2008 - Was Bob Kaufman Taoist? Sounds like it......"Somewhere a buddha sits and holds a poet and the world in separate hands and realizes he is born to die"..."a fish with frogs eyes. Creation is perfect"...

Oct 21, 2008 - A letter published in Nature in 1998 reported a survey suggesting that belief in a personal god was at an all-time low among the members of the U.S. National Academy of Science, only 7.0% of whom believed in a personal god as compared with more than 85% of the general U.S. population. A correlation indicating that religious conviction diminished with education level. An inverse correlation between religiosity and intelligence has been found by 39 studies carried out between 1927 and 2002.
