Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

  1. What Does Reli\u00adgion Look Like At Elite Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adties?<\/a> (Ryan Burge, Sub\u00adstack): \u201cYeah, again, I am not bowled over by any huge dif\u00adfer\u00adences in the reli\u00adgious atten\u00addance of stu\u00addents at Ivy league schools ver\u00adsus non-selec\u00adtive insti\u00adtu\u00adtions. 49% of stu\u00addents who attend pres\u00adti\u00adgious schools attend church less than once a year com\u00adpared to 46% of stu\u00addents who go to a non-selec\u00adtive school. So, those at the top end are slight\u00adly less reli\u00adgious\u00adly active, but three points is cer\u00adtain\u00adly not a chasm. That\u2019s the gen\u00ader\u00adal trend here when com\u00adpar\u00ading across all types of atten\u00addance lev\u00adels. For stu\u00addents at non-selec\u00adtive schools, 19% say they attend reli\u00adgious ser\u00advices about week\u00adly or more. It\u2019s 14% of those at selec\u00adtive schools. Again, a gap, but a rel\u00ada\u00adtive\u00adly small one.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Did God cre\u00adate log\u00adic?<\/a> (J. Budziszews\u00adki, blog): \u201cTo say that He cre\u00adat\u00aded<\/em> log\u00adic would be to sug\u00adgest that He could have done dif\u00adfer\u00adent\u00adly and cre\u00adat\u00aded illog\u00adic <\/em>\u2013 that He could have allowed con\u00adtra\u00addic\u00adtions such as a man who is a don\u00adkey, or a two which is a three. But if I make a sen\u00adtence by plac\u00ading the words \u2018God can\u2019 before a string of non\u00adsense, that doesn\u2019t make the sen\u00adtence true, would it? Sen\u00adtences like \u2018Can God make a man who is not a man but a don\u00adkey?\u2019 or \u2018Can God make a two which is a three?\u2019 wouldn\u2019t even rise to the lev\u00adel of being mean\u00ading\u00adful ques\u00adtions. They would be like ask\u00ading \u2018Can God moon\u00adgog\u00adgle twee\u00addledee?\u2019 So we shouldn\u2019t say that God can\u00adnot do these things, but that they can\u00adnot be done. A lot of things are exclud\u00aded from divine omnipo\u00adtence not because God doesn\u2019t have the pow\u00ader to do them, but because in their very nature they are not \u2018doable\u2019 or pos\u00adsi\u00adble.\u201d\n
