I think you'll find that everyone is grappling with the more difficult questions. Duff, if you think these are “soft on religion” I think you need to read the links.

A nasty little indictment of religion and superstitious thinking if there ever was one.

It's well worth reading and really does orient the issue well. I think there are some problems with it. The biggest one is underneath a certain false dichotomy. There's also the issue of what we mean when we discuss either science or religion in cases like this. Just a note – I made a reply to Jeffrey’s long post on the problem of science and religion.

As the link suggests, most attempts to explain away Dark Matter don't work that well. However the big problem at the moment is the relatively huge gap between experimentalists and theoreticians. It's finally starting to come to a head I think. It'll be interesting to see the landscape of theoretical physics in ten years. I think a lot of people are starting to get frustrated with the lack of progress. Jeffrey, I'd love to do that. Let me finish my current projects though. That book is in my queue of books to read. I'm just finishing <i>Junius and Joseph</i> and then <i>Rough Stone Rolling</i>. <i>In Gods We Trust</i> is the next non-philosophy book I plan reading after Bushman.
