This appears to be a sample of members of just one type of organization (National Academies of Science). In any case, I suspect the views of astronomers may be more relevant. Posted August 10, 2005 7:54 PM

Wow! Bryan likes Bad Religion. As an old punker myself, I am impressed. Posted August 11, 2005 7:20 AM

You might also want to check out Minor Threat. I believe that was Graffin's band before Bad Religion. He also put out a solo album called "American Lesion" that's pretty great. Posted August 11, 2005 10:01 AM

If you have not already, please pick up a copy of 80-85. That is by far the best BR CD out there. Posted August 11, 2005 10:27 AM

Timothy, Brian Baker (Bad Rel guitarist) is the former Minor Threat (fantastic band) member, rather than Graffin. And Greg Hetson (another Bad Rel Guitarist) played with the Circle Jerks, which is another punk great that pre-dates BR. Posted August 11, 2005 10:53 AM

mcwop: Thanks for the punk rock heads up, Circle Jerks is also a great band. Although punk isn't really my favorite genre, there's some great stuff out there. Posted August 11, 2005 11:29 AM

I have never taken the time to really pick apart Graffin's stance on any issues, but his strident leftism is definitely apparent. The only thing that has puzzled me is his constant refutation in his lyrics and essays of "group mentality." I wonder how this relates to his feelings on collectivism. I guess there is a difference between individuality and individualism. I tend to find that punkers preach that one should not conform to others, and maintain your individuality, but they also fall on the collectivist side of the political spectrum.

Hi--I wrote two posts about your paper at Kitchen Table Math. If you have time to fact-check, I'll make any changes you advise. Terrifically interesting material...... Posted August 12, 2005 7:59 AM

Some years ago I ran across a study of the theological beliefs of scientists, published in Nature. Particularly interesting was that an essentially identical survey had been done about a hundred years earlier, allowing comparisons of changes in beliefs over the past century. The scientific discipline _least_ likely to express a belief in God was biology. The discipline _most_ likely to believe was physics. The numbers had fallen, over the years, but not by very much. Interesting data. (Nature 394: 313 1998) Posted August 12, 2005 4:54 PM
