Application information is now available for the Venice Summer School on Science and Religion held in Venice, Italy. This is a three-year program of one-week seminars.
The theme for the 2008 summer school chosen by school coordinators Karl Giberson, Thomas Jay Oord, William Shea, and Donald Yerxa is “God and the Laws of Nature.” The school will meet 27 May through 1 June 2008. Lecturers for the first year include Paul Davies, Owen Gingerich, and John Polkinghorne.
Interested individuals should submit materials when applying for admission. Application materials for the first year’s school are due 12 November 2007.
Further information can be found here.
Should be short:
Is there a coherent god concept? No.
Are there "laws" of nature (or Nature)? No.
The incoherence of "god, gods" does not mutually imply the lack of "laws" of (in) nature.
For more than 100 years, there have been no philosophers. Nietzsche was the last.

Wow. Two of the central questions of philosophy settled in a blog comment with no argumentation.
Does this comment also show that many of us don't exist, since 'there have been no philosophers for 100 years'?
Wish I would have known this before. Now I feel so worthless.
