Original Blog Reporting: Talking Dog Interviews Marshall Onellion and Steven Fortney

Once again The Talking Dog has a thought-provoking –and truly debate sparking — original weblog interview. (We’re running so many of these from that site that we’re close to letting TD post them himself).

And this one is one were if we take a quote we’ll be taking it way out of context. So we’ll just give you the intro and ask you to read the entire piece yourself:

Marshall Onellion and Steven Fortney are the co-authors of “Seeking Truth: Living with Doubt”, a variation on those ambitious books seeking to constitute a brief history, or a unified field theory, of everything. Onellion and Fortney’s book discusses hermeneutic aspects of evaluating knowledge in an uncertain universe, from the standpoints of scientific, religious and artistic angles, and they are quite critical of all aspects of dogmatism, particular in fundamentalist religions, though whereever found. Both reside in Wisconsin; Steven Fortney was a high school English teacher for 31 years, has written a number of works of fiction, and practices Buddhism. Marshall Onellion is a physics professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, previously served in the Air Force, and practices agnosticism. On August 8, 2007, I had the privilege of interviewing Messrs. Onellion and Fortney by e-mail exchange.
