Question: Atheists appear to accept the mistaken notion that “science” is what they believe. Here’s a quote:
“Louis Pasteur’s theory of germs is ridiculous fiction.” (Pierre Pachet, Professor of Physiology at Toulouse)
This quote agrees with the “mud to man” theory taught by many today.
Question for unbelievers: In light of your world-view, is this quote correct?
Question for believers: Is it mandatory to believe everything that purports to be “science” (such as the quote above), or should you utilize the cognitive abilities God created you with?

Question: Do you have any sample questions in the area of science fiction?
I am attending a meeting in a day and it involves impromptu speeches that last 1-2 minutes. I am the coordinator for this meeting and need to ask the questions that the people will answer in their speeches. The topic of the day that all questions must pertain to is “science fiction”. So far I have asked what people’s favorite science fiction movie/TV show are and what technology in science fiction they would like in the world today. Do you have additional ideas for questions I could ask that people could answer?
I will award 10 points for the best question written that deals with science fiction.

Question: What fantasy and/or science fiction audiobooks would you recommend?
Please tell me your favorites so I can listen to them! =)
If possible, I would like a list under categories “fantasy,” “science fiction,” or “both.” A special notification if the title has good music would also be nice – good music is a nice bonus but not a requirement.
As always, thank you for participating and helping out!

A great one I listened to was “Spirits in the Wires” by Charles de Lint. It is not necessarily my favorite de Lint book, but the audiobook presentation is one of the best I’ve ever heard. It features two speakers, a male and a female, and they alternate depending on the character’s gender, but they each know how to do a variety of voices and accents.
“Spirits in the Wires” is part of de Lint’s Newford series. Another good book from that series is “The Onion Girl,” which has been recently made into an audiobook, though I haven’t heard it yet. I’m hoping my library will one day carry it, and I may order it from Amazon, if the price goes down.
I am currently listening to the audiobook of Richard Matheson’s “What Dreams May Come,” which is one of my favorite books, and it is about Heaven and Hell. For a more mainstream Matheson title, you might try “I Am Legend,” though I haven’t listened to the audiobook version of it.
