Wright I always look forward to his next book\/story. Often though his blog posts I enjoy just as much.  His conversion has made him sort of an Apostle to the Science Fiction\/Fantasy Fans. As a fan of that genre since childhood it did not often challenge my materialistic atheist beliefs.  That a large group of SF\/Fantasy fans are atheists\/agnostics makes the intersection of the fans of his books and what he says on other matters on his blog rather interesting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">This time in response to one of his readers <a href=\"http:\/\/johncwright.livejournal.com\/304526.html\">he posts on<\/a> &#8220;the problems of overpopulation&#8221; which is quite an excellent read and exposes the myth of overpopulation as preached by modern Malthusian Chicken Littles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Additionally SF writer Michael Flynn who I am also a great fan of returns to &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/m-francis.livejournal.com\/128694.html\">Return of the Age of Unreason Part II<\/a>&#8221; on the Scientific Revolution and it&#8217;s connection to Western (specifically Christian) thought.  Both of his posts on this are the response to a &#8220;freethinker&#8221; who a Michael Fly says &#8220;He writes that he is &#8220;not a Middle Age scholar&#8221; and then sets about proving it. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Nice to see that both of these Catholic authors have taken the time to engage the lies of the age so often construed as common knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a fan of SF author John C.
