God and the origins of life
It’s been quite a few years since I have had the opportunity to be intellectually stimulated in the areas of religion, philosophy and science – I very much miss the days of tutelage under my friend and mentor, Bill Johnson.
One of the topics that I really took an interest in, was the intersect of religion and science. I recently added a new author to my “to read” list. His book(s) appear to settle comfortably in the company of Collins, Jastrow, Tipler, Davies, and the likes: Stephen Meyer.
Although I haven’t read his books yet (just found him this morning), I enjoyed his cursory overview of his latest book Return of the God Hypothesis from Uncommon Knowledge.
Especially appreciated his reference to Jastrow, when he wrote:
For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.
Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomers.
Chopped Liver!
Like mother, like daughter. Frequently I answer tech questions for @amandarachael, and once she follows my instructions, she usually replies: never mind, I figured it out myself.
Apparently, like mother like daughter.
Treasures!!
We went down to the dock today after work, and @amandarachael found both a lollipop and a can of sprite just sitting there, alone. She was so pleased at the treasure she found.
Meanwhile, back at the farm, Braeden was pretty upset, because he put down a lollipop and a can of sprite and they were mysteriously consumed by some unknown thief.
A beautiful bubbling brook on a sunny afternoon!
Braeden and I took a quick Motorcycle trip to Powhatan Park today, we had to stop to enjoy (and record!) a beautiful bubbling brook. It might not look like much, but it sounded sublime!
Who needs an umbrella?
When two of you want to go on a walk, and it’s pouring, and you only have one umbrella.
Look out world – 2New Driving Candidates!
Looks like we have a couple new candidates for the school of driving Inc.
Warming up the ‘Neighbor Haters’
Cobra has a sense of humor, naming these particular exhaust pipes, the “Neighbor Haters”.
I took Bob out and started warming him up for a couple hours of riding today, wish the pipes weren’t so embarrassingly quiet. 😉
Sounds of Silence
Nothing more serene than the sound of spring tree frogs.
Why do you wear socks?
COVID has broken a lot of things, not the least to mention is our view of the world.
This morning I made a comment to Braeden, that I was performing my morning mental exercise, e.g. trying to find matching sock colors in the “sock bin”.. it’s not an easy thing to do.
His response: “Why do you have to wear socks, people can’t see your feet on video chat.”
I wonder how far you could take that line of reasoning, or how far some people do take it… 🤨
