Ok, it is clear ... when you 'guys' talk sweet about me like this w/o pinging me, it means something. But what? Ahhhh. It can only mean you miss me. Honestly, I have missed you two guys too, but only a little bit.
I have been busy w/ my 3 month old son - I go out into the backyard w/ my golf clubs and my golf wiffle balls, and he is in the stroller. Then I discuss the finer points of geophysics in motion as I tear up my backyard during practice, taking spin off, then putting it on again (golf wiffle balls are ideal for this kind of practice). I demonstrate to the little man the near magical power as these tiny objects float to within inches of my target, a red and white thermos at 25 yards. Little Gb watches intently while sucking his thumb, and then looks up quizzically after I finish. I tell him golf is alot like prophecy, creating the future in the present. For only when the picture is created in the now does it come true in the then...
(as an aside, I noticed you suffer from a double standard RWP ... touchy when others do it to you, but gee, here you are advocating my comments be laid up on some vast internet mocking board somewhere in PH's vast archives of 'help' ... but you didn't feel the need to ping me. Shame on you oh great paragon of rectitude - and btw, my feelings are hurt; please recall I suffer from fragile self esteem....)
And Thatcherite, I must confess, the fact I made such a deep impression upon you with regards to my G.U.T.S discussion is rather interesting. The Grand Unified Theory of Sex has had quite of few listeners, and I have noticed something... those unhappy w/ just 'who' God is tend to find sex w/ one woman pretty uninteresting, but at the same time the theory of evolution they find very important to them - it is all linked somehow ... funny strange....
I am doing a new line of inquiry: the experience known as 'falling in love'. I have noticed Hollywood movies though on the surface go gaga over this topic actually obfuscate in the extreme about it ... reminding me ALOT of how leftist T.O.E types operate...
I have come to conclude your average T.O.E dude/dudette seems to avoid this subject. Perhaps you two have some thoughts, ideas, about how 'falling in love' VALIDATES the T.o.E. I would love to hear it. But, I suspect neither of you have really anything to say about it, much less have data/studies/links regarding the matter. It is astonishing how much sex fills the broadband lines ... and just how very little falling in love is discussed much out there in cyberland...
Because falling in love really has little to do w/ the sex drive, making kids ...; those are artifacts of the experience.
falling in love has LOTS to do w/ a man wanting to be faithful to just one woman.....
Why, scientifically reasoned, is that ya think?
You're right. I was a bit tangential in the conversation, a sort of entrepreneur of looniness as it were, but still, I was referring to you, so I should have pinged you. My apologies.
At the same time, anyone who makes psychosexual hay out of disagreements about evolution deserves mockery.

Oh, we're on this again, are we? Well, I'll simply let Cole Porter speak for me. Seems to me the link between evolution and falling in love has been adequately established.

Of course falling in love validates ToE. The explanation is so obvious that only a complete idiot or someone determined not to see it could miss it if they gave the matter 2 minutes consideration. Does that remind you of anyone? I seem to recall some fool who couldn't imagine why faithfulness validated the ToE and had to have the explanation spoon-fed in grinding detail, now who was that?....
Comedy Gold never gets old. We'll be running repeats of those posts on satellite for years to come. My big fear was that you'd try to pretend that the humour was some kind of intentional parody of looniness, which somehow would have made it much less funny.
Look Patrick, you asked for another Dr G stream of unconsciousness, and the Lord Provided. I'm not convinced that this was up to the standard of his earlier work however. Kind of like that "Difficult Third Album" syndrome.
