Quoth Gagdad Bob: Even animals understand the laws of physics in their own way. It is very hard to be completely wrong about subjects as vast as "science" and "spirit" — which is why charlatans proliferate in both. The hard part is to appreciate their unity without facilely distorting either.

Thank you ever so much for the link to Gagdad Bob's ever interesting insights on the most weighty matters facing mankind today.

BTW, dear Matchett-PI, do you know anything about Gagdad Bob's curriculum vitae? I mean, who is this guy? And where does he come from? So far, my search for this kind of information has led exactly nowhere.

But that doesn't mean I don't like him. :^)

This is how he describes himself (its all I know):

Robert W.Godwin [Gagdad Bob] , Ph.D is a clinical psychologist whose interdisciplinary work has focused on the relationship between contemporary psychoanalysis, chaos theory, and quantum physics.

I know he’s said many times that he despises the thinking of most of the so-called experts in his field.

He’s not a theologian, but is highly interested in religion. He’s said that he trusts those more knowledgeable in the orthodox Christian religion (who read his blog), to set him straight if they think he’s wrong.

I know his wife has recently joined the Catholic Church, but he distrusts “organized religion”, from what I gather reading his blog.

He sure is one to think outside the box. :)
