God enough

We should see the ceaseless creativity of nature as sacred, argues biologist Stuart Kauffman, despite what Richard Dawkins might say.

    @ spoodles

    Ben Franklin observed that four of five men are slow suicides. That's certainly so today. Go to any parking lot and watch the waddling. Drive down any street and witness those drivers on cell phones. Go to any McDonalds and watch the supersizing of fat, sugar, and salt. Read the studies about the diabetes epidemic. We're mass suiciding. It's just that we're doing it so slowly that you can't descry it.

    I suspect you're seeing me as a glumster. I'm not. I'm a cynic, but a merry cynic.

    Merrily, cynically yours,

    Bigguns
