A Letter to the Kansas School Board

I am writing you with much concern after having read of your hearing to decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design to be taught along with the theory of Evolution. I think we can all agree that it is important for students to hear multiple viewpoints so they can choose for themselves the theory that makes the most sense to them. I am concerned, however, that students will only hear one theory of Intelligent Design.

Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He who created all that we see and all that we feel. We feel strongly that the overwhelming scientific evidence pointing towards evolutionary processes is nothing but a coincidence, put in place by Him. Read More…

Golf Movies

You know, I don’t know what it is, but I love golf movies. I don’t care what it is, Happy Gilmore, The Legend of Bagger Vance, Tin Cup. It doesn’t matter to me. If it is about golf, I like it. Saturday night I watched Bobby Jones. This was the movie that starred Jesus (Jim Caviezel) and told the life story of the legendary golfer and Masters founder. It was an excellent movie. If anyone has any other golf movies to recommend, let me know. I’ll probably like it.

Black Egypt

I’m really loving this new Blogs of the Day plugin. True, it is a popularity contest, but the thing I like most about it is the amount of people using it and getting their sites listed. It allows for some very interesting reading. Case in Point is Alun’s post about Black Pharoahs. Being a history major, I was drawn to this title and read the article. It was a great read and I would like to quote it on my blog.

This comes in part from an email I was sent over a month back about the National Geographic cover with Tutankhamen on the front. The author was upset that Tutankhamen was white and asking me to take a stand. I wrote back that I wouldn?t on the grounds that the issue in question hadn?t been released in the UK, though it has in the past couple of weeks. Was she a crank? That?s the easy answer but there were a couple of comments that made me think we should think seriously about the issue of race and recontruction of ancient peoples.

What Would You Do?

I found this while browsing other peoples’ blogs.

Things I’d do if I had the powers of Superman –

1. Skydive naked and chuteless into a major city, using my flight powers to make sure I didn’t land on anyone, but not using them to save myself from smacking the ground right in front of a crowd. Read more

3 Generations of Cardinals Fans

On Father’s Day we all took a trip down to the city to look at the progress of the new Cardinals baseball stadium. This picture sums it up. Three generations of Cardinals fans. Me on the left, my nephew Cameron in the middle, and my dad on the right.
