Intelligent Design and Religion as a Natural Phenomenon 22 Jun 2010 My next book [I just love the sound of that] has been published. Here’s a flyer. It’s an anthology of papers on the title topics, with an introduction by yours truly… it’s cheaper if you buy it directly from the publisher from here. Many thanks to Neil Levy, series editor and patient and forebearing man… Book Creationism and Intelligent Design Philosophy Religion Science Social evolution Philosophy
Humor Math and urine 16 Sep 2009 I just had to bring this blag post by Randall Munroe on the mathematics of the right choice of urinal to use in mens rooms to your attention. How can one not like a post that describes the ICUP (International Choice of Urinal Protocol) thus: Read More

I don’t know… It says in the flyer that God is watching me. Does God just watch through the book or from elsewhere? If from the book, if I put something over it, can he/she/it see through? There are privacy issues here.

Gosh darn. I would like to have written a bit about modeling manufacture rather than detecting design. Does anybody point that out?
