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
Ecology and Biodiversity How not to Feyerabend 5 Oct 2007 On Monday night last, Jason Grossman, a philosopher form the Australian National University rang me with an idea. He was coming to my university to give a talk entitled “How to Feyerabend”, arguing that Feyerabend was a dadaist rather than an anarchist. I’d tell you more about his talk, but… Read More
Epistemology Aware: Dualism and the onus of proof 2 Nov 20232 Nov 2023 In which I discuss animal breath… One is often told or reads that the natural assumption of human cultures more or less universally is that humanity is composed of two parts – the body and the spirit.

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.

A number of reactions to reading these news. Glad to see Neil Levy involved. Talked to him a few years ago about the area so it’s good to see him getting into it. He is indeed a great guy. The selection looks pretty good. Very happy to see it open with Joseph Bulbulia’s review. I remember spilling my drink from laughter the first time I read it.

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