About Me

Name: Matteo

Location: Palo Alto, California, United States

Former commie and angry hedonist, now a conservative Catholic Republican. After Scientific Materialism, Deism, and Buddhism, I stumbled across the 2,000-year-old Big Kahuna, the Roman Catholic Church. A couple of years before I became Catholic, exposure to the real world had replaced my Berkeley-induced leftism with a sort of sneering "I'm above it all" irony. After becoming Catholic in 1996, I turned conservative, and also became a much nicer guy. Eternal Optimism had won out over Radical Bitterness. Politics, current events, religion, and aviation, that's what's on the blog.

Title: The Design Matrix by Mike Gene

Sentences 6, 7,& 8 of page 123: "The picture is drawn such that either animal can be see and is inherently ambiguous. Perhaps the duck/rabbit image can assist us in expanding our thinking about the concepts of both design and evolution. Evolution is supported by a vast amount of evidence."

Interesting that page 123 happens to be the introduction of the central metaphor for the whole book, which is one of the best I've read on the ID/Darwinism controversy. In this book the author in many ways transcends the current debate.

I'm supposed to now tag 5 people, but I'm not really on "blog-buddy" terms with anyone else (besides the Matt who tagged me) such that I could...

I only saw this image for the first time last week, and if I hadn't I would not have understood what you posted.; 3:09 AM
