Jesus and Scientific Reasoning

Mike Anderson is someone I met a long time ago and have always enjoyed his occasional articles. If you enjoy games, his most recent article will be particularly enjoyable. You may even want to write to Mike and get on his list. I only have a PDF version so have sent it to the dassie subscription list. If you like the excerpt below, send me an email and I'll forward the PDF (64k).

"Our children awoke one Sunday to discover their shoes on the ceiling instead of under their beds, rice instead of their favourite cereal pouring out of the box and all the dining-room chairs were upside-down! They were a little surprised at first, but quickly laughed over their parent's shenanigans. We were trying to help them appreciate something so very ordinary and ubiquitous that it is easy to miss how extremely wonderful it is. This something is the remarkable consistency of the world. There is a Chinese proverb that goes, "If you want to know about water, do not ask a fish." The world's consistency to us is like water to a fish."
