I was reveling in the irony that a year ago today I was sick and thinking about creationism. Today I’m healthy and deep in thought about transhumanism. The two shouldn’t be at odds but seem to constantly be at each other’s throats. One is the belief that God set man upon earth while the other speaks to transcendence and our scientifically fostered ability to become more. The notion that faith and science cannot exist in the same mind and space is idiotic to me. I find science to be the rules and structure that define the words preached in all manner of faith. When most look to God they look for guidance, answers, belonging. When most turn to science it is for these same reasons and often with the same dogged belief structure–the belief that what was proven before is gospel.
Some Thoughts:
- This cover of Radiohead’s ‘Creep’ is sick good… if you’re into that sort of thing. If you are, this is cool too…
- Tebow caught a shot with the Eagles. Sanchez and Tebow back together again?!
- In keeping with yesterday’s post on slavery, 1809 was in fact the year Abraham Lincoln was born. He was later responsible for the emancipation proclamation. That bold statement led to him being murdered by an upstart named John Wilkes Booth.
- Yes, my mid-kid is writing a paper on John Wilkes Booth.
- Netflix’s Daredevil is the best possible version of that story and well worth checking out. I don’t think anyone will (or should) remember the Affleck debacle after this… or the Elektra film that followed it. I do think Elektra will make an appearance by the 3rd season of this show and its already been setup to feel right and seamless.
