Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Why I believe in God, part CVLXII – what a cool thing to do.
“A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question.”
–Cambridge University astrophysicist and mathematician Fred Hoyle
“Fred Hoyle and I differ on lots of questions, but on this we agree: a common sense and satisfying interpretation of our world suggests the designing hand of a superintelligence.”
–Former Harvard University Research Professor of Astronomy and the History of Science Owen Gingerich, who is now the senior astronomer at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Gingerich is here reflecting on Fred Hoyle’s above comment.
From the infinitesimal to cosmic…so yer feeling small are yea?

I love it. When I think about the beauty of the Earth, swimming there in the cosmos, it makes me want to break down. Science has given us so much, and importantly, it has given us the ability to see the beauty and majesty of the creation!
Amen DCM!!
Thanks for that Lance.
The arguments for intelligent design are…well, intelligent. It’s too bad so many refuse to examine them objectively due to prejudice.
Anthropic principle. Seriously, you could at least try.
When you die this is known and the ‘misanthropic principle’.

When you see the size of the universe in a video like this and you listen to the people that propose to save the planet with a carbon tax you soon realize that for all of the accomplishments of man through the eons we are now at a place in time where there is no intelligent life here.
Exactly! Science continually reveals perfect design and purpose! From the tiniest working of the cell membranes, to the amazing solar system.
Yeah, I did this every year with my Grade X science class. Took a tennis ball to represent the sun, a couple of marbles and a pea and had the class on the soccer pitch showing how the inner planets lined up. They were impressed that we couldn’t place the outer lot on the pitch, and I think got the idea that space is a vast concept.
If one is doing this in the northern hemisphere, one ought to display the solar system as viewed from Polaris. The cars should have been driving in the opposite direction.
Well done. I have said for years that people do not comprehend the staggering emptiness of space nor the enormity of the distances between the small collections of matter.
