The weekend went well, we had the first of two Thanksgiving dinners, this one with my wife’s family. Later this week I’ll have some Army buddies over for dinner, they might effect my ability to write this blog for many reasons, but I’ll do my best. One of the guys is bringing his wolf, I couldn’t say how much of its genetics are wolf, that stuff is mostly marketing anyways and I don’t think “wolf” would appear in DNA and “dog” is written elsewhere. Some day I’ll have to get into genetics talk, but I haven’t done enough research on the topic. The crux of the argument being that humans can talk which is unlike anything else in the universe we’ve encountered. The basic argument against evolution with that is that a random mutation for language wouldn’t afford that creature anyone else to communicate with. Darwin was aware of this flaw in his theory at the time and today the “Origin of speech” wiki says in the second paragraph that while many have attempted to scientifically explain the origin of speech, “no theory has generated agreement”. Five years ago I wouldn’t say such things because myself like many others put our faith in modern science, the only problem is that science runs on skepticism. Faith is for religion. The media abused people’s faith in science by making claims and then often within a year making claims contrary to the originals, expecting their audience to have the attention of a goldfish. That in large leads to this blog, because who do you trust? I rarely trust anything written in the last 50 years. My education comes from the classic, it can be said those are curated by people with something to gain, first I don’t have time to deal with contrarians. Second, I’m old enough and educated enough to judge quality craftsmanship. The spirit shines through works a person cared about.
