Recently an Evolution 2.0 reader reached out to me. He had done deep study of the linguistics of DNA.

Because I had briefly mentioned designing speakers and stereo equipment in chapter 3 of my book, he sent a photo of a some speakers he’d built.

He had no idea I also built a system that was spooky similar. Same design idea. Same ribbon drivers from the same boutique German manufacturer. I sent him back some pictures. We both got a chuckle from this “needles in haystacks” meeting in such an unlikely context.

Laura and I were scared for her. Ribs sticking out of her skin. She wore baggy sweaters, her breasts sagged and she was perpetually cold.

A rocket scientist/engineer and an ER physician/pastor talk with Perry about the big questions of God and life.

Michael Flannery reviewed Evolution 2.0. I replied in “ID’s Blind Spot.” Michael then responded to my post in his comment #36.
