“Plantinga has written a short, 5 page summary of his views on evolution and naturalism, and it’s lucid (for Plantinga) and goes straight to his main points. The workings of the man's mind sit there naked and exposed, and all the stripped gears and misaligned cogs and broken engines of his misperception are there for easy examination. Read it, and you'll wonder how a man so confused could have acquired such a high reputation; you might even think that philosophy has been Sokaled.” ThinkingMenMindHas BeensPhilosophyMightEasyWonderHe ManBrokenNakedReputationConfusedExposedEnginesExaminationGearsCogsMisperceptionSo Confused Author:PZ Myers
“It is the swimmer who first leaps into the frozen stream who is cut sharpest by the ice; those who follow him find it broken, and the last find it gone.

“A man once jumped from the top floor of a burning house in which many members of his family had already perished. He managed to save his life; but as he was falling he hit a person standing down below and broke that person's legs and arms.

If both behaved rationally, they would not become enemies.” IfsMenPersonsChoicesFallHouseCausesEnemyHe ManBrokenArmsMembersStandingLegsBurningBrokeMisfortunesJumpingLimbsBurning HouseStanding Down Author:Isaac Deutscher

“The only victory that really counts in prison is survival. But survival means more than simply being alive. It's not just the body that must survive a jail term; the spirit and the will and the heart have to make it through as well. If any one of them is broken or destroyed, the man whose living body walks through the gate, at the end of his sentence, can't be said to have survived it. And it's for those small victories of the heart, and the spirit, and the will that we sometimes risk the body that cradles them.” IfsMenWellsHeartMeanSaidEndsSometimesBodySpiritTermWalksAliveRiskHe ManBrokenVictorySurvivalPrisonSentencesDestroyedGatesJailSurvivedCradleSmall Victories Author:Gregory David Roberts
