The stuff that deals with the main topic of the book is excellent, but he gets into a side discussion on the Resurrected Christ and the Holy Spirit which doesn't seem quite orthodox, and that's not so good.

"I hate Manwe's posts because I hate babies and America." --Augustine2004, August 6, 2011
Then Morgoth turned upon Húrin, and he said: 'Fool, little among Men, and they are the least of all that speak! Have you seen the Valar, or measured the power of Manwë and Varda?
Do you know the reach of their thought? Or do you think, perhaps, that their thought is upon you, and that they may shield you from afar?'
'I know not,' said Húrin. 'Yet so it might be, if they willed. For the Elder King shall not be dethroned while Arda endures.'
The Words of Húrin and Morgoth, "The Children of Húrin" by J.R.R. Tolkien

I finished reading The Greatest Show on Earth. As expected, in confirmed what I already knew. Dawkins is a great biologist, but a terrible philosopher. He made some rather poor arguments against intelligent design (I am using the term in the general sense, not in reference to the movement.) For instance, he argues that trees should be shorter. Trees using energy to grow taller is "inefficient" because they don't get any more sunlight from simply being taller. Tall trees are thus "wasteful." He also argues that because predators are perfectly adapted to hunt their prey, and prey are perfectly adapted to escape their predators, that this is somehow evidence against design. He also plays the animal suffering card, which WLC and others have soundly rebutted. In essence, it was a really good book on evolution, but Dawkins spent too much time trying to argue against things being designed. Evolution and design aren't mutually exclusive!
I am now reading The Bible Among the Myths by John N. Oswalt.Crab Battle
noun
Words uttered to incite an all in brawl. Whoever says the words 'Crab Battle' will usually be spear tackled to the ground by anyone else present, and all parties will then engage in a fight to the death.
Reality untouchable, transparent, invisible to our fixed, restricted fields of vision. Existence taken for granted, absolute. Possessed, owned, controlled by the common sense-infected rational gaze, onward forever we walk among the ignorant. Never stray from the common lines.

Oswalt's a cool guy. Accidentally ate lunch with him last year. Should get around to reading that one. So far he seems to have written the most useful commentary on Isaiah (2 vols) that I've run across. Originally posted by Rational Gaze

I think the only thing Rushing Jaws and I agree with is our taste in authors.
