Random Quote
(Complete listing)However far back we may be able to trace the — so to speak — internal history of the Universe, there can be no question of arguing that this or that external origin is either probable or improbable. We do not have, and we necessarily could not have, experience of other Universes to tell us that Universes, or Universes with these particular features, are the work of Gods, or of Gods of this or that particular sort.
Antony Flew, "The Presumption of Atheism" God, Freedom, and Immortality, (Buffalo, NY: Prometheus Books, 1984), p. 51.

Sounds a little greedy and self-serving, don't you think?

I have always thought that if Waterson was not God he was at least a god.

I, for one, certainly miss Calvin.
Wonder what he would have thought about Bush? Cheney? Owea bin Hadden? Our coerced, headlong rush to Theocracy?
Watterson's only around 47 now. Isn't it time to press for a comeback?

For a brief while in December the Boston Globe was re-running Calvin & Hobbes in its comics section --- and then they switched to Spider Man......

Follow the link. C&H are still online, their oldies repeated every day. I check that site every morning, first thing.

Awesome, PZ. Calvin and Hobbes was always my favorite, and you just reminded me why.

Great cartoon. My organic chem professor used to always put Calvin cartoons on our tests. It still didn't spoil C&H for me.
