Random Quote
If you want to reason about faith, and offer a reasoned (and reason-responsive) defense of faith as an extra category of belief worthy of special consideration, I'm eager to play. I certainly grant the existence of the phenomenon of faith; what I want to see is a reasoned ground for taking faith seriously as a way of getting to the truth , and not, say, just as a way people comfort themselves and each other (a worthy function that I do take seriously). But you must not expect me to go along with your defence of faith as a path to truth if at any point you appeal to the very dispensation you are supposedly trying to justify. Before you appeal to faith when reason has you backed into a corner, think about whether you really want to abandon reason when reason is on your side.

I humbly give credit to the magic of low-turnout elections.
P.S.: There is a hinky link in Scott's endorsement, for which I am quite grateful (for the endorsement, I mean).

I raise my bottle of Fresca in a toast to Z. and B. :-)

I am truly and deeply honoured (and a little overwhelmed.)
Am I the first Canadian to be inducted into the Order? If so, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to all of you for Céline Dion.
And congratulations to Zeno. Well done!
Thank you.

Congrats you two!
Thanks Brownian for the apology.
Celine almost causes me convulsions when I hear her voice.

Congratulations and welcome to you both!

Brownian emotion?

Particularly pleasurable prize-winners. Prosit!

If someone gave Torbjörn a little tap on the side of the head, would it get him out of alliteration mode? He's stuck!
(Thanks, Torbjörn.)

Congratulations Brownian and Zeno! Very well-deserved. I love reading your comments.
Posted by: Karen | August 21, 2007 7:58 AM
I don't say much, but I did want to congratulate you both - as much as I like PZ, the commenters really 'add to the experience' around here.
Do your significant others believe you have groupies?
Posted by: Zeno | August 21, 2007 9:58 AM
Not a problem! [Link]
Posted by: Brownian | August 21, 2007 2:38 PM
Groupies? Is there the Pharyngulan equivalent of backstage somewhere I should be aware of?
