By their own words, therefore, creation-scientists admit that they appeal to phenomena not covered or explicable by any laws that humans can grasp as laws. It is not simply that the pertinent laws are not yet known. Creative processes stand outside law as humans know it (or could know it) on Earth — at least there is no way that scientists can know Mendel's law through observation and experiment. Even if God did use His own laws, they are necessarily veiled from us forever in this life, because Genesis says nothing of them.

Long time readers here, and fans of Creek Running North, the best-written blog on the internets, will remember Zeke…and if you don't, you've been missing out. And now you can get a whole book of nothing but concentrated Zeke, which sounds like Dog Heaven to me.
YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $19.95. If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

Happy quiet writing birthday, PZ.

There are worse places than Dog Heaven to spend your birthday, especially for young boys of merely 51.
Cheers!

Happy B-Day PZ. May it be what you want it to be.

I have ordered the book yesterday and wanted to post about it - and still will - but you scooped me as always.

Thanks for the heads-up. Have a great B'day, PZ.

Happy birthday, from another avid cephalopod enthusiast. I also speak the language of the deep, and the head squid has asked me to pass this on to you:
"happy birthday old man. Thanks for talking us up"

I had wondered when I would get my due around here!
Happy Birthday you rascal. Keep up the good work.
