I recorded a video for my Facebook page about the Microcosm book tour, which I've cloned below. Still fine-tuning my video interfaces...how does YouTube embed, compared to blip.tv?

Last night, a reader sent me a link to *yet another* wretched attempt to argue for the existence of God using Bayesian probability. I *really* hate that. Over the years, I've learned to dread Bayesian arguments, because *so many* of them are things like this, where someone cobbles together a pile…
A couple weeks ago I spoke at Downstate Medical Center in New York about some of my articles in the New York Times that revolve around how the mind evolved.

Be sure to have a look at Sahotra Sarkar's essay at The American Prospect. He describes the recent shift of emphasis on the ID side away from biology and towards physics instead. Sarkar writes:

Will put the book up in my wish list, who knows, someone may gift me with it ;-)
I recently finished "At The Water's Edge", and it was awesome. I've definitely pre-ordered Microcosm.
No doubt that a lot of the art on my site will be inspired by quotes from this book, as well.
Will you be speaking in the Raleigh, NC area anytime soon?
