So, wife asked me what's with connectedness of the stuff in this world, synchronicity and such. Well, there is much to say.

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…
