My regular readers may recall that I did a few posts last year in which I quoted Michael Denton, MD, PhD, from his book Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1985). It was the Bonus Re-Read in my “Five Non-Fiction Books I Enjoyed Reading in 2025” post. This year, I am (slowly and sporadically) working my […]

Those two posts were on consciousness and abortion, respectively. Now I have […]

“This was a surprise for me — I was not looking for this.” — Marcelo de Oliveira Souza, cosmologist at State University of Northern Rio de Janeiro There are many factors that slow our “on-site” study of other planets, moons, etc. Incredible distances, for example, mean very long flight times.
