Into the Wardrobe

I play chess with a friend who's very good at the game. He often makes a move that seems pointless to me. Being a bear of small brain, I can find no method in his madness, but he still wins the game.

IDers imagine they have the intellectual horsepower to perceive the designs of God, and finding this design, they believe. Ironically, their opponents often share the same ludicrous assumption. They also think they're smart enough to perceive God's design, and failing to find it, they disbelieve.

Believers are too small to judge if the universe is designed by God, but unbelievers are smaller still. They will not even hope it is.

Allan! How nice to see you. How are you? How's the next book coming?

Hi Karen,

The sequel's nearly done (tho full-time teaching has thrown a spanner into the works.) It's called Songs of the Night, and tells of Toh's tragic expedition into the wilds of the north 50 years before the events in QandH. I hope to get it out sometime this year, but we'll see.

Re. the project, we've send some $30000 over to the hospital in Ethiopia, per kind courtesy of Quid and Harmony and Rotary International. Nearly half-way there in eight months... not too bad.

Sigh. I really should be marking some papers...

Cheers.

That all sounds wonderful.

We now return you to your regular thread....

I, however, am impressed by Lewis's argument. I think postodave's analogy merely reflects the increasing sophistry of the modern world due to pluralism and a general denial of truth (See the last paragraph of the last chapter of Heretics). That's where the word 'sophistication' comes from, after all. But Lewis is still 'spot on', as the Brits seem to say. (a little better than 'dead on', I suppose)

I keep saying, "Read 'The Everlasting Man!'" "Read 'The Everlasting Man'!" But heck, no one ever listens to me...

Oh, yeah, and Happy (Eastern) easter, you guys!
Christ is risen!!!
(Hint: the response is, "Indeed He is risen!!!")
