Strainer than fiction…

Thanks Kat, Rick & Paul.

Quote of the Day:

“It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense”

Mark Twain

  1. Long Live The Fighters!
    I had read about half of Herbert’s book before ‘Dune’ the movie came around. At first, I was not at all impressed. The only happy spot for me was Sean Young. But as the years and decades have passed, I have grown a fond appreciation for the old movie, adding it to my DVD library and catching myself watching it regularly.

    1. Whoa!
      The tone of that ‘documentary’ makes me very suspicious.

      It’s funny how scientists make all that effort to explain away events that some people interpret as omens or portents —how the parting of the red sea was due to an earthquake or whatever— but that has never made sense to me.

      I do not interpret miracles as a breaking in the laws of Nature —one could interpret that if God established the laws of Nature, why would God act against Himself?.

      The important issue in the miraculous is the meaning. The connection your conscience makes with that natural event.

      Of course, science lifts its nose to everything and anything that has to do with subjective interpretation…

      So, call me a woo woo guy, but to me oil precipitating on New Orleans is bad juju :-/

        The destruction of tradition and religion by science is never a plus. We need to look into all facilities to find wisdom, not dismiss one for another. “Science exists because someone wanted to prove religion wrong” – is not correct at all, it exists to prove it right, and as with legends and myths, all have the grain of truth.
