What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python
One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie
If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy
The reason that we have the scientific method is because common sense isn't reliable. -- Taq
I liked him in McHale's Navy, but even more with Don Knots in Apple Dumpling Gang.
The talent to make people laugh is rare and valuable.

"You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end. Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative" William S. Burroughs
I had never heard of him, but upon googling, found that he made some great stuff in his life. He impacted the world in a positive way---what more can we expect from our lives?
quote:Among physicists, Dr. Gell-Mann could easily be placed on the timeline of the centuries-old effort to find the fundamental laws that governed the behavior of the everyday world and the universe around us.
He was a pioneer in the development of what is called the “standard model” of particle physics, a guide to the fundamental behavior of the constituents of the universe.
The Nobel Prize was awarded to Dr. Gell-Mann 50 years ago, when he was barely 40, suggesting the early recognition of the significance of his contribution to science.
Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. ~RC Sproul
"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " ~"If that's not sufficient for you go soak your head."~Faith
You can "get answers" by watching the ducks. That doesn't mean the answers are coming from them.~Ringo
Subjectivism may very well undermine Christianity. In the same way that "allowing people to choose what they want to be when they grow up" undermines communism.~Stile
As I was editing this post(1.61803 beat me to the 9 lives comment) I began to reflect on why we (here at EvC) post obituaries of notable people in the first place.
There are many whom we overlook. Here are several *we* overlooked in May:
Eric Talmadge
Eric Talmadge, who as North Korea bureau chief for The Associated Press tenaciously chronicled life and politics in one of the world's least-understood nations, died last week after having a heart attack while running. He was 57.
Imagine having a heart attack while running to stay in shape! But he accomplished a lot with his life.
Gunther Cunningham
Longtime NFL coach Gunther Cunningham, who emigrated from postwar Germany as a child and then dedicated his life to football, died May 11, 2019, after a brief illness. Cunningham, shown in an October 2000 photo, was 72.
They go on and on. The ones whom we know we post about.
When our own Buzsaw passed, we collectively mourned for someone we knew only through the internet.
The same with our beloved Queen Asgara.
It caused me to reflect this morning. Faith and I are involved in apologetic discussions defending God, eternal life, and infinite eternal purpose, but the fact remains that we too will die someday. And what will our obituary say? ~Reflections.
