Another week! I’m off to Truman State in Missouri today to talk about evolution, religious and other stuff. That means that posting may be light until Thursday. As always, I do my best. Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, the Furry Princess of Poland is getting her subjects to carry her about. Malgorzata explains:
Hili, since she was a tiny kitten, had a trick demanding/begging to be picked up. She would run to you, stand on her hind paws in front of you and put her forepaws high on your legs. She doesn’t do it very often now but sometimes on the walks, when it is wet or cold, she does it. I find it irresistible and always pick her up. After a few moments she wants to be put down again.
Malgorzata: Hili, what are you doing?
Hili: I’m observing biodiversity.
Małgorzata: Hili, co ty robisz?Hili: Oglądam bioróżnorodność.
Truman State is where Dr. Taner Edis teaches physics. He’s the author of “An Illusion of Harmony: Science and Religion in Islam”. I wouldn’t be surprised if he shows up at your talks!
Taner is in fact the host of my visit, so I’ll see a lot of him. And I’ve read his book.
How about that! Small world.
I’ve read his book too and thought it was good. My only criticism is that he focused a bit too much on Turkey, to the exclusion of the rest of the Islamic world.
Will we see a record of the speech? Those are always fun to watch.
Cute kitty – she has figured out that humans can’t resist her gestures!
