One of ...God a verb or noun or a coach?<br /><br />el Rushbo:<br /><i>One of the linebackers for the Dolphins is a guy named Karlos Dansby, who used to play for the Arizona Cardinals, and according to Karlos Dansby, what happened when the Broncos played the Dolphins in week seven was this. Dansby said that the Dolphins saw God working through Tebow and, in the process, Dansby became closer to God himself.<br /><br />He said, "Us losing to Tim Tebow the way we did, we seen it first hand. Young man is blessed. Young man has a special anointing on him. And for God to show himself in that game the way He did, through the guy He did it through, it opened a lot of guys' eyes on our team. And it brought a lot of guys closer to God, so like I said, everything happens for a reason. ... My hat goes off to Tim. And God working through him like that, it opened up a lot of eyes. He’s a blessed young man and I wish him much success the rest of his career." Karlos Dansby. He said that on the Jim Rome Show.</i><br /><br />[reminds of some of Washington's early enemies who saw sumpthin' 'aculous in his unscathedness]gehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02015936407999495181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-44747598534530038552011-12-13T06:30:24.865-08:002011-12-13T06:30:24.865-08:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thzUR_mq6OY&fea...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thzUR_mq6OY&feature=youtube_gdata_playerhoratiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439964946166785818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-63032309938650006852011-12-12T16:12:03.263-08:002011-12-12T16:12:03.263-08:00ge, I have to confess I quit watching football for...ge, I have to confess I quit watching football for the most part somewhere around the time Jerry bought the Cowboys. But I can't help hearing about Tebow and the comparison that comes to mind is Staubach. From the sound of it, Staubach was a better QB than Tebow, but he had the same kind of unbelievable 4th-quarter luck. <br /><br />Staubach's luck even extended to the guys that played behind him, e.g., Clint Longley.mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-87536474698756560342011-12-12T16:04:11.847-08:002011-12-12T16:04:11.847-08:00I have always thought there was a teleology inhere...I have always thought there was a teleology inherent, if you can say that, in DNA.

Not that I've read any Joyce yet, but what little I've seen suggests it may be so.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-35463141068832025062011-12-12T13:56:50.520-08:002011-12-12T13:56:50.520-08:00Ha - what Mushroom said @1:11™.

Plus FL, as always, is a great illustrator. <br /><br />However, this gets me thinking:<br /><br /><i>As kooky as things are today among the tenured, the 19th century was actually the pinnacle of simplistic scientific mechanism, determinism, and reductionism.</i><br /><br />Considering how much more scientists today know that we <i>don't</i> know, one would think there would be more room for faith as a ground for science than there was then, when so many were convinced of the purely Newtonian and mechanistic nature of reality. The more we discover, the more mysterious it all becomes - and the more some strive to cling to an absolute faith in the godlessness and knowability of everything.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-15411899413139702862011-12-12T13:11:39.387-08:002011-12-12T13:11:39.387-08:00This is like a dessert bar.
