Despite my fascination with surgery, I still think it an unnatural thing to do to a body. Surgery leaves scars. It can result in infection. It can cause excessive bleeding. It can save a life too. And sometimes a surgery causes the need for a second surgery. Or a third. Or a fourth.
This was the fifth. The healing and scarring of each surgery only complicated each subsequent surgery. Each consecutive one more perverse in nature than the previous one.
If only it were not for that first surgery nearly two years ago, or whatever went wrong with it. This three year old wears the scars of his surgeries like a veteran wears those of battles lost.
Still, somehow this one might be the one to save his life -- certainly it would prolong it.
Sometimes two wrongs do make a right...
A play on words, "intelligent design".
I have a rather undeveloped interest in epistemology. Undeveloped because I label myself as "a cynic by nature. Naive by design". That is, I deliberately have not read major philosophical works too seriously or taken any philosophy courses, so that in the end my philosophies are truly my own -- even if someone has thought as I have before me.
That being said, I am familiar with some basic concepts of logic and fallacies. And I do sometimes wish I knew more, or that I had a friend who would be willing to read, explore, and discuss such things with me.
One of my main beliefs is that your interpretation of evidence in the world is shaped by your personal experiences. The best way I can explain this is to give an example:
There are two ways you can look at the complex nature of the human body and its workings. You can look at it and see a nearly odd deliberation in form and function -- evidence that some being tinkered in our existence. God, if you will. Or you can look at it, and see the millions of little modifications selecting for the form and function -- evolution.
My point is, whether you accept your upbringing or reject it, how you interpret "evidence" is based on all your prior experiences. That says nothing of "intelligent design's" or evolution's concepts.
To me, personally, you can believe whatever you want as long as you don't overimpose your opinions on other people. And to me, personally, the two (ID and Evolution) do not have to be mutually exclusive.
Who's to say that God didn't choose evolution as the means for our creation?

Week 111 Assignment 2 for Take A Class With Dave and Dave.
Album Cover - We had a lot of fun with this one back in Week 5. Design an album cover, using a photo taken this week. All submissions must be square (ya know, like a CD/Vinyl case). Have fun!
I wasn't sure what I was going to shoot for my Album Cover assignment so I just started playing around with ideas. None of them went anywhere. Then I thought about that silly little game making the rounds over on Facebook that deals with using Wikipedia's random page in the creation of a make believe album cover. While I have issues with how the game uses "found" Flickr images, the first two steps are actually useful. I figured I'd at least use the first step to find a band name and then go from there. When general surgery popped up I was at first a bit disappointed. As I thought about it, however, a concept that I had come up with around Valentine's Day that I never got to work on popped into my head. That concept along with the band name "General Surgery" would work rather well together. I didn't use step two of the game, as the image dictated the album name more so than some random quote. It all worked out rather well as far as I am concerned.
