There were several reasons – one was travel. Mainly to the Old Continent, and I’ll be going again in a few days, for a week or so. Another one was that I was a bit ‘ticked...My defencehttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos6191/911968The charge: Male supremacist insensitivity and indifference to the ladies’ experience of ‘sexism’; specifically that, being a male, I claim ‘to know better’, and hence rejected the comments of my female readers. My defence: Since personal experience is allowed as evidence in this trial, I shall...The proper way to behave...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos6191/911955If you’re a woman, that is! It’s all spelled out here, in great detail. The lucky women in Europe, especially in Britain, are already learning. But, fortunately, here in North America we aren’t far behind. In an August 11 Friday sermon delivered in Columbia, South Carolina, Egyptian-American...Response to Comments Day – and more…IIhttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos6191/911839As I mentioned yesterday, I didn’t have the time to deal with all the excellent comments to my post ‘Further thoughts about faith’. So here’s the remainder... Following TAPS there was GM’s comment. He not only agreed with me on the decline of Christianity, but also pointed to some of the reasons...Response to Comments Day – and more…Ihttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos6191/911819Today you’ll get responses to comments made to my post ‘Further thoughts about faith’ – at least some. As it turns out, I can’t really answer them all and do justice to them at the same time, so today I’ll only have the first few… I probably should have called the previous post Part I, since I’m...Further thoughts about faith…http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos6191/911783It is strange how we’re being almost inevitably drawn into areas that we, at least I, had momentarily escaped in chatting about the delights of physics and desserts. (Of course the other reason I have been talking about such simple things is that I’ve been busy with stuff…) I had discussed the...Naut’s fabulous Banana dessert…IIhttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos6191/911724I’ve been busy with all kinds of stuff – still no time to continue with the BC Special, but I’ll give you at least an update on the fried Banana recipe I’ve been fiddling with… Today I repeated much of yesterday’s method, but added a few new wrinkles. I got some nice strawberries, sprinkled them...Naut’s fabulous Banana dessert…http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos6191/911706I’ve been busy – don’t ask. That’s why I haven’t been around much at Blogitville, and have neglected my 'lecturing duties' – but I shall continue, if not tonight. I had thought about going out for supper, but what with having to look after all the animals (my LSW is travelling) I decided against...Once more – a quick answer for our TAPShttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos6191/911643There sometimes are comments that practically force me to respond, and here’s one from TAPS that does just that. I had written a brief post on the question of the presence of a ‘bang’ in the ‘Big Bang’, and said that, in the absence of the conditions necessary for sound to occur, there wasn’t any...Just a couple of quick answers…http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos6191/911547I’m gonna be very busy tomorrow and won’t be able to post much of anything, so I’ll just deal with a couple of comments – one is a question, the other one kind of a statement of faith. And it’s all with regard to the BH stuff… TAPS, in response to my remark that the BB wasn’t a ‘bang’, asks: “...
