A Pharyngula, like an amygdala,
Can be emotionally powerful,
Generating fear
In illogical creationists.
His mind is still evolving
(And, yes, it’s real!)
At the ripe young age of 50,
His questing, unlike his work study
Is not a fossil.
So if you value reason,
The penetrating mind of science,
And know the human mind
Can be special
Without a primum mobile,
Then go to his blog,
Read his posts,
And give him the kudo
That is his definite due.
A nice birthday e-mail
That says:
“Pharyngula, I dig ya.”
Happy 50 and many more in the “crusade” against illogic and illiberality, P.Z.
Oops, did I say “crusade”? Forgive the W talk.

This is a slice of my philosophical, lay scientific, musical, religious skepticism, and poetic musings. (All poems are my own.) The science and philosophy side meet in my study of cognitive philosophy; Dan Dennett was the first serious influence on me, but I've moved beyond him. The poems are somewhat related, as many are on philosophical or psychological themes. That includes existentialism and questions of selfhood, death, and more. Nature and other poems will also show up here on occasion.
