Denyse auditions for a "gap tooth creationist moron:" | Quote | Even though I am not a creationist by any reasonable definition, I sometimes get pegged as the local gap tooth creationist moron. (But then I don’t have gaps in my teeth either. Check unretouched photos.)
As the best gap tooth they could come up with, a local TV station interviewed me about “superstition” the other day.
The issue turned out to be superstition related to numbers. Were they hoping I’d fall in?
Look, guys, numbers here are assigned on a strict directional rota. If the number bugs you so much, move.
Don’t mess up the street directory for everyone else. Paramedics, fire chiefs, police chiefs, et cetera, might need a directory they can make sense of. You might be glad for that yourself one day. |
Sensible answers so far. I am sure the TV people were disappointed.
Well, turns out Denyse saved her best answer for an off-camera presentation:
| Quote | | Anyway, I didn’t get a chance to say this on the program so I will now: No numbers are evil or unlucky. All numbers are – in my view – created by God to march in a strict series or else a discoverable* series, and that is what makes mathematics possible. And mathematics is evidence for design, not superstition. |
You're doing fine, Denyse, just fine.
