I assume you are handling iM...Dear Chaplain Mike:<br /> <br />I assume you are handling iMonk’s mail. I am so sorry to hear of Michael’s failing health and am praying for him and his family. The giant hole in the blogosphere has been all too evident for months now. <br /> <br />For over a year I had plans to enlist Michael’s possible assistance regarding a book of a friend of mine. After Mike’s problems I forgot about it but then it dawned on me that perhaps the divine plan was all along that we help Mike. I spoke to my friend and he was all for my proposal—that we offer the book through the internetmonk website and contribute a portion of the proceeds to Mike and Denise. Would you be interested in exploring this with us?<br /> <br />My friend, John Simpson, wrote a book examining Charles Darwin and his theories titled, The Naked Darwin. It was intended to be available for the bicentennial of his birth and sesquicentennial of "da book", 2/12/2009, but it didn’t get done in time. It is ready for publication now and a few galley copies have been released. It is not a “bash Darwin mindlessly” book, nor an unquestioning affirmation of Darwin and his theories. It primarily sets forth how Darwin came to his conclusions—somewhat of a psychological biography in a sense. It mostly raises the question, “How did Darwin become to have such credibility and such a doting following given the gaps in the evidence and questions unanswered?”<br /> <br />The chapter titles are:<br /> <br />1. Before the Voyage<br />2. Around the World<br />3. Influences<br />4. Malthus<br />5. Annie<br />6. Barnacles and Pigeons<br />7. The Critics<br />8. The Triumph of Evolution<br />9. The Triumph of Propaganda<br />10.The Fossil Record<br />11.Lessons from Molecular Biology<br />12.The Possibility of Design<br />13.Lessons From Outer Space<br />14.Lessons From DNA<br />15.Final Thoughts<br /> <br />I would expect nothing until you had a chance to examine the book. Would you have any interest in doing so and considering the idea? If so, please send me an address to send the book to and we can follow up later after you have had a chance to review it.<br /> <br />Thank you,<br /> <br />Duane Young<br />29 Highland Lane<br />Chatham IL 62629<br />217 544-8500 <br /><br /><br />P.S. I note that you are from Franklin, Indiana—my wife’s best childhood friend is married to a chiropractor in Franklin—Jay Lumsden; small world! <br />P.P.S. I was trying to bve discreet but find no email address for you so I am using this outdated post with no comments. I hope you get this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232854287142132239noreply@blogger.com
