I.L.I.

Yes, I've managed to collect the imported books - 5 of them. I'll start reading through them soon, though I've already read through one of them: 'Starlight & Time'. It's about white hole cosmology, which was further modified by another scientist in the book 'Starlight, Time, and the New Physics'.

In a similar breath, I have 'Dismantling the Big Bang' (supposed to be for Nathaniel who once contemplated the possibility of theistic evolution/origins, but now he'd first have to take time off gaming). So far it's quite good. Another book is 'Thousands, not Millions', where dating methods are criticized and some shown to prove a young earth instead. Finally, I have 'The Puzzle of Ancient Man', it tells of how out ancestors were advanced up to soon after Babel, and were never stupid cavemen.

hm.. I've never properly read books for a long time now (the last time was the memoirs of LKY). This will be an experience. If anybody want to borrow them, go ahead and ask! Just hope it's not too difficult! (Those mentioned in the 2nd paragraph aren't too technical)


Below is the description of the Common Social Role of a person with the same personality as me. I took it from WikiSocion. Do any sound like me? hehs

1. The computer geek who lives in virtual reality and understands computers and Internet communication, but lacks experience in real-life social situations.
2. The mystic or spiritual philosopher who is into all things mystical, esoteric, or eastern and makes little sense to the material-minded.
3. The encyclopedist or librarian type who knows literally all there is to know about vast areas of knowledge, but does not use his or her knowledge at work.
4. The office introvert who will not let a sentence mean anything but what was technically said, and doesn't care about how uncomfortable he is making his co-workers. In his defense, he knows more than you about your job.
