I stopped posting here and am now at medschneverends

Hi. Welcome to Epiblast! The name is partly inspired by PZ Myers famous blog, Pharyngula partly by the fact that the epiblast, a simple tissue in a developing embryo (labelled 5), gives rise, eventually, to virtually everything inside our body. It's a metaphor for how some of our simple, fundamental ideas vastly affect the other aspects of our life. This blog covers my interests; usually science, medicine, atheism, religion. I might sneak in a bit of philosophy or magic if I feel like it. I warn you, the discussion gets uncomfortable and I come to conclusions which are unconventional, maybe contradictory to yours. Don't go crying to someone if you are offended.

Reality Check

I was doing a bit of research for my miracles workshop in July. I came across this little passage in a book by David Mills (my emphasis).
"For every person "miraculously" healed against the odds, there is another who, against the odds, died a premature meaningless death. For every magnificent sunset to behold, there is another child stricken with leukemia. For every breathtaking night sky filled with radiant stars, an unexpected heart attack turns a happy wife into a grieving widow. The universe in which we live is located equidistant between absolute order and absolute chaos - a neutral position which we should expect from a universe impervious to our wishes."
The universe doesn't care. Why does it matter? If you face reality, you will ultimately be happier than living in your own bubble of fantasy because then there is nothing to burst. Seriously.
