Ok, I lied... this is my last post for today... smilewinkgrin

Alan and I will be going to the EPS/ETS Conference next week in Valley Forge/King of Prussia, PA. Alan's going to present a paper on Friday morning from 10:35-11:15 in the Scantion Hotel Gettysburg Room about "Presentism, Truthmakers, and God". I think it'll be very interesting.

Basically (as far as I understand it), Alan will argue that if you're a presentist, it seems that to ground truth about happenings in history there must be a necessary truth-bearer that exists now (ie, God)... that is, the truth of what actually happened in history remains true because it's in God's memory which is infallible and eternally existing. (This is just my understanding of it)

So if any of you are going to the conference and would be interested in meeting up with us for lunch, dinner, or snack, let us know--feel free to send a PM to me. :-)

My new mantra of the month:

VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

(screetch)... VVRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

Will tapes be available?

Shout if you folks make it to Minnesota.

Contradictions if well understood and managed can spark off the fires of invention. Orthodoxy whether of the right or of the left is the graveyard of creativity.

It was my joy to meet with Alan and ViolinForGod for dinner on Thursday evening. They were as wonderful to talk to in person as on this board.

I would encourage everyone take any advantage to meet with any of the folks on this board if the opportunity arises.

Also had an unexpected treat on Sunday. The Doc was in town and I was able to meet with him for about an hour for breakfast as he moved like the wind from one place to another. As always it is good to meet up with old friends.

peace, don

Hey Don!

Yeah, that was really cool to meet with you too! Glad that you were able to catch up with Doc as well. Keep us informed with how everything is going over there as well. In case anyone comes down to this neck of the woods, or (ahem) desert, let us know!
