The Curious Incident
While I continue to be an impatient patient my reading list grows. On the recommendation of Randy Harris I read "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time." Quite curious indeed - written from the perspective of a young autistic mathematics savant.
One short passage: "And people who believe in God think God has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo" (165). Curious, never thought about evolution leading us to be the featured exhibit in a zoo.
On to Table Rock lake later this week. I hope to have many reports and pictures to share when we return.
