Well, I want everybody to know
that i was incredibly honored and grateful that you wrote you wrote the afterword afterward for my book coming out this week uh if there is no god the battle over who defines good and evil that's the book and it is
God is the only absolute in the universe of relativity.
That's how I put it when I was in England studying in my junior year, and my roommate, an English kid like me, was a physics major, a physics major.
and uh he he he thought that belief in god is nonsense so he said so dennis what is god and i said god is the only absolute in the universe of relativity and his response was awesome he said oh
He didn't expect that a guy who believed in God could even utter a multi-syllabic word, let alone give him an answer like that.
But anyway, but that is the truth.
Or is there even good and evil?
There isn't good and evil.
There are just opinions about it.
I've been asking for 50 years.
I have been asking high school and college students who have a dog,
if they would save their dog that they love or a stranger first if both were drowning in virtually every instance across ethnic groups, across racial groups, across religious groups even.
the same exact answers.
One third the stranger, one third the dog, and one third didn't know.
So two thirds of Americans for 50 years, I could pretty positively say two thirds of Americans would not save the stranger.
And that's what set me off on this.
The reason I would save the stranger before the dogs I own and love is because that is the biblical demand, because we are created in the image of God, and animals are not.
Otherwise, I would vote along with the student.
And I would think that, Hey, I love my dog.
