Around the Catholic Blogosphere

The Deeps of Time does science blogging, so you don't have to!

Really, he blogs about science and has the advantage of knowing something of what he talks about, where I just wing it and use Google a lot.

Today, he asks (basically); if one is a True Believer in Scientism, what does one propose when it begins to look like the deck of the universe has been stacked in favor of life? What sort of theory will you put forward to account for the growing number of uncomfortable cosmic coincidences? Something... anything! How about... a Multiverse? Yeah, that's the ticket. We'll find the evidence later.

Meanwhile, fellow Catholic artist Adam Derosiers has some ambitious new portrait work up at his blog. Looks like he has been trying out a slightly different approach, as well. Nice job, Adam! Let me be the first to ask "How long did that take?" (it seems like always the first thing people want to know).

Last but not least, American Papist, a) would like your vote to support him in a blogging scholarship competition (worth $10,000 bucks) AND... b) he reports that a "...Florida man was arrested Saturday morning after he allegedly tried to steal 'a handful of communion wafers' from a priest at a Catholic church".

The man was stopped by a couple of parishoners, aged 66 and 82. Yeah! Go old Catholic dudes!

This is exactly what I plan to do if confronted with the same situation in my parish; to use the minimum amount of force necessary to prevent it happening, and let the lawyers worry about sorting it out later.

I love Adam's art. I feel so blessed to interact with so many great artists in the blogosphere and to get to see all the fine work you produce because i know the realistic chance of me seeing them in realtime is miniscule.

Hey Tim, i just visited Adam's blog and followed a link from a commenter there on the post you link to....i clicked it and he too is an artist and that link took me to his flikr page....and this is my long winded way (i'm full of hot air...well, fat actually, but nevermind) of saying...look at this

You just never know where a thing will lead!

Thanks for this post :-)

thanks for the compliments!

How long did it take? I'd say 75 hours-ish. But I think the next painting I do at that size I should be able to bring down to 50-60 hours. But I'm gonna do a few smaller landscapes first.
