It's That 3-Letter Word Again

What does God see when he looks in the mirror?

Dog. Here puppy, puppy!

Unless he is looking into the Mirror of Erised. Hm...what would God see in the Mirror of Erised? What does He desire more than anything else in the whole universe (or multiverse)? Maybe He wants a body. Or world peace. Or a piece of cake.

More importantly, what does Dumbledore see when he looks into the Mirror of Erised? We all know it's not really socks.

Darwin's God

an interesting article from the Times magazine. I especially liked the part where they talk about "spandrel" (page 3), a term coined by some famous evolutionary biologist and his colleague that is used to describe "a trait that has no adaptive value of its own."

Sometimes there is no "why" or "what for"; it just is.

The link is a bit wrong - I think there's an extra http://

Now if God is all knowing and all powerful and if he looks into the Mirror of Erised and sees something does that mean God also has unlimited self-restraint?
