It’s probably fair to say that people are not always aware of their own improper language. An example that comes to mind is the phrase, “Oh my God!” If someone says God’s name and is not speaking to or about God, he is using the Lord’s name as a slang word. Regardless of one’s religious faith, professionalism means respect toward the sacred words and symbols of others.

My friend Bill Taylor writes a newspaper column called, “It Seems to Me” that features his musings on a wide range of subjects. This post about dreams falls into my own “it seems to me” category. Since I have almost no formal training in the field of psychology, I am fully prepared for a professional psychologist to take me behind the woodshed and beat some sense into me.

Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is being dismantled and refuted right before our very eyes, scientifically, mathematically, logically, philosophically, and theologically by a cadre of well-trained and intelligent “outsiders” whose names appear throughout the remainder of this post.

Based on public image, who would you rather hang out with, Woody Allen or Steve Allen? (Forget for a minute that Steve Allen is dead.) Both made a lot of money, achieved significant fame and are known for the funny things they said. Who would you choose?
