Grief and consternation at AiG, but not a whole lot of either at my house. quote:
Dr. Henry Morris has died
February 25, 2006
Dr. Henry Morris, founder and president emeritus of the Institute for Creation Research and the “father” of the modern creationist movement (especially with The Genesis Flood, which he co-authored in the early 1960s) had in recent days suffered a series of debilitating small strokes, and passed into the presence of his Creator and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Saturday evening (February 25).
Don Knotts has also died. Of the two, "Barney Fyfe" is the greater loss.

Filthy, thank you for the news, sad that it is. There will never be another Don Knotts. Nervous Barney Fyfe with his one allowed cartridge in his front pocket. Anti-science nutcases like Henry Morris, sadly, will probably remain altogether too plentiful.

I know - Don Knotss AND Darren McGavin!
"Nip it! Nip it in the bud!"
"Fraaaageeeeeleeeeeeeee!"
As to Mr. Morris: if he was right, he has the last laugh ;-). One thing we will never know - I wonder if at the end, when his brain was starved of oxygen, did he see the white light, or, because of decades of religious indoctrination, his subconscious played a joke and flash images of hell? |

Oh, he was good. I'll miss him, too.

The two sides of the humor coin -- Knotts was naturally funny; but the I.G. dude was funny in a sad and pathetic sort of way. |

Yes, some people work hard to appear foolish for entertainment purposes, while others have genuine foolishness thrust upon them by a spiteful, mocking God.

Very sad. I'll always most remember Weaver as Chester, Marshall Dillon's limping deputy in the long-running TV series, "Gunsmoke," a favorite show of my Dad and I long ago.

I was quite surprised a few years ago upon seeing a TV celebrity close-up on him. Weaver had quite a cool Colorado house built in out of recycled material. http://www.dennisweaver.com/howearthshipworks.html
Looks like it's for sale.
Surfing around his above site looks like he was really involved with the environment/humanity...

Thanks for the links, Randy. It certainly appears Dennis Weaver spent his life well, and doing good that lives after him. Who could ask for a finer legacy?

Here's a bit more on Weaver. |
