I like the use of rhetoric in “Explain/Worship/Ignore?”. It starts with a story, which is a nice and concrete way to draw the reader in. It also uses a computer control convention combined with underlining to repeatedly draw attention back to the main point. And then there’s this little gem:
We can hit Explain for the Big Bang, and wait while science grinds through its process, and maybe someday it will return a perfectly good explanation. But then that will just bring up another dialog box. So, if we continue long enough, we must come to a special dialog box, a new option, an Explanation That Needs No Explanation, a place where the chain ends—and this, maybe, is the only explanation worth knowing.
