The presentation is part of the Di- versitas speaker series, which aims to promote dialogue—something Andrew Bergen very much sees sat- ire as being effective in generating. “I think I’ve learned that satire is effective in drawing attention to cer- tain issues and instigating or pro- voking dialogue,” said Bergman, who will make his address next Thursday, Oct. 26, at 7 p.m. at Northlands Park- way Collegiate. “I think the Internet itself is some- times limited in that. I think that face to face conversations are signifi cant- ly more effective than anything we do on the Internet,” said Bergman, who has been building a career as a novelist and ghostwriter while gain- ing a Facebook following for The Dai- ly Bonnet that currently sits at about 20,000 followers and over four mil- lion views. “Sometimes satire can maybe make you think of an issue from a different angle or a different perspective from what you thought of it initially,” he said. “There’s other forms of writing that can do that too, but I think satire particularly hones in on certain an- gles and perspectives. It works well for that kind of thing. “So I hope that people will have a better understanding of what sat- ire is ... I’m also going to talk a little bit about comedy in general ... how it works ... and specifi cally how it all ties into the Mennonite culture.” And there are certainly misconcep- tions about that culture, added Berg- man, who recalled reading an online Mennonite encyclopedia that basi- cally suggested Mennonites did not have much of a sense of humour. “But the article was written in the late ‘80s ... I think Mennonites are much more able to laugh at them- selves,” he said. Bergman believes his readership is not just restricted to Mennonites, though they likely represent a major- ity of it. “I think a lot of the humour sort of transcends ... other cultures and faiths that are similar,” he suggested, noting what also makes The Daily Bonnet work is that it taps into cur- rent world events. He is surprised, though, just how far his work has gone in a short time. “It’s been surprising that people are still reading it ... and it’s surpris- ing that I’m still able to come up with ideas.”

While this idea is not popular among evolutionists, it is supported by the unique structure The store’s success supports of the human vocal tract. No other creature has anything like it. The human larynx is placed low in the throat. That placement creates a sound chamber that allows us to make language expressive. Moreover, the placement prevents us from breathing and eating or drinking at the same time. But we are not born that way. A newborn’s larynx is placed higher up in the throat, allowing a baby to breathe and suckle at the same time. By the time a child is six,and has no need to suckle and breathe at the same time, but is learning language, the larynx has moved to its adult position. This obviously designed arrangement in support of human speech presents only more prob- lems for the evolutionist. But for those who believe in our Creator God, it is one more testimony of His wise handiwork. Prayer: Dear Father, I thank and praise You for the gift of speech. Amen.
