There are a number of news areas I follow regularly but don’t comment on, and space flight is one of them. Nonetheless as both a science fiction fan, and an advocate of sound science, I have been very excited to see the development of the private space industry. Today, in catching up on news reading, [...] Joe Carter caught my attention again today with his post This I No Longer Believe: 5 Lessons Learned from the Iraq War. Now he’s responding to this post by Rod Dreher, but I actually found his list more interesting. I’m not going to make my own list, because I don’t think I’ve learned five things [...] My sister e-mail me a link to this article on to me via e-mail. Pope Benedict XVI said the debate raging in some countries — particularly the United States and his native Germany — between creationism and evolution was an “absurdity,” saying that evolution can coexist with faith. The pontiff, speaking as he was concluding his [...] According to this story on MSNBC.com democratic presidential contenders are snubbing the DLC meeting in Tennessee this weekend.

People stupid enough to jail these folks shouldn’t be allowed to [...] I’m promoting a comment by Jonathan Bartlett, who deserves some response where it will be seen, and also a link to his material. So I’m going to quote his comment in full and then give my response. “If one can fully analyze and test a model, one can assemble that model based on hypothesis and [...] Adrian Warnock has written an interesting and challenging post titled I DON’T WANT BALANCE, I WANT IT ALL!. There is a great deal in that post with which I not only sympathize, I empathize–I’ve been there. For me one place I want both is in the intensity of much charismatic worship. I have experienced [...] OK, I’m generally pretty slow in getting on these political cases, and this is no exception. But Laura is right about this case and the need to get something done. I suspect the online position will not be useful either, but perhaps some mail to the appropriate government officials will help. Public opinion, properly [...] One frequent response I get when criticizing certain views of creation is that I believe the people who hold those views are wrong, not really Christian, and/or are incredibly stupid.
