The Methodist Blogs Weekly Roundup has been posted. Thanks to Allan Bevere for his hard work. I’m doing today what I wish I always had time to do, which is look at a bunch of the posts and pick out some of my own highlights. These don’t coincide with the “Best of the Methodist [...] Those interested in the situation in [tag]Myanmar[/tag] (formerly Burma) will be interested in this story from ScienceNOW published by the AAAS. Researchers used high resolution images from commercial satellites to confirm a substantial number of reports of atrocities by the Burmese military. For those interested in taking action, see the U. S. Campaign for Burma. I just read two excellent articles on Bible translation, one on a blog, and the other coming to me via e-mail. It seems to be very difficult for people to get an idea of just how language works. The notion that each word has a fixed, eternal, precise meaning just seems to hang [...] The debate about labels is one of the most interesting aspects of the creation-evolution controversy to me, and at the same time one of the most frustrating. Since my primary training is in Biblical languages, and by my own efforts in linguistics, the way words are used simply fascinates me. There is plenty of influence [...] Akismet has grabbed a few comments again, largely on the Jena 6 issue. If anyone did comment and thought you had been censored, it was inadvertent.

I just love it when someone provides us with some information we couldn’t have figured out for ourselves: “We’re still in the driver’s seat,” manager Lou Piniella said. “We’ve just got to start [...] MSNBC.com reports that Mychal Bell has been released on bail. More importantly, the prosecutor is says he will no longer fight the ruling of the appeals court that requires Bell be tried as a juvenile. This is good news. Now a juvenile court needs to deal with this in an even-handed manner, but one [...] In my Breaking Christian News e-mail today the headline story was Depictions of Noah, the “Wet One”, Discovered in Ancient Greek Art. This sort of thing makes me crazy. The article will leave many Christians with the impression that somehow Greek archeology or [tag]Greek Mythology[/tag] has now produced some sort of proof for the stories [...] Senator [tag]Larry Craig[/tag] apparently lacks even the integrity to resign. He’s decided to hang on because a judge has taken his request to have his guilty plea withdrawn “under advisement” according to MSNBC’s First Read. This guy is an embarrassment to the nation and should resign now. |
