Biologos

There is a new science web site out that more closely matches my outlook on the interaction between science and religion than most others, even better than RTB in my opinion. It is called BioLogos and was founded by Francis Collins and involves Karl Giberson as well. I've read recent books by both of these men, The Language of God by Collins and Saving Darwin by Giberson. Both of these books were instrumental in keeping me from dumping Christianity as incompatible with reality. They are quite sharp with the science and are Christians at the same time. I think I'm going to enjoy following their blog too.

From the blog:

Francis Collins on the Goals of BioLogos

In a recent interview with Christianity Today, available from the publication's website, Francis Collins discusses what he hopes the BioLogos Foundation can accomplish through its website and other projects.

"My hope would be that we are hub of activity," says Collins. "There are other groups that have been pursuing these kinds of questions and trying to seek harmony instead of conflict, but they are relatively few and not all that visible. If there's something we can do to try to help build those links, we'd love to do that."

Our website, www.biologos.org, provides a wealth of other interviews and presentations by Francis, Karl, and Darrel that present the goals and ideas of BioLogos and a harmony between the worlds of science and religion. We encourage you to take the time to explore them, along with our other resources of recommended books, media collections, and articles.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,...

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome
