Sunspots 55

Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:

Thanks to a correspondent who sent me these two links:

Visible Earth is a site with images of the earth from NASA.

The official Vatican astronomer says that young-earth creationism is a "form of superstitions paganism"

From blog.bioethics.net, a post linking to two research articles indicating that not only do next of kin have trouble in making end-of-life decisions as a terminal patient would want them to, but patients make different decisions for themselves as their condition changes.

President Bush delivered a commencement address at Oklahoma State U., mostly about the benefits and risks of technology in our lives.

Some photos of tiny animals from the Sargasso Sea.

Kevin Wright on relevant preaching (he thinks it's got its dangers).

This week's Christian Carnival is at this blog. I don't have a URL for the Carnival post, itself. (For information on locating these Carnivals, see here)

When I don't tell where I found an item above, I either found it directly, or was probably pointed to it by the Librarian's Internet Index, SciTech Daily, or Arts and Letters Daily. All of them are great.
