Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Science:
I have recently found "Quintessence of Dust," a blog by a Christian and a scientist. Two excellent (but long) posts are "They selected teosinte. . .and got corn," and "How to evolve a protein in (about) 8 easy steps."
Wired says that there is growing evidence that we are nearing the end of the oil supply, and that alternatives aren't sufficient, so far, at least.
Nature News reports on why small mammals, such as chipmunks, seem reluctant to cross roads.
Nature News also reports on advances in stem cell research, including an apparent important breakthrough, namely the production of human cells that are like embryonic stem cells by reprogramming adult human skin cells. This may (and may not) mean that there is no longer a research reason for taking stem cells from human embryos. The article indicates some of the questions about this technique, including the possibility that these reprogrammed cells might cause cancer.
Christianity:
In Christianity Today: "Answering the Atheists: A Reader's Digest version of why I am a Christian."
This week's Christian Carnival is here. For information on these Carnivals, go here.
Thanks for reading! Keep clicking away.
