Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: God and Nature
magazine reports on how and why a mature Christian couple changed
their beliefs about the age of the earth.
Health: (or ethics, or sex) National Public Radio reports on the question of "Can
Elderly Patients With Dementia Consent To Sex?"
Humor: (sort of) A photo of what
happens when you try to drive in wet concrete.
Science: In case you didn't know it, there has been some doubt that Tyrannosaurus
rex was really a savage predator, but might have merely scavenged
on dead animals. National Public Radio reports on good evidence that it was, indeed, a
hunter of other dinosaurs.

Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.

1) Sex being primal/instinctual is less of a consent even among the loving and passionate.
Just a statement, nothing more, but the motivations and "consent" usually has little to do with whether you want to or not. In fact, most times, it seems to be because one was asked, seduced, or feels the need to mask an insecurity.
2) I've read some articles that question the existence of Tyranosaurs entirely saying that they were piced together improperly or maybe even fused from several dinosaurs ~ so few complete specimens have ever been found.
There's something in what you say about sex, indeed, atlibertytosay.
I'm sure that such articles, on Tyrannosaurus, exist, and there may have been some paleontological mistakes, but I'm going with mainstream scientists on this one.
Thanks.
