Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christianity Today reports that many US Christians hold heretical beliefs about the gravity of sin, the importance of worshiping with others, and the nature of the Holy Spirit.
Finance: (or something) Scientific American reports that there
are now a
million electrically powered autos in the US.
Food: Listverse on the origins
of 10 common foods (including bagels, ice cream cones, and others.)
Health: Scientific American on doctors
being slow to use new technology. (The article says that
thermometers were resisted for a long time!)
History: About the
life of Ella Mae Wiggins, a textile worker who became a leader in
the struggle for better pay and conditions for textile workers, but who was shot to death in 1929, by textile mill security employees.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight has a solid analysis of how the Supreme Court responds to resistance to its actions from
Congress and/or the President, based on the history of such situations.
Science: Scientific American tells us the function of a horse's tail. Really.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, I believe, it is
public domain.
Thanks for looking!
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.
