Science: Yes, amphibians (frogs and such) have
recently taken some big hits. But Wired reports that several
new species have recently been found.
The Arts: Wired has a gallery of artists'
conceptions of humans exploring Mars.
Computing: I was amazed to read that a court has
ruled that "liking"
on Facebook is
not
protected as free speech. According to Fox News, this will be
appealed.
Christianity: (or philosophy) Ken Schenck has a
brief, but excellent post (11 lines long!) on the relationship
between objectivity and faith.
A good summary of what Theistic
Evolution is all about, from the BioLogos Forum.
Anything that does not measurably harm someone by a reasonable person's standards IS FREE SPEECH.
ReplyDeleteSeems like there were lots of cases of where speech was eroded this past week:
Valedictorian that didn't get diploma because of using the word "hell" in her speech.
Kid that wore a Michigan T Shirt to a Texas School.
Thanks. To quibble a bit -- anything that can be construed as speech, and doesn't fail the "fire in a crowded theater" test should be free speech.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on all these cases, and would doubt that those rulings will stand, if pursued.
Agreed ... I over simplified it.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
