Sunspots 424

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

Christianity: Weekend Fisher, always a careful and thoughtful writer, has written about the word "faith," as used in the New Testament. Essential reading.

Morgan L. Busse considers situations when God says "no."

Politics: (and Science) Mother Jones reports on a study that showed that attitudes toward global warming were more extreme, as scientific literacy increased -- both ways. Thus, a person who believes global warming is non-existent, or no threat, has a firmer opinion the more scientific knowledge she has. This was also true of fracking.

Science: Wired reports that genetically modified silkworms can produce fabric that glows in the dark.
