Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christian History
has published an issue on the
church's response to Darwin, from the time of the publication of The
Origin of Species to the Scopes trial. The issue is available as a free .PDF file.
Ken Schenck has summarized his view on how
to interpret scripture. Readable, and concise.
Politics: National Public Radio reports that we may pick our location,
at least to some extent, to accord with our political preferences.
An editorial in The Washington Post says that, in government, managing for efficiency is not rewarded. In fact, managing inefficiently may
be.
Science: Wired reports that lemurs
can anticipate what other animals will see, but not what they will
hear.
USA Today reports that pre-wedding
jitters may predict problems in the marriage.
National Public Radio reports that our brains geotag memories, so that events
are associated with places.
NASA has posted a video on sungrazing
comets. By the time you read this, Comet Ison will, or will not, have
survived its trip near the sun. (It probably did survive, or some of it did.)
