Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christianity Today reports that evangelicals
are receptive to prison reform, but that most of them haven't done anything to help prisoners.
Relevant reports on a letter from black
church leaders, thanking Christianity Today for publishing a recent letter, calling for the removal of President Trump from office. The
article says that his support among African-Americans is very low.
Computing: (and Christianity) A plea to pastors and theologians to be careful of what they say on social media -- check sources, and don't merely repeat what others who share your particular prejudices have posted, for example.
Humor: (and romance) Relevant reports on a
dating site that requires agreement with a doctrinal statement. (A
Calvinist one)
Politics: FiveThirtyEight has done a survey, which indicates that President
Trump is less popular than Mike Pence, and almost as unpopular as
Sarah Palin.
Pete Enns says that
the word, or the country, America, is not in the Bible.
NPR says that there
are a lot of border walls in the world, but Trump's wall is most expensive, and indicates why that is so.
Science: Gizmodo reports that a
tiny parasite can affect the behavior of mice that are infected, including making them more likely to be caught by cats.
Gizmodo also reports
on a flying robot, with wings from those of dead pigeons.
Listverse discusses 10
conspiracy theories put forth by President Donald Trump.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it
is free to use like this.
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.
