Sunspots 976

Things I have spotted that may be of interest to others: 

The BBC reports on the discovery of very large squid. (or is it squids?)

A-z animals, and other sources, report on a newly discovered orangutan population.

Ken Schenck discusses the importance of context in Bible interpretation.

Ars Technica, and other outlets, report on experiments that show that bonobos can tell when a human doesn't know the location of a treat, as compared to when the human does know.

Yahoo! and other outlets report that a group of over a thousand dolphins has been seen in the Pacific.

Columbia Journalism Review reports on Elon Musk's dislike of the Wikipedia.

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

Ken Schenck, yet again (this topic won't go away) on women in ministry. Schenck is a professor of religion, and he is in favor of females in ministry, and summarizes the scriptural evidence for his position.

I've finally entered the 21st century, more or less. I just went to a Myspace page. (Until now, I've avoided such) It happens to be the page of George MacDonald, 19th century author . . .

Mike has had an apocalyptic dream , somewhat like those of Daniel and John.

This week's Christian Carnival is here. (For information on locating these Carnivals, see here) (I'm on hiatus, so did not have an entry)

When I don't tell where I found an item above, I either found it directly, or was probably pointed to it by the Librarian's Internet Index, SciTech Daily, or Arts and Letters Daily. All of these sources are great.

Thanks for reading! Keep clicking away.

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

From last week's Christian Carnival, a short, but scriptural and pertinent, entry on holding the tongue. Another one (by a woman) on undressed women in church. Parableman discusses arguments for and against various models of origins, based on the amount of time God might have taken to create things.

A Complete Guide to Digital Cameras and Photography (On-line shortcourse ).

A thorough attempt at answering "What Makes Christian Speculative Fiction 'Christian', Anyway?"

First Thoughts on Christian Writing, from Mike. (He points out that bloggers are writers!)

A Jewish contributor to Slate, who hasn't really read the Old Testament before, is reading through it. (The link is to the 4th post. There will probably be later ones.)

A gallery of photos of crop circles, from Wired. Some of them are amazing!
