Sunday School MAR 6, 2011

(apologies to all as i've had to remove the first post and repost the links in a new post. some sort of glitch was preventing people from seeing the post.)

has life been found in a meteorite? if so, what would that mean for god?

Jewish groups are outraged over an attempt to ban circumcision in San Fransisco.

should Jesus be exempt from historical scrutiny?

evangelical Christians put on a Rock The Fort show at Fort Bragg complete with full support from the base including financial support. non-theist soldiers at the base complained leading the base command to state unequivocally that they would offer the same full support for an event that the non-theists would organize. so, they organized one. and when it came time to get the full support they were promised the promise was reneged on. now the event is canceled and law suits are in the offing.

Brian Switek on human evolution.

brood parasitism as a reproductive strategy. evolution isn't nice.

comets and lunar crater chains.

evangelicals hold social, economic, and political positions that are diametrically opposed to the positions we could expect them to hold if they truly followed Jesus' message. why do evangelicals hate Jesus?

check out this video of a talk by Dan Dennett discussing the similarities between human and non-human primate cognition.

in a marine worm's eye, the theory of evolution.

lots of people coming unglued at SCOTUS's decision siding with the Westboro Baptist Church but it's a very simple free speech issue.

The Science Network recently hosted Craig Venter, Richard Dawkins, and others to discuss the question, what is life?

worrying genetic changes in reprogrammed stem cells.

Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) isn't a competitor to Dark Matter and people should stop pretending it is.

creationists try new tactics to promote anti-evolutionary teaching in public schools.

how humans began life in outer space.

evolution in action. observing a split in the butterfly family tree.

there is no place in the law for Christianity says a High Court ruling in Britain.

intuitionist arguments against physicalism.

Alonzo Fyfe has "a special way of knowing" things.

the mere existence of whales seem to present a problem for evolution but is it?

Among the most productive spheres of science and philosophy, phrases like “atheism” and “secular morality” rarely appear because they are simply assumed.

this image is a fantastic way to help people understand the nature of microevolution and macroevolution.

I guess the cuckoo has a " special way of knowing " to deceive it's fellow winged neighbors! :)

I'm an amateur astronomer and the moon crater link was very interesting. My Celestron and I will have some fun for the next couple of nights!

Have a Happy Sunday everybody! :))
