The Couple to Couple League that John mentions does, by the way, provide some really good information--though I certainly do not endorse many of the specifically Catholic parts of its presentation. I wish there were a fundamental equivalent of it!

Nice rehash of Galbraith with a thin (very thin) veneer of Scripture, though. Too bad that the politics/economics of Galbraith are a chief contributor to human misery around the world.

You guys are being a little bit too cruel about this. Yes, he engaged in politics, and probably amassed too big a church to shepherd. But that doesn't negate the rest he did.

Neither am I, for what it's worth, and I'm skeptical. That said, this is at least the second article I've seen in the past 5 years that suggests that the speed of light is not constant over all time and space. It's interesting to contemplate the possibilities with this.

Scary stuff, and Dr. Mengele would be proud of them.

Other child abusers of this type; J.S. Bach, Martin Luther, John Wesley's parents, and more. May we get more, not less, such child abusers!

Now certainly we might do well to stop subsidizing maize, pushing our people to eat grains, fatty foods, meats, and dairy in lieu of vegetables and fruits. However, let's not forget for a second that we should be rejoicing that Europe and Asia are finally getting enough to eat.

(though to be sure, I'd include forensic evidence as a witness, as long as it didn't depend solely on the arresting officer)

I read an article this morning by a former Marine, and the advice for those caught in an ambush (and relentlessly trained into them) is to fire into it and advance. Maybe it's time to stop training people to roll over and play dead for attackers.

It's also worth noting that they're trying to create a timeline of human descent based (at least at their estimated time-frame of 1.5-2 million years ago) based on no more than two skulls. I'm not quite sure that, as a trained statistician, I'd put much confidence in a line drawn through only a few points like this.

So it's worth asking whether the Swedes were ever evangelized in the first place. They have churches, but a vibrant Gospel seems to have been denied them.
