This is not a scientific theory
Science is empirical. Scientific theories must be testable and capable of being disproved by facts. We can never know what the inter-tribal range of religious opinion was in paleolithic times. We can never know whether less religious tribes (if there were any) were less socially cohesive, or whether social cohesion determined which tribes ...

Re: Collins is brilliant, but doesn't understand ID
Intelligent Design was completely misunderstood when it first was reported. It was based on a scientific paper by a microbiologist who discovered, ((by using the tools of measurement of science, (microscopes)), to study a single cell which has never been classified completely as either a plant or an animal. This is because it moves by its ...

Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor -- Says Roe Is "Settled Law"
All I need to know about today's U.S. Senate Nomination Hearing for Liberal New York City Feminist Sotomayor, is that she thinks the appalling pro-Abort ''Roe vs. Wade'' Supreme Court ''Decision'' of 1973, is ''Settled Law'' (her words.) Hispanic voters may be trending towards the Democratic Party side of the political ledger lately, and who ...

Who Do We Think We Are?
David Plotz feels as if he HAS to believe in a God as described in the Old Testament and then work backwards to work out how to believe in a God that could be so cruel; otherwise his choices are to believe in Christ as the son of God or in ''some vague 'creator' who is not remotely attached to the events of the Bible...'' So what? The Bible was ...

Fantastic article!
Someone tell me why those in the USA who try so hard to get the 10 commandments posted all over in our public square and taught to our kids in school break so many of them trying to get that done? And also fight so hard to take money from the poor and middle class and put in the hands of the rich? And also to keep corporate greed-based health ...

Returning to the lost Sunna of the prophet Isa (Jesus, SA)
Any good muslim will tell you that they desire a return to the principles of their ''religion'' which used to be, but is no longer, Monotheistic. The Trent council changed all of that and they ought to go back to that point in time to review where they went wrong by turning their faith into POLYTHEISM i.e. Trinitarianism. They are returning to ...

I always knew you had at least one puff piece in you...
...and I wish it had stayed in you. The movie you should have written about in your piece on Sarah Palin is David Cronenberg's The Dead Zone... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1VHSQV0yn8 Don't think I'm claiming to be what Pastor Ed of Wasilla Assembly of God claims to be - a prophet. One need not have powers of prognostication to know that ...

Franken on the Hill
Before we rebuild another country we need to clean our own house. By that I mean send career politicians packing, rather they be republican, democrat or an independent. Sorry this means Ted Kennedy needs to go home and fight his cancer and Oklahoma's Istook needs to return to mopping floors at the radio station. There could be worse things to ...

Hitch On Helms like White on Rice
Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

Both Rich AND Smart -- Now, THAT is RARE
I have been fulminating for years now about Harvard, and was happy to learn about Michael Kinsley's long ago household affiliation there. I was never headed for Harvard, but years later, learned that a high school classmate of mine, female from Homewood Floosmoor Community High School -- served Harvard as a Deputy Admissions Director for ...
