Stephen Hawking Tackles Creation on "Curiosity"
The most famous scientist in the world, Stephen Hawking, has never avoided the big questions, from the nature of time to the fate of the universe.

Hawking will kick off Curiosity, the Discovery Channel’s weekly look (Sunday, 8 p.m. ET/ PT) at what research says about life’s big questions. It starts on Aug. 7., with an...

Abortion, part 2
Part 1
Unknown Facebook Lady comments:
I think abortion is wrong in the form of birth control!! If u can’t take care of a baby… Don’t get pregnant!

tehwatchdog:
Let’s start by assuming that I am a normal Christian. I live my life every day, trying to be a better person and imitate my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Then a question pops into my head: What exactly am I being saved from? Well OBVIOUSLY it’s sin. That’s what the Bible says, right? How did this sin get here?

Why Atheism Replaces Religion in Developed...
helvetebrann:
Atheists are heavily concentrated in economically developed countries, particularly the social democracies of Europe. In underdeveloped countries, there are virtually no atheists. Atheism is a peculiarly modern phenomenon. Why do modern conditions produce atheism? In a new study, I provide compelling evidence that atheism increases along with the quality of life (1).

Some background information for non UK people who may be reading this. Celtic and Rangers are rival football teams in Scotland, and there are lots of football related murders and the Celtic manager was attacked on the pitch and had a bomb mailed to him.
