This whale has just popped by to tell me that it's not descended from a Hippo ![]() http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4631396.stm Thanks to Dave Bell for the link Speaking of Hippos, I found it illuminating to learn that these laconic looking creatures kill more people in Africa than any other creature. Aha! Man must be descended from Hippos. (Well, at least in spirit.) ![]() |

Interesting article from the BBC today.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4645896.stm It appears that so many hikers have been asking to have their cremated ashes spread on particular mountain peaks that the added miconutrients, such as phosphorous and calcium, is causing a problem. The vegetation is growing much more abundantly and luxuriously than it was before. Unfortunately, this same article did not explain why this is considered to be a problem? Why isn't this just a good example of "serendipity meets ID"? ![]() The hikers, after all, must be delighted. ![]() |

Do you realize, David, that all we really have to do is establish a core course for all schools: "'National Geographics,' - Your World" and present videos.
The important point will be made without our ever having to mention the words God or evolution. Nature, at least, does not get better with words. ![]() |

Anglican leader opposes creationism in schools LONDON (Reuters) - The spiritual leader of the world's Anglicans does not believe that creationism -- the Bible-based account of the world's origins -- should be taught in schools. "I don't think it should, actually. No, No," said Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, reflecting on the bitter education debate over religion and science that has so divided the United States in particular. Williams, head of a church which has no problem with the Darwinian theory of evolution, told the Guardian newspaper: "I think creationism is, in a sense, a kind of category mistake, as if the Bible were a theory, like other theories." Asked if he was comfortable with the teaching of creationism in schools, the mild-mannered and usually cautious theologian said: "Not very. Not very." . . . Williams' stance echoes the position of the Roman Catholic Church, the world's largest single Christian denomination, which has weighed into the debate by praising a U.S. court decision that rejected the intelligent design theory as non-scientific. Catholicism, which has never rejected evolution, teaches that God created the world and the natural laws by which life developed. . . . ![]() |
