Meandering in the News
1. 950 times, and not one more beyond that!

4. China is on the move … $10B to Africa.
5. Volterra — we loved our visit to this place.
7. Ancient Hebrew cosmology: nice graphic. (HT: Akma)
9. My advice for the British — don’t take this stuff personally or seriously: “I would say Britain is stumbling because they don’t spend as much time polishing up their appearance and they are letting themselves down on physical fitness,” Beautiful People managing director Greg Hodge said. “Next to Brazilian and Scandinavian beauties, British people just aren’t as toned or glamorous. Only the male Russian and Polish applicants fared worse than British men, although Russian women had a 44 percent acceptance rate. Polish women did not appear in the table.”

Theology After Darwin 1 (RJS)
One of the more important and more difficult pieces of the puzzle as we feel our way forward at the interface of science and faith is the theological implications of discoveries in modern science. A comment on my post Evolution in the Key of D: Deity or Deism noted: ...this reminds me of why I get a
