News
No Back to the Future?– Fox News
Because knowing whether we can travel in time is important, a group of scientists recently published what they claim to be conclusive evidence that we cannot.
Perhaps they can now turn their attention to finding Osama bin Laden or inexpensively increasing the productivity of Latin American farms.
Native American Trackers Hunt bin Laden– Fox News
Native American people trackers are now being used to train local people trackers in the ‘Stan region surrounding Afghanistan and Pakistan. The goal? To find Osama bin Laden because apparently politicians and bad rules of engagement are preventing us from doing it.
Google Hunts bin Laden– Wired
Perhaps an open source hunt for bin Laden is the ticket as Google has posted some very specific, very detailed maps of parts of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. We can all join in the fun!
Supervolcano Under Yellowstone Is Very Active– Fox News
Neat science about future big explosions.
Where’s the Life?– Fox News
Well, apparently, there’s all kinds of water on Mars. So where’s the life? I guess it all depends on what you thing about life to begin with…
Commentary
Countering the Global Warming Fanaticism– Pajamas Media
Not quite a Oscar winning film presentation, but a good argument against the falsehood that ‘global warming’ is a manmade phenomenon as a result of global industrialism.
Just When You Thought All Was Lost in Iraq– Slate
The Iraqis seem to be getting their act together, and in a unified sort of way. How are we loosing again?
Hope for Iraq and the United States– Michael Yon Online
An Irishman Dies for Freedom– BlackFive
A story worth reading about how one man’s life and death can change at least some small part of the world.
Someone Else Notices We’re Not Losing in Iraq- TCS Daily
And Someone Notices That Technology Makes Our Lives Better, Not Hotter–TCS Daily
Three cheers for the internal combustion engine!
Faith
One Justification, Sanctification, and Works– Tarheel Lutheran
Here is a great exposition on the relationship between our justification, our sanctification, and our works of faith.
