Christopher Hitchens Debates Jay Richards at Stanford University
Christopher Hitchens and Jay Richards debated "Atheism vs Theism and the Scientific Evidence of Intelligent Design" recently at Dinkelspiel Auditorium, Stanford U. " Intelligent design " isn't a term Hitchens acknowledges. In order for intelligence to "design" it has to be exercised, and this in the minds of some demonstrates the hand of God at work. That nature has inherent design... (posted by Aidan 4 years 14 days ago.)

State Department Bloggers Pitching in Muslim Chat Rooms
Propaganda is somewhat passe in a world that is information driven and computer savvy. Obvious efforts to propagandize aren’t likely to influence people who have a shrewd grasp of global realities thanks to the internet. A straightforward message without the hype is more likely to get a positive reception. Seems the State Department is getting hip and employing a team of bloggers. This group...

Madeleine McCann : Rumors, Denial and DNA
The disappearance of Madeleine McCann while on a family vacation in Portugal, has generated more news coverage than some regional wars being waged around the globe. The fascination with this story is understandable as it is offensive. Its understandable because an innocent child was allegedly abducted while on vacation.

Abortion Rights and Roman Catholic Resistance
The very term "pro-life" seems beyond criticism. However when you look at the platform of the pro-life movement what emerges is a narrow minded and mean spirited vision that is in practice is so anti-life, it makes the 'pro-life' slogan seem like cruel irony. It is a given that anyone with a shred of humanity regards newborns as a blessing. We are all pro-life in that sense. What type of human wouldn't feel... (posted by Aidan 4 years 171 days ago.)

She established this reputation with her 1970 feminist polemic, The Female Eunuch , and with a few minor digressions has stayed pretty much true to form. You get the feeling Greer's need to cut a controversial swathe, is as much about grabbing attention as... (posted by Aidan 4 years 175 days ago.)
