Increasing electric load growth in the San Juan Basin region of Colorado and New Mexico, in residential, commercial and industrial sectors, has put a strain onthe existing electrical system.
Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association (Tri-State) is proposing a new project that would involve the construction of a 230-kilovolt transmission line from the Farmington area in northwest New Mexico to Ignacio, Colorado. This line and supporting electrical facilities are needed to provide the power delivery infrastructure for the San Juan Basin that will relieve transmission constraints, serve new loads and offer economic development through renewable energy opportunities.
Tri-State is requesting right-of-way grants from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) as well as financial assistance from the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) for their San Juan Basin Energy Connect Project. The Western Area Power Administration (Western) also is a cooperating agency.
Prior to making a decision about whether to approve funding requests or to grant rights-of-way for the proposed project, federal agencies including the BLM, BIA, RUS and Western are required to conduct environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in accordance with federal agency policies and procedures.
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) requires federal agencies to consider the effects of their undertakings on historic properties and affords the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation a reasonable opportunity to comment. Section 7 requires federal agencies to evaluate impacts to species that are listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The BLM is the lead federal agency for NEPA, NHPA, Section 106 and ESA Section 7 review and compliance. The BIA, RUS, Western and the Southern Ute Indian Tribe are cooperating in these processes. Additional agencies may coordinate throughout the life of the project.

Friends of Youth
Friends of Youth is a locally designed, culturally consistent adolescent reproductive health project taking place in Kenya.
Friends of Youth is a locally designed, culturally consistent adolescent reproductive health project taking place in Kenya. Originally called the Nyeri Youth Health Project (NYHP), Friends of Youth is a collaboration between the Population Council, the Family Planning Association of Kenya, and the Nyeri community in Central Province, Kenya.
Based on formative research among youth and adults in Nyeri, the NYHP employed respected parents nominated by the community to give young people (ages 10–24 years) sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information and to promote an improved environment responsive to their reproductive health information and service needs. The project was locally designed and consistent with Kikuyu culture where, traditionally, parents ask adults whom they trust to provide sexual and reproductive health information to their children as they undergo puberty rites.
In addition, formative research revealed that young people often visit private providers when they require reproductive health services. The NYHP trained a network of collaborating service providers, mostly from the private sector, on SRH and youth-friendly services. Young people in need of services were given coupons that entitled them to subsidized SRH services at participating service providers.
The intervention, which lasted from 1997 to 2001 was evaluated using a quasi-experimental research design in which baseline and endline surveys were conducted in both experimental and control sites. Overall, the project did not promote experimentation with sex or promiscuity, a fear that many policymakers have regarding family life education. The NYHP made significant impacts on a number of behavioral indicators, including condom use, secondary virginity, and reduction in the number of sex partners.
The extent to which the project had an impact on young people differed for girls compared to boys. The most ambitious objective of the project was to delay the age of sexual initiation among young people in the project area. The NYHP had a marginal impact on boys' initiation of sex, with the project site variable being predictive of delayed sexual initiation at the level of p<0.1. The NYHP made considerable impact in preventing young people from experiencing negative consequences of sexual activity.
Girls in the experimental site were significantly more likely to adopt secondary abstinence (odds ratio [OR] 3.3) and less likely to have had three or more sex partners (OR 0.1), compared to girls in the control site. Boys were significantly more likely than boys in the control site to have used a condom at last sex (OR 3.7). The fact that the NYHP did not impact upon girls' condom use is probably a reflection of the fact that they traditionally have little control over use of this method, and that the boys or men with whom they have sex are often older than the boys targeted in this intervention.
The project also improved the environment for young people in terms of communication on reproductive health issues. Both males and females in the project site were more likely to discuss SRH issues with a nonparent adult than were young people in the control site (OR 1.9 and 5.5, respectively).
The NYHP was unique in that it was designed and managed by the local community. The project demonstrated that a program that is well designed and well implemented can bring about behavior change among young people in sub-Saharan Africa.
Friends of Youth
With the support of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) beginning in 2004, the NYHP has been scaled up to urban areas in Central Province (Nyahururu and Thika) and slums in Nairobi. Because it has expanded beyond Nyeri, the project is now more commonly referred to as Friends of Youth. Support from the CDC has allowed the project to add subsidized HIV voluntary counseling and testing services for young people in addition to the regular subsidized reproductive health services.

'Zero Dark Thirty' Director Kathryn Bigelow On Portraying Osama Bin Laden's Death
December 18th, 2012 12:20pm EST
Zero Dark Thirty is director Kathryn Bigelow's eagerly anticipated follow-up to her Oscar winning film The Hurt Locker. It is also the eagerly anticipated portrayal of the SEAL Team Six mission that killed Osama bin Laden last year. With all that attention on her, Bigelow had to decide just how to show bin Laden in the film. We do catch glimpses of his body after the raid, but never a clear close-up of his face.
thinking was this is about the people, the men and women on the ground in the workforce, who found this house and then therefore found this man," Bigelow said. "Ultimately, it's not really about him as much as it's about them. They humanized that hunt and humanized that journey. It's their story."
The film portrays the 10 year investigation that located bin Laden's Abottobad, and Bigelow recreated the raid with her crew. "I think it was very important to us and certainly from the script to really give the audience a sort of 'you are there' feel to this piece," she said. "The raid was the most challenging logistically, I think, because we had to shoot in low light conditions to replicate a moonless night and then no light conditions to use the night vision goggles, which were real night vision lenses that we adapted to our camera lenses and they only work in zero light conditions. You have about 100 crew members and 22 Seals traipsing around a pitch black, rubble strewn set which was kind of interesting. But again, the desire was to make it feel like you are there. I don't mean a lot of subjective camera, but nonetheless a kind of sense that it feels real and that it's unfolding around you in real time."
Zero Dark Thirty opens in select cities Wednesday, and opens wide January 11.

12 oz bottle poured into a 14 oz "pint" glass. Pours a orange yellow, very cloudy, with a fluffy white head. Smells of sweet grain, nothing really stands out. Tastes of grain with a tad of aging like from a barrel. Beer carbonated well light body goes down nice. Overall a slightly above average beer.

I have never been with any of the beers from st george. Its a shame since they are a local brewery. Would really like to have this be better.
Probably the palest scratch ale I have ever seen. I don't think it tastes or looks like a Scotch ale. Definitely not very sweet, the mouth feel isn't at all sticky like decent scotch ales.
I gave this beer a 3 across the board. Average in Every way. I won't be picking this upon again.

Hazy honey gold pour with 1/2 finger medium cream head. No retention and very little lace.
Nose is strong peat, honey, iced tea, light earthy metal, and ... bacon. Very interesting. Metals cancel out the peat, but the bacon is interesting.
Big tea and peat taste. Very nice and moderately smoky. Tannin from the tea really kicks in at the end. Bready malt inserts itself in there over that tannin.
Feel is moderate and matches the flavors.
Overall, not a great beer but as a fan of Scotch ales I would seek this one out.

I haven't reviewed a beer in who the hell knows how long, so you can probably safely ignore this.
Dark amber in appearance, golden honey-colored at the edges. Ivory, creamy head is never high and quickly reduces to a thin film across the top of the brew with a slightly thicker ring at the edge.
Smells of peaty, smoky malt, clover honey, and apple fruitiness.
Taste mirrors the nose closely with smoked peat, corn syrup, and honey flavors. Faint pear-like notes. Distant touch of tea-like hops that do little to balance.
Carbonation is relatively low. Feels a little heavier than the lowish level of alcohol would suggest...kind of syrupy.
Reminiscent of Belhaven's flagship...a lower-alcohol Scottish Ale (think that, as a Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy on BA as opposed to a Scottish Ale, it may be miscategorized, but I'll leave that question to the philosophers) that capably holds its own as a malty cold-weather seasonal.

Honestly: Did you expect North Dakota freshman and Twitter preacher Rocco Grimaldi to celebrate his first NCAA goal with anything other than Tebowing?
It was an emotional moment for Grimaldi, getting his first career goal after missing six games this season with a lower-body injury, and on a nifty play: He "entered the zone one-on-two, zipped across the slot to cross-up the defenders, then ripped a snap shot high over" the goalie's glove, according to the Grand Forks Herald.
The Sioux lost to Minnesota, 3-2, to sweep their regular-season series for the first time since 1996.
Was this an intentional Tebowing or a religious player celebrating as religious players do? Well, consider that Tim Tebow, the Denver Broncos quarterback whose one-knee on-field prayer inspired this meme, is an idol for Grimaldi.
From the Sun Sentinel, on what Rocco admires about Tim:
"His faith, first and foremost. For me being a strong Christian, that's one of the big reasons: How he le...

Selective Small Molecule Peptidomimetic Ligands of TrkC and TrkA Receptors Afford Discrete or Complete Neurotrophic Activities Chemistry & Biology, Volume 12, Issue 9, 1 September 2005, Pages 1015-1028 Maria Clara Zaccaro, Hong Boon Lee, Mookda Pattarawarapan, Zebin Xia, Antoine Caron, Pierrre-Jean L'Heureux, Yoshua Bengio, Kevin Burgess and H. Uri Saragovi Summary We designed a minilibrary of 55 small molecule peptidomimetics based on β-turns of the neurotrophin growth factor polypeptides neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and nerve growth factor (NGF). Direct binding, binding competition, and biological screens identified agonistic ligands of the ectodomain of the neurotrophin receptors TrkC and TrkA. Agonism is intrinsic to the peptidomimetic ligand (in the absence of neurotrophins), and/or can also be detected as potentiation of neurotrophin action. Remarkably, some peptidomimetics afford both neurotrophic activities of cell survival and neuronal differentiation, while others afford discrete signals leading to either survival or differentiation. The high rate of hits identified suggests that focused minilibraries may be desirable for developing bioactive ligands of cell surface receptors. Small, selective, proteolytically stable ligands with defined biological activity may have therapeutic potential. Summary | Full Text | PDF (515 kb) |
Recruitment of Actin Modifiers to TrkA Endosomes Governs Retrograde NGF Signaling and Survival Cell, Volume 146, Issue 3, 5 August 2011, Pages 421-434 Anthony W. Harrington, Coryse St. Hillaire, Larry S. Zweifel, Natalia O. Glebova, Polyxeni Philippidou, Simon Halegoua and David D. Ginty Summary The neurotrophins NGF and NT3 collaborate to support development of sympathetic neurons. Although both promote axonal extension via the TrkA receptor, only NGF activates retrograde transport of TrkA endosomes to support neuronal survival. Here, we report that actin depolymerization is essential for initiation of NGF/TrkA endosome trafficking and that a Rac1–cofilin signaling module associated with TrkA early endosomes supports their maturation to retrograde transport-competent endosomes. These actin-regulatory endosomal components are absent from NT3/TrkA endosomes, explaining the failure of NT3 to support retrograde TrkA transport and survival. The inability of NT3 to activate Rac1-GTP–cofilin signaling is likely due to the labile nature of NT3/TrkA complexes within the acidic environment of TrkA early endosomes. Thus, TrkA endosomes associate with actin-modulatory proteins to promote F-actin disassembly, enabling their maturation into transport-competent signaling endosomes. Differential control of this process explains how NGF but not NT3 supports retrograde survival of sympathetic neurons. Summary | Full Text | PDF (1620 kb) |
Structural and Mechanistic Insights into Nerve Growth Factor Interactions with the TrkA and p75 Receptors Neuron, Volume 53, Issue 1, 4 January 2007, Pages 25-38 Tom Wehrman, Xiaolin He, Bill Raab, Abhiram Dukipatti, Helen Blau and K. Christopher Garcia Summary Nerve growth factor engages two structurally distinct transmembrane receptors, TrkA and p75, which have been proposed to create a "high-affinity" NGF binding site through formation of a ternary TrkA/NGF/p75 complex. To define a structural basis for the high-affinity site, we have determined the three-dimensional structure of a complete extracellular domain of TrkA complexed with NGF. The complex reveals a crab-shaped homodimeric TrkA structure, but a mechanism for p75 coordination is not obvious. We investigated the heterodimerization of membrane-bound TrkA and p75, on intact mammalian cells, using a β-gal protein-protein interaction system. We find that NGF dimerizes TrkA and that p75 exists on the cell surface as a preformed oligomer that is not dissociated by NGF. We find no evidence for a direct TrkA/p75 interaction. We propose that TrkA and p75 likely communicate through convergence of downstream signaling pathways and/or shared adaptor molecules, rather than through direct extracellular interactions.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) promotes neuronal survival and differentiation by activating TrkA receptors. Similar to other receptor tyrosine kinases, ligand-induced dimerization is thought to be required for TrkA receptor activation. To study this process, we expressed TrkA receptors in Xenopuslaevis oocytes and analyzed their response to NGF by using a combination of functional, biochemical, and structural approaches. TrkA receptor protein was detected in the membrane fraction of oocytes injected with TrkA receptor cRNA, but not in uninjected or mock-injected oocytes. Application of NGF to TrkA receptor-expressing oocytes promoted tyrosine phosphorylation and activated an oscillating transmembrane inward current, indicating that the TrkA receptors were functional. Freeze-fracture electron microscopic analysis demonstrated novel transmembrane particles in the P-face (protoplasmic face) of oocytes injected with TrkA cRNA, but not in uninjected or mock injected oocytes. Incubating TrkA cRNA-injected oocytes with the transcriptional inhibitor actinomycin D did not prevent the appearance of these P-face particles or electrophysiological responses to NGF, demonstrating that they did not arise from de novo transcription of an endogenous Xenopus oocyte gene. The appearance of these particles in the plasma membrane correlated with responsiveness to NGF as detected by electrophysiological analysis and receptor phosphorylation, indicating that these novel P-face particles were TrkA receptors. The dimensions of these particles (8.6×10nm) were too large to be accounted for by TrkA monomers, suggesting the formation of TrkA receptor oligomers. Application of NGF did not lead to a discernible change in the size or shape of these TrkA receptor particles during an active response. These results indicate that in Xenopus oocytes, NGF activates signaling via pre-formed TrkA receptor oligomers.

List of United States federal agencies
This list may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (March 2010) |
This article is part of a series on the politics and government of the United States |
This is a list of agencies of the United States federal government.
The executive branch of the federal government includes the Executive Office of the President and the United States federal executive departments (whose secretaries belong to the Cabinet). Employees of the majority of these agencies are considered civil servants.
The majority of the independent agencies of the United States government are also classified as executive agencies (they are independent in that they are not subordinated under a Cabinet position). There are a small number of independent agencies that are not considered part of the executive branch, such as the Library of Congress and Congressional Budget Office, which are administered directly by Congress and thus are legislative branch agencies. The status of these agencies is an open question, however, as Judge Brett Kavanaugh noted in a brief concurrence in SoundExchange, Inc. v. Librarian of Congress. There is one independent agency in the judicial branch.

The High Court has reserved judgment on a plea by radical cleric Abu Hamza, who is fighting extradition to the US, to have further medical tests.
His QC said an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) brain scan could establish that he is unfit to plead and should not be extradited to face trial on terrorism charges.
Alun Jones QC told two judges in London that Hamza's health is "deteriorating" and he is suffering from long-term depression, inability to concentrate and short-term memory loss.
Sir John Thomas, President of the Queen's Bench Division, said the court would give its ruling at a later date.

CALGARY, Alta. – Canada's National Sledge Team will be in La Baie, Quebec (just outside Chicoutimi) for a three-game series against Norway from January 17-19 at the Centre des Sports Jean-Claude Tremblay, a newly sledge-accessible venue.
This marks Canada's first international competition since taking a silver medal at the 2012 World Sledge Hockey Challenge in Calgary, Alta. in December. Canada faced Norway once during this event, during the round robin, and won 4-1, with forward Kevin Rempel (Vineland, Ont.) scoring twice, and Corbin Watson (Kingsville, Ont.) making eight saves for the victory.
Canada will have one roster addition for this series, as forward Karl Ludwig (Brampton, Ont./ Mississauga Cruisers) has been added to the regular roster for this event.
"This is a great opportunity for build on what we learned in December," said Mike Mondin, head coach of Canada's National Sledge Team. "Coming off a bronze medal at the World Sledge Hockey Challenge, Norway will definitely be looking for a better result, which will make for a very competitive series."
Canada has a series against the United States in February 2013 and a training camp in March 2013, before heading to the 2013 IPC World Sledge Hockey Championship in Goyang, South Korea from April 12-20, 2013
NOTE TO MEDIA - Adam Crockatt, Hockey Canada's manager of hockey operations/national teams, is on-site with the team and can assist with any media interview requests. He can be reached at email@example.com.

Free Will Astrology
Published: May 31, 2012
ARIES (March 21-April 19) "Let's waltz the rumba," said jazz musician Fats Waller, suggesting the seemingly impossible mix of two very different types of dancing. That's an excellent clue for you. I suspect that in the coming week you will have an unusual aptitude for hybridization. You could do folk dancing and hip-hop moves simultaneously. It will make sense for you to do the cha-cha as you disco and vice versa. You'll have a knack for bringing the spirit of belly dance into the tango, and for breakdancing while you do the hokey-pokey.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Have you been feeling a warm fuzzy feeling in your money chakra? I hope so. The cosmos recently authorized you to receive a fresh flow of what we might call financial kundalini. Your insight into money matters should be increasing, as well as your ability to attract the information and influences you need to refine your relationship with prosperity. It may even be the case that higher levels of economic luck are operating in your vicinity. I'm not saying you will strike it rich, but you could definitely strike it richer.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your core meditation this week is Oscar Wilde's belief that disobedience is a primal virtue. Be ingeniously, pragmatically and cheerfully disobedient! Harness your disobedience so that it generates outbreaks of creative transformation that improve your life. For inspiration, read this passage by Robert Anton Wilson: "Every fact of science was once damned. Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and progress, everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of someone's refusal to bow to Authority. We would be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant and the intransigent."
CANCER (June 21-July 22) "Some people tell me I'd invented the sounds they called soul," said musician Ray Charles, "but I can't take any credit. Soul is just the way black folk sing when they leave themselves alone." I urge you to experiment with this idea. In my astrological opinion, you need to whip up a fresh, hot delivery of raw soul. One of the best ways to do that might be to leave yourself alone. In other words, don't badger yourself. Don't pick your scabs and second-guess your enthusiasms and argue yourself into a knot. Create a nice big space for your original self to play in.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) "Where's the most convenient place to discover a new species?" asks The Second Book of General Ignorance. What do you think the answer is? The Amazon rain forest? The high mountainous forests of New Guinea? Northwest Siberia? None of the above. In fact, your best chance of finding a previously unidentified life form is in your own garden. There are hundreds of thousands of species that science still has no knowledge of, and quite a few of them are near you. A similar principle currently holds true for your life in general. It will be close to home that you are most likely to connect with fascinating exotica, unknown influences and far-out adventures.

Aloe Blacc (Alternate) Video – "I Need A Dollar"
March 23rd, 2011Aloe Blacc's "I Need A Dollar" was the theme song to last seasons' big-deal TV show, How To Make It In America. It's been fantastic exposure for the soul singer and his latest video with dancing genius Baby Boogaloo, "Loving You Is Killing Me" is a big hit. Now the hit from last year, "I Need A Dollar," has a more appropriate video, more of a storytelling adventure than a commercial.

This is worth making it is so delicious! Greek yogurt is richer and thicker then regular yogurt and is the best used for this recipe, if you cannot find Greek yogurt just use 4 cups regular full-fat plain yogurt and drain it in the fridge through a triple thickness of cheesecloth for 8 hours or overnight, if you are using Greek yogurt you will not have to strain it, once you try Greek yogurt you will never go back to regular yogurt again! Plan ahead this needs to chill for a minimum of 2 hours, you won't be able to keep your spoon out of the bowl LOL! Make certain to drain the cucumber very well for this. Serve this anyway or with anything you want to, it is great on pita. Prep time is only if you are using the Greek yogurt if you are straining the yogurt prep time will be more.

Crystal Palace boss Pulis prepares to face the unknown Tigers
11:57am Tuesday 28th January 2014 in Sport By Tim Ashton
Tony Pulis could be facing a fresh strikeforce tonight when Hull City make the trip to Selhurst Park.
While Crystal Palace have struggled to bring in new faces in the January transfer window, the Tigers have recruited strikers Shane Long from WBA and Nikica Jelavic from Everton for a combined fee of around £14m.
The pair are yet to start a match together, but that could all change tonight.
Pulis said: "Steve Bruce has done a great job at Hull City, and tonight will be tough for us.
"It looks like [Shane] Long and [Nikica] Jelavic will play together for the first time – that will bolster their chances of scoring goals.
"Yes, we have some irons in the fire but their two front men were not on our radar.
"What we have got is a football club that only two and a half years ago came out of administration and for them to be where they are now is absolutely fantastic.
"Finances are important to this football club, they have to be right, and those two are little out of our reach."
He added: "Our game at Hull in November was the first one I watched when I came to the club – and to win 1-0 despite having a player sent off was a great result for us.
"Most of Hull's points have been picked up at home, it is difficult to get points on the road, but Steve knows that and he is an experienced manager and he knows what the Premier League is like."
"They have some good players and he has brought players with a little bit of quality, but also players with Premier League experience, that is important in this situation."
New outlook: Shane Long, here in his Reading days, could line up for Hull City against Palace tonight SP54999

I really enjoyed this salad. Easy and delicious. I used a myer lemon and added a bit more anchovy as I thought it needed a touch more salt. Both my dinner guest and I enjoyed it a lot.

Series: Evolution Basics (39 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the current anthropological understanding of human evolution, which takes into account research into both physiological and cultural developments among our ancient ancestors.
