Comments: This is my first pair of Brooks and they seem to fit me extremely well. I used to run in Asics GTs as I'm a mild pronator with a medium arch at 150lbs. These feel less clunky and faster with a much better toe-off. The soles in the forefoot do wear out faster than other shoes though. They provide plenty of cushion but have a longer break in period than others. Looking forward to the 5's when they arrive next year! From: Matt, San Jose, CA, USA
Comments: I spoke to a Brooks rep in person at a local Fleet Feet opening recently and he said the Ravenna 5 coming in Feb 2014 will go back to the wider toebox as was found in the Ravenna 3. From: Tom, Montgomery, AL
Comments: I've had every version of the Ravenna. They have always been a great shoe for me, a light weight runner. They fit great without any heel sliding. I must agree with all of the other comments: they seem a little more narrow in the toebox than the previous versions and I've gotten blisters on the lateral aspect of both great toes with runs over 8 miles. I'm thinking about trying the Adrenalines as they boast a wider toebox. From: Tom, Montgomery, AL
Comments: The Ravenna 4 is a fantastic shoe with a fatal flaw: it's narrow. I'm currently in the Adrenaline GTS - which is a brilliant shoe - but I wanted a touch less support and a bit more cushioning. Enter the Ravenna. On paper it was exactly what I was looking for. The problem (for me, at least) is that it's a touch narrower than the Adrenaline. Enough so that they caused blisters on both feet. Not good. If you need a support shoe and have a foot on the narrow side the Ravenna may be perfect for you. If you have a medium foot like me, proceed with caution. From: Dave, California
Comments: I find the top of the shoe (laces) press down too hard on the top of your foot. This lock down is not for me. From: Martin, NJ, US
Comments: I am on my second pair, soon to be starting on a third. I love these shoes - they are a better fit than the 3s, and provide just a bit of support that I need without giving too much (Adrenalines). I am getting a good 400 miles on a pair before I feel the forefoot cushioning get too compressed - haven't seen any unusual sole wearing out. I would like them a bit wider in the toebox, but they don't cause any rubbing or blistering. I've worn them in a marathon and my feet felt great at the end. From: Ed, Bethesda, MD
Comments: Sole wears out very fast, also shoe runs narrow. From: Jonathan, Goldsboro, NC, USA
Comments: Wear this shoe along with my Adrenaline 13's. Love the cushioned fast feel! They fit narrower and have a touch more cushion in the heel and forefoot than the Adrenalines. Run 25-30 miles/wk, have flat feet and I am a mild pronator. From: Mac, New Orleans, LA

| Posted by Ruben P. | (New York City, NY)Saved a lot of money with this. I'll be100% honest and I am kind of sorry for what I'll say, but I do speed up on the highways when I come to the US. Sorry, but to my mind speed limits are way too low in your country. It's hard to meet the limits when one day you drive on autobahns with no speed limits at all, and then the next thing you know, you are in the USA and you have to live with around 60 mph. So, to cut a long story short, I've got this unit to avoid tickets and replaced my previous detector that had lots of false alarms.

Panasonic HDC-TM900
Great performance, but if you don't want 3D, little to recommend it over the TM700.
The Panasonic HDC-TM900 is the successor to the lauded HDC-TM700, our pick for Camcorder of the Year in 2010. The TM900 offers the same fantastic video performance as its predecessor, particularly with its widely-praised 1080/60p mode, but Panasonic didn't improve on much else. It has a slightly larger LCD and a few extra touchscreen features, that's about it.

Charges result from investigation into Quaker City death
Written by Bill CasslerGuernsey County grand jury to consider add'l charges related to Kevin Wehr's death
QUAKER CITY, Ohio -- Charges have now been filed as a result of the investigation into the death of a Quaker City man.
Preliminary autopsy results determined that 50-year-old Kevin S. Wehr died from blunt force trauma to the head on Saturday or Sunday. The investigation was initiated on Monday afternoon after Guernsey County Coroner Dr. Sandra Schubert released the results of Wehr's autopsy.
At this point, Sheriff's Detectives believe that an altercation took place between 39-year-old Timothy E. Smith of Quaker City, a female acquaintance and the victim at a residence on Fair Street in the village. As a result of his actions during the altercation, Smith - also known as "Tennessee Tim" - has been charged with a felony-one count of kidnapping and a felony-two count of felonious assault for a reported attack on the female.
Further charges are pending, as the case will be submitted to the Grand Jury of the Guernsey County Common Pleas Court for a possible indictment regarding Wehr's death.

"It's up to you to believe it or not," said Aman Johal, as he raised his glass-sided lantern.
Johal, an interpreter at the Fort Langley National Historic Site, led a preview of this year's Grave Tales tour through the village and its cemeteries.
Along the way, he told tales of fur trade rivalries, ghostly girls seen peering out of windows, gruesome frontier surgery, and lost loves.
The tour takes visitors from the Fort itself down Glover Road, one of the earliest thoroughfares in the community.
One side of the road was largely owned by the Mavis family, and the site of Alexander Mavis's original home - and his grave - are among the first visits on the tour.
Johal spins the story of how Mavis decided, at age 80, to fix some shingles on his roof, fell, and hit his head. The injury led to increasing rages and bouts of amnesia that ultimately turned into a bloody attack.
Several graves in the pioneer cemetery on Glover Road are toured, including the final resting place of a Hudson's Bay Company man who ran into a nasty accident with some blasting powder in the Haida Gwaii islands.
The accident didn't kill him. but it did lead to a distinctly painful surgical procedure for the trader.
Across the street from the cemetery is the home of Benjamin Marr, Fort Langley's first resident doctor. Long after the Marr family left the place, it gained a reputation as one of the most haunted buildings in B.C., said Johal.
A girl in white has been seen running down the stairs and peering mournfully out the back windows.
While much of the tour is taken up with stories of spooky happenings, Johal also deals with a lot of very real B.C. history, from the rivalry between the chief factor of Fort Langley and Governor James Douglas, to the burial customs of local First Nations people, to the role of Hawaiian traders in the early settlement.
For instance, Glover Road was originally called Smugglers Trail, after gold miners from the United States used it as a route to get to the Fraser River while avoiding a blockade at the mouth of the river.
The name was changed later to make it more respectable.
Johal also brings up the fact that many of the Fort's early pioneers have unmarked graves. The grave sites are roughly known, but the wooden markers from the early 1850s have rotted away.
Tour tickets are $15.10 and can be purchased online at www.vtixonline.com or by calling 604-513-4777. Annual pass holders at the Fort save 20 per cent when booking by phone.
Tours run Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, Oct. 6-28, at 7, 8, and 9 p.m.
A special French version of the tour will be offered Oct. 18 at 7 p.m.
Tours are designed for ages 17 and up. One youth tour will be offered on Oct. 20 at 7 p.m., suitable for teens.
Visitors are encouraged to bring their own lanterns, to add to the ambience of the walk.

People pour into Mattison's for Gourmet Beer Dinner
Date: February 6, 2013
by: Mallory Gnaegy | A&E Editor
Junior League of Sarasota hosted an evening that drove attendees to drink, eat and be merry, as a fundraiser for the organization. The women annually host a fundraising food pairing, and nearly 50 Junior League supporters filled the private room of Mattison's 41 for this year's craft beer and gourmet-food pairing Jan. 25.
Executive Chef and proprietor Paul Mattison prepared a four-course menu with items exclusive to the pairing, and Curt Uhde, of Craft Brew Alliance, discussed the featured beers from Widmer Brothers brewery.
Widmer Brothers Omission Lager (gluten free)
Fennel-crusted sea scallop with lemon risotto, grilled artichoke and tarragon butter sauce, paired with Widmer Brothers Drifter Pale Ale
Local heirloom tomato salad with basil sorbet and polenta croutons, paired with Widmer Brothers Hefeweisen
Kurobuta pork tenderloin with roasted Brussels sprouts, crispy pork belly, blue cheese fingerling potatoes and a balsamic fig gastrique, paired with Widmer Brothers Barrel Aged Brrrbon
Chocolate mousse with cocoa nibs, paired with Widmer Brothers Chocolate Russian Imperial Stout
Glass half-full advice
To properly taste the effect the beer has on the food and vice-versa, taste the beer three times: by itself before the course, with the food and after you consume the food.
Humans taste five different flavors, but smell upward of 10,000 smells and aromas, according to Curt Uhde. Always smell the beer and food.
To pair a menu, select beer and food that is contrasting or complementary in taste. For instance, a robust dish such as Kurobuta pork tenderloin works nicely with a robust beer such as Widmer Brothers Barrel Aged Brrbon. The contrasting pairing of sweet chocolate mousse and a bitter imperial stout works because of similar taste harmonies in the chocolate aroma.

Hi all,
Hats off to the organizers. Keeping our big group together was no small feat. The trek was challenging, and totally rewarding - esp the swimming! My favorite parts -viewing Vellaigavi from Kodaikanal. I had no idea we trekked so far and high until I looked back at the village -the copious amounts of black coffee that our kind village hosts offered us -scaling our way down to the falls. -meeting others with an interest in trekking Thanks again to all, esp. the organizers, Rekha |
In reply to this post by Vadivel.k
Hi guys, had a great weekend with u all. I really want to thank and appreciate the efforts of the organizers in re-planning (superbly) the whole trek plan in short time without any problems.
The most difficult part of the whole trek is watching "VELAYUTHAM" in the bus. I think the participants should have been warned of this. Organizers please take a note of this. I'm looking forward for more treks with u all. |

James write-up:
Hi Vadivel & Guru, Just wanted to send you a quick note to say thanks again for a great weekend. I really enjoyed the trekking, and spending the night in the village was also great. Seeing the village lifestyle was amazing, as well as the beautiful rolling hills, fresh air, and serene views. you guys really did a great job organizing and executing the trip. Both Rekha and I had a great time. cheers, james |

Hi Friends,
How r u all? Hopefully we all enjoyed the trek and its innate austerity, a pre-requisite to survive in the wild. I returned to base wt sore back,limping legs and yet content heart. Being the eldest youth,lol, i wondered the abilities and attitude of GenNxt. Even when we were damn tired to utter a word, deeds never seized. |
In reply to this post by Vadivel.k
I don't know what to express. Am I too excited? Have I enjoyed the trek?
Have I enjoyed the photography? etc etc..
Too many questions arise in my mind when I think of this trek.
The best part is that the new friends in this trek who have coordinated in such a beautiful fashion. A batch lead by Vadivel, a batch lead by Naveen & Rakesh and another by Guru.
I still remember Ajai, Kiran and myself struggling to light the camp fire.
I remember Ram Kumar's wake up call and his cheers.
I remember Guru's entertainment.
I enjoyed the company of Naveen, Suresh, Rakesh, Kiran, Neela, Gayathri and Aditya through out the trek.
I held my nerves while posing at the suicide point.
There were too many moments in this trek.
Thanks one and all for keeping those moments memorable.
Wish to meet you all guys in another trek.
In reply to this post by Vadivel.k
Hi frnds, had a wonderful trek. I have went to kodai many times. And i have given the pose to the camera clicks in d dolphin nose point, watched the village with my friends amazingly a year back. But i never,ever guessed that i will be in the same beautiful village, playing d volley ball & cricket with d the village kids, sleeping in the village school and trekking back to dolphin nose point. I enjoyed like a kid seeing the mother nature while trekking.
And d the second part of trekking to Five house falls to me its a "Demon Falls". wow,wat a waterfalls. i was really scared on the way to the waterfalls.

Since there was issue at Tamilnadu Border it was turned down. Who where the Key players? Vadivel - Quickly planned the Alternative for Kodai trek as he had visited Already, Mayuresh- played key role in Scanning the entire area which in turn helped us to decide on visiting Kodi trek. Rakesh - Gave us new plan after reaching Kodi, visiting Five House falls which no one will forget he also got a good Travel rate card for Kodai to Betalakundu Guru - Got all the Food for the entire trek, he also played a role of Sweeper getting people from Kumbakarai to Valakavi. Without Vadivel the trek to Kodai would have not been come true........good Appulause to quick & alternative plan. About Velakavi & The Trip The Village Originated even before Kodaikannal Orginated. It is 10 Kms from Periyakulam - Kumbakarai Waterfalls. As per records, 5 families were 1st people in the village. Now they are 123 families with Population of 500 People. It was steep climb from Periyakulam and every one skills were challenged. The batch of 25 people got splitted in to 3 batch Vadivel Led the way to Velakavi. The village is so beautiful and the people greeted us well The Myth behind the Village , No one were allowed to were Sandals inside the village. Sunday Morning one Man got up early in the Team running around from 4 AM. (Vadivel) Who got all things in place, while the other person woke up the entire Team of 25 at 6 AM to see the Sunrise :). We all started from Velakavi around 7.30 AM, again we had 3 batch of people 1st Batch reached at 10.30 AM (Dolphin Nose), the last batch reached along with Gayathri reach only at 11:30 AM The Entrance to Kodaikannal we had taken shelter in Tuck Shoes, which Offered us Bread Omelet and good variety of foods........... The Team left from Kodai to Five House waterfalls at 1.45 PM, on the we had to drop Aditya at kodai bus stand. As he had the bus at 7:00 PM The Team visited five House waterfalls which was awesome and no words to describe. I will be soon visiting the village again. The Paradise is beautiful untouched by humans.

3D Tools for the Desktop
The Third Dimension
Command line programs do what they are supposed to do but in a very
unspectacular way. If you prefer a more sophisticated look and feel,you'll find
a 3D alternative for almost every task.This article examines some of the most
interesting 3D tools for the desktop.
Linux normally follows the classic
KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) philosophy.
The basic approach is to
use a combination of small, specialized
command-line tools for anything the
user wants to do. Users of GUI-based
desktops often find it hard to come to
terms with this approach, and they typically
look for a convenient graphical
A GUI tool is all the more thrilling if it
uses three-dimensional graphics to display
user data rather than simply
displaying data in a 2D display. As you
will learn in this article, even a tool with
a very ordinary purpose can use
advanced 3D graphics. I will discuss
tools that use the graphics adapter's 3D
features for a graphic display.

"Traumatized by front desk!"
Traumatized by the front desk the night we wer checking in. VERY RUDE, zero customer service personality, unacceptable and I'm not exaggerating! As I entered the lobby, she was not infront of the desk. There was a room behind the desk where I saw her. I knew she knows I was infront of the desk but did not come to acknowledge me right away. So ok, I […] gave her the excuse that she might be doing really important. When finally she came to attend on me, not a single smile, not even a sour smile, no greeting, just an unhappy face. While she was handing me the room card for entry she said rudely, "do not put your car car keys near the room card, it will damage the card!"What??? Seriously???not even a please, or something nicer to say it??? I was not gonna let go of her attitude towards me and not write against anything her but it did not end there. When we went to our room, it was not the room that we booked. We booked for 2 queen beds bec we wer checking in as a family of 4( me and my husband and our 9 and 10 year old girls ). I called the front desk and told her that we booked for 2 queen beds and she she replied, "why? The sofabed does not work for your children??? And insisted that we stay in the room bec d room in the main building with 2 queens cost more money. I lost my my patience on her and i think it's time to straighten her out so I told her very irritatingly and that the room she gave us does not work and we booked 2 queens!

"Cool, funky hotel!"
Great hotel--especially for the price, which wasn't bad for Cape Cod the week before the 4th of July! Our room was huge--and could sleep at least six. Downstairs was a bathroom, kitchenette (w/microwave, full-size coffee maker (yay!) and sink area. There was a king-size bed, a pull-out couch and a full bathroom with bathtub and shower (great for little […] kids). Up a funky, spiral staircase was a loft with another king-size bed and bathroom! which my son loved. Off the loft bedroom was a door to a big jacuzzi--crazy! What a perfect place to bring a large family for vacation. The weather was terrible while we were there, but it seemed like the pool and bocci area were really enjoyed by other guests. (We were only there over night for a wedding and didn't get to do much on the property.) I didn't try the continental breakfast, but my son said it was fine. The hotel is a little run-down and could use some paint and spackle, but all in all its a great place that I would recommend if you have a family in tow.

Re: Episode 12
A seven series season again. Oh boy. I remember when I set a strict 3-per-season limit for myself a few years back. Seems like a lifetime ago.

Episode 13 (Finale)
- Yuri witches unite! The Zwei Frauen is back.
- They can fire as many missiles as they want, but they won't take down this couple. - It's decision time, Adele. No, Tori won't help you with this one. - They go with the backflip, an awfully risky move. - Azuma and Miriam have sure gotten close. Of course, that's better than the alternative. - Horizon is ready to unleash her trump card. - But Tres Espana won't go down without a fight. Takakane, Fusae, Diego, and Juana are still fighting. - Soul Activation engaged. Horizon has obtain the deadly sin of avarice. - Now, it's Mary and her Excalibur to deliver the finishing blow. Musashi wins! - Tres Espana may have lost, but they get a hero's welcome back at home. - Time for the celebration festival. There's a bonfire, and poor Ulquiaga has his H-games burned. - Gin is there, and Muneshige returns. Gin may have suffered defeat, but getting Muneshige back is a huge win. - Tenzo and Mary are rooming together, and Mary sleeps in the nude. - Onto MHRR, but first, a visit to Izumo. And with that, the second season ends with the possibility of a third season that takes place in MHRR, which is the Holy Roman Empire. And it looks like Musashi gets three new students as Mary enrolls, while it looks like Gin and Muneshige are transferring as well. It starts off fast with the Margot and Malga going into magical girl mode once again, and it ends with Gin acting all cute around Futayo and Muneshige. Overall, this season improves greatly on the first season, as this show doesn't get going until episode 10. With this season, it starts off fast right off the bat with a battle. Then there are negotiations and other stuff that was all too common with the first season, but much less of it. Then it ends with lots more action, and finally their next destination. About the only thing I didn't like about this season was Tori being a streaker for essentially the entire season. As with the first season, I am definitely buying this.

Avarice as Horizon's new emotion seems like a wealth of comedic opportunities. I really hope Adele plays a commanding role like this more in the future. And I ship Adele/Suzu so hard. Oh god, Suzu's "That sounds like a wonderful idea, Adele!" was adorable. And Malga finally gets to fight with Margot again. AND THEY COMBINE INTO A FREAKING FIGHTER JET-THING. This is the best yuri show ever. I wish I could afford to add this to my import list. ;_;

Scream 2
Screenplay : Kevin Williamson
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1997
Stars : Neve Campbell (Sidney Prescott), David Arquette (Dewey Riley), Courteney Cox (Gale Weathers), Liev Schreiber (Cotton Weary), Sarah Michelle Gellar (Cici Cooper), Jerry O'Connell (Derek), Timothy Olyphant (Mickey), Jada Pinkett (Maureen), Omar Epps (Paul Stevens)
The only movies more ripe for ridicule and satire than mindless slasher films are the endless sequels to mindless slasher films. Considering how deftly unoriginal slasher pics are in the first place, it doesn't take much to imagine how even less original the same movie is with Part 2 plastered after its title.
With that in mind, Scream 2 deserves a hearty round of applause for not tumbling into the trap that has engulfed so many other forgettable sequels. Like the original film, Scream 2 dances delicately around its inherently cheesy material by being an effective thriller that adheres to the rules of the genre while simultaneously mocking itself and those same rules by which it so steadfastly lives. It is all at once a rehash of the first film, a satire on sequels in general, and a satisfying extension of characters we already know and care about.
Returning from the first film are Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), the heroine of the original who is now a freshman at Windsor College; Randy (Jamie Meeks), her high school pal who knew all the rules of the slasher genre and is now applying his knowledge to film classes at the same school; Dewey Riley (David Arquette), the bumbling police deputy who only narrowly survived in the first film; Cotton Weary (Liev Schreiber), the man Sidney wrongly accused of murdering her mother years ago; and Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox), the shark of a newscaster who covered the original murders with exuberant glee and has since cashed in by writing a best-selling book about it. The film also includes small roles for some of today's most popular young actors, including Jada Pinckett, Omar Epps, and Sarah Michelle Gellar (plus an amusing tongue-in-cheek cameo by none other than Tori Spelling).
When the film opens, a movie version of Weathers' book Stab is opening at all the multiplexes. Scream 2 immediately sets its tone of both horror and satire in these early scenes, when a double-murder takes place in the movie theater among the jeering audience members who are too caught up in the movie to notice. Is it life imitating art, or is it just a freak incident? (Of course it's life imitating art, or else there wouldn't be a movie.) Next thing we know, a copycat killer is on the loose on Windsor campus, and sorority girls are being dropped as quickly as high school teeny-boppers were in the original film.
In addition to returning cast members, Scream 2 boasts a true rarity in the slasher genre: the same writer/director team that created the original, evidence that this sequel was a planned event and not just a quickie churned out to capitalize on an earlier success (although the speed at which it was produced would suggest exactly that). Horror veteran Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street) once again shows a sure hand behind the camera while guiding the screenplay by Kevin Williamson, who has become one of the hottest screenwriters in Hollywood.
There are several great set-pieces in Scream 2 and a number of memorable conversations, including one on whether or not any sequels have ever been superior to the originals (a few mentions include Aliens, Terminator 2, and The Godfather Part II). There is an endless list of pop culture references, from Quentin Tarantino, to Star Wars, to Jennifer Aniston, to Showgirls. Unfortunately, some of the more broad-based humor, especially jokes aimed at the perceived shallowness of fraternities and sororities, is mostly trite and belongs in a lesser movie.
But, most of Scream 2 comes off as great, self-referential fun. Along the way, Craven and Williamson actually build on their characters, making them deeper, more insightful, and more interesting, which is a true rarity in this market. The worst part about most slasher films is that, with the exception of "the Final Girl," the characters are dull, boring, and unsympathetic. Here, we actually care about the characters, which adds impact to the screenplay.
By making everyone fair game, and not just the "disposable" characters, Williamson adds a sly touch of uneasiness that increases the suspense and surprise when the knife flashes. In Scream 2, finding out who gets killed is almost as surprising as finding out who the killer is.

Origins News Round-up for December 6, 2013
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.

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".
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
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, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
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.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
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.
Augustine had a great deal to say about those chapters in Genesis that are especially controversial within Christianity today.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
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.
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.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Many people assume that until Darwin came along, devout Christians everywhere read and understood Genesis in the same way. But Dr. Pak points out that some of the most revered figures in Christian history--Origen, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, and Calvin--offered insightful but distinctive interpretations of the text that are often overlooked today. First presented at a symposium in Raleigh, NC, Dr. Pak's paper is presented here as a three part series.
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.
