Essential Michael Jackson (Michael Jackson is now being compared to Mother Theresa and the Pope. (Well, not exactly, but they did make the same paragraph and are all mentioned as somewhat exalted beings)  Yeah, hmmmmm, I understand that completely- NOT! And, by a supposed spiritual leader no less! Deepak Chopra who is reportedly among the deepest of them all and just wrote a column about the God Complex- the strange paradox of how someone can inspire so much in so many people yet be so deeply troubled inside.

The Catholic Church embraced a little science in order to support its claims about the final resting place of St. Paul. Using the very controversial* technique of Carbon Dating the church established the date of bones found in the sarcophagus thought to hold the remains of St. Paul. This is cool, but I wonder how all the other nutbag religious freaks who constantly attack Carbon Dating as the downfall of science will react when the science is used to claim the bones of one of their own. The Catholic Church is actually rather progressive when it comes to science**, having accepted the Theory of Evolution, the round Earth, remote controls and radio waves. Now if they could only get around their rule about the bodies of saints not decomposing. Seems a bone fragment is the result of decomposing, which is something Catholic saints aren’t supposed to do. Its tough to navigate the world of Vatican Science, with all the rumors, magic, rules and dogma that get jammed in the way of science. Read more

Creation Museum dinosaur: Come ride the Dinosaur of Misinformation!The world famous Creation Museum, which illustrates scientifically, no, make that Biblically, the creation of the universe. So wait, the science supports the Bible at the Creation Museum... or does the Bible support the science? Is there any actual science? Well, a group of professional scientists, who actually go out to fossil digs and dig up fossils, went to the museum built by people who look at the Bible and devine knowledge from it about stuff that it doesn't even mention (dinosaurs). A large group of Paleontologists were invited into the museum to be converted...

Dr. Jere Lipps, a paleontologist at UC Berkeley had this concise statement to offer:

"It is a monument to scientific illiteracy." Read more

It is quite a humbling experience to imagine the advice of the dead. To imagine, for example, a spirit’s urging to live an authentic, meaningful life--a life he had not lived and now regrets.  Marlo Morgan, author of Mutant Messge Down Under, experienced such a heeding--only, instead of ghostly, sorrowful wisps, she received hers first-hand from a group who not only had no regrets, but lived each day with full hearts.

We spend a lot of time thinking about life and the nature of being, as humans. Perhaps it's simply a byproduct of being sentient animals, perhaps—as the more spiritual among us would insist—that level of introspection is a mark that we are indeed God's deliberate creation, superior to and different than other What if the Big Bang didn't create life at all, but rather, life created the Big Bang?animals.

A thought-provoking recent article on msnbc.com abridges and presents part of a new book, Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness are the Keys to Understanding the True Nature of the Universe, by two leading scientists: biologist Robert Lanza, M.D., and astronomer Bob Berman. Read more

I recently examined the Ten Commandments for truthful life lessons. As a follow-up, I'd like to examine the Deadly Sins. For my investigation, I searched long and hard on the Wikipedia site- and came up with a list of sins worth examining in full.

The ExecutionI picked up the greatest comic book pamphlet EVER from Chick Publications- courtesy of King James Bible Baptist Church in the subway tunnels around and about Times Square, where apparently King James Bible Baptist Church is targeting all of the heathens- me definitely included.

The moral of the comic is the same as the majority of Christian literature I have chanced upon. Do whatever you want throughout your life, but do not scorn the Lord. Read more
