Evolution Debunked by I.D. of Bin Laden’s Body

By Lauri Lebo

…igent design has nothing to do with God, it means that our DNA must be ever-so-perfectly designed, almost as if it were created just to help us win the War on Terrorism. When Restaurant at the End of the Universe hero Zaphod Beeblebrox was put into the Total Perspective Vortex readers expected him to emerge crushed—but he strolled out completely fine. The reason was that the machine merely confirmed what he had suspected all along. He really was t…

Little ‘Value’ in New Harris Book

By Michael Ruse

…l, hang on a minute. Before we go off and celebrate in the bar that two-and-a-half thousand years of moral philosophizing can now be brought to an end, let’s ask a few questions—the sorts of questions that one might ask of a first-year undergraduate who comes up with an answer like this. First, what does “well-being” even mean? Notoriously, Jeremy Bentham argued that the old English child’s game of push-pin is as good as poetry. The more sensitive…

On Pi Day, Puzzling Over the Most Famous Transcendental Number

By Ilana E. Strauss

…its like a mantra. Cliff Pickover, a math and science author and the editor-in-chief of the IBM Journal of Research and Development, says that pi’s endless stream of numbers must contain all possible numerical representations. If you calculated pi long enough, you’d eventually find the works of Shakespeare coded in 1’s and 0’s. “Somewhere inside the digits of pi is a representation for all of us — the atomic coordinates of all our atoms, our genet…

Church=State in Putin’s Orthodox Empire?; Evangelical-Orthodox Anti-Gay Alliance; Malaysian Court Protects Transwomen; Catholicism (Still) Declining in Latin America; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…openly is the biggest hurdle to overcome for British Muslims, Claire, a 28-year-old Birmingham-based Muslim convert, says it’s only the beginning of the struggle. “As an LGBT Muslim, I face discrimination in the gay community. They say I cannot be gay and Muslim but I can. No one can judge you for who you are – you decide that.” Claire also observes this hostility within the Muslim community. Recently engaged to her partner, she says she does not…

The Critical Role of Jews in Defining Modernity

By Chad Alan Goldberg

…on’t think anything essential was left out of the book. I do hope that the book opens up new avenues of inquiry and reflection. For instance, the fourth chapter reinterprets the assimilation of Jewish immigrants in relation to pragmatist concerns about forming a democratic public under modern social conditions. I couldn’t fully explore the implications of this suggestion in the book, but I hope that social scientists who are studying contemporary…

Is Accreditation of Religious Institutions a “Farce”?

By Eric C. Miller

…faith-based educational institutions, Christian critics may be more so. After all, the stakes are high for both in safeguarding the quality of American higher education….

New Anti-Gay Snake Oil for Religious Right

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…f the children examined in the paper were not being raised by parents in a committed same-sex relationship — whereas the other children in the study were being raised in two-parent homes with straight parents. They also note: “The paper inappropriately compares children raised by two heterosexual parents for 18 years with children who experience family transitions — like foster care — or who live with single or divorced parents, or in blended fami…

Hitchens Debates Conservative Evangelical: Nothing Happens

By Eric Reitan

…repared arguments that will ultimately result in a payment plan for a state-of-the-art, overpriced set of fire detectors. One of the consequences of such scripts is that you don’t need to engage in an authentically personal way with the other individual and what she is saying. You just have to learn which objections or attacks to pluck from your toolkit in response to various challenges. When it comes to selling a product, the purpose of such a sc…

The Ghost Is More Important Than The Machine: Norman Corwin (1910-2011)

By Peter Manseau

…politics destined to grant or deny the prayers of the future: Lord God of test-tube and blueprint Who jointed molecules of dust and shook them till their name was Adam, Who taught worms and stars how they could live together, Appear now among the parliaments of conquerors and give instruction to their schemes… Post proofs that brotherhood is not so wild a dream as those who profit by postponing it pretend… The broadcast gave Corwin a larger simul…

Despising the Holidays: When Christians Led the ‘War on Christmas’

By Ed Simon

…ndamentalism, from its pre-millennial dispensationalist eschatology to its free-market economic ideology is at odds with the actual ideology of American Puritanism. The reductionist ‘culture wars’ obscure the nuances of history and culture, while failing to recognize the full complexity of both secularism and religion. This year’s tempest in a coffee cup has provided us all with an unintended lesson in semiotics. That someone might see Christianit…
