Religious family abandons US, gets lost at sea

PHOENIX — A northern Arizona family that was lost at sea for weeks in an ill-fated attempt to leave the U.S. over what they consider government interference in religion will fly back home Sunday.

Hannah Gastonguay, 26, said Saturday that she and her husband "decided to take a leap of faith and see where God led us" when they took their two small children and her father-in-law and set sail from San Diego for the tiny island nation of Kiribati in May.

But just weeks into their journey, the Gastonguays hit a series of storms that damaged their small boat, leaving them adrift for weeks, unable to make progress. They were eventually picked up by a Venezuelan fishing vessel, transferred to a Japanese cargo ship and taken to Chile where they are resting in a hotel in the port city of San Antonio.

Their flights home were arranged by U.S. Embassy officials, Gastonguay said. The U.S. State Department was not immediately available for comment.

The months-long journey has been "pretty exciting" and "little scary at certain points," Gastonguay told The Associated Press by telephone.

She said they wanted to go to Kiribati because "we didn't want to go anywhere big." She said they understood the island to be "one of the least developed countries in the world."

U stampedu kod indijskog hrama 60 mrtvih
| 13. 10. 2013. - 12:33h | Komentara: 0

Šezdeset ljudi poginulo je u paničnom stampedu hodočasnika kod jednog hinduističkog hrama u centralnoj Indiji, javila je danas policija.

"Potvrdili smo smrt šezdeset ljudi, a broj nastradalih bi mogao da dostigne 100", rekao je policijski zvaničnik D.K Arja.



On je rekao da je još 100 ljudi povređeno u guranju koje je nastalo blizu hrama.



Hiljade hodočasnika okupilo da obeleže verski festival kod hrama Ratangarh, koji se nalazi na 60 kilometara od mesta Datija u indijskoj državi Madja Pradeš.



Prema navodima policije panika je izbila kada su hodočasnici pokušali da pređu most na reci Sind, blizu hrama.



Većina žrtava stradala je tako što ih je masa ljudi pregazila, a neki su se udavili kada su skakali sa mosta, navela je policija.



List Tajms of Indija piše da je tragedija izazvana glasinama da će most da se sruši. Prema drugim izveštajima policija je upotrebila palice da obuzda masu, što je izazvalo još veću paniku.



Ovakve tragedije su česte na hinduističkim festivalima u Indiji. Tokom protekle godine desetine ljudi je poginulo u sličnim tragedijama, navodi agencija Bi-bi-si (BBC).

Heh heh:
State lawmakers slam proposed Satanist monument

OKLAHOMA CITY – Several lawmakers on Monday were highly critical of a proposal by the New York City-based Satanic Temple to build a monument near the recently erected Ten Commandments monument on the Capitol grounds.

"I think it is a joke," said Senate Pro Tem Brian Bingman, R-Sapulpa."This is a faith-based nation and a faith-based state," said Rep. Earl Sears, R-Bartlesville. "I think it is very offensive they would contemplate or even have this kind of conversation.""It is not something the people of Oklahoma would support, and the people of Oklahoma support the Ten Commandments monument," said Rep. Eric Proctor, D-Tulsa."It is not going to get approved here without a court battle," said Rep. Doug Cox, R-Grove. "I can assure you."The Ten Commandments monument was paid for with $10,000 donated by Broken Arrow Republican Rep. Mike Ritze and his family plus $10,000 raised privately.Ritze declined to comment on the latest developments.The American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma has filed suit to have the Ten Commandments monument removed.It was authorized by a 2009 measure signed by former Gov. Brad Henry. Ritze was the House sponsor of the measure, House Bill 1330."I think that our position is there shouldn't be any religious monuments at the state Capitol, that anytime the government has a monument representing one faith it creates an atmosphere that is not welcoming to people of all faiths or non-believers," said Ryan Kiesel, ACLU of Oklahoma executive director. "If, at the end of the day, the Ten Commandments monument is allowed to remain on the Capitol grounds with its overtly Christian message, then the Satanic Temple's proposal can't be rejected because it is of a different religious viewpoint."Lucien Greaves, a temple spokesman, could not be reached for comment.But in a press release, the proposed monument is described as a homage to Satan. Its purpose is to contrast and complement the Ten Commandments monument."By accepting our offer, the good people of Oklahoma City will have the opportunity to show that they espouse the basic freedoms spelled out in the Constitution," Greaves said in the press release. "We imagine that the ACLU would also embrace such a response."In a Nov. 17 letter to the Capitol Preservation Commission, which oversaw installation of the Ten Commandments monument, Greaves said the monument would abide by community standards and be in good taste."He's (Ritze's) helping a satanic agenda grow more than any of us possibly could," Greaves told The Associated Press. "You don't walk around and see too many satanic temples around, but when you open the door to public spaces for us, that's when you're going to see us."Rep. Mike Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City, said the New York group is trying to place a monument on the Capitol grounds for religious purposes and will be unsuccessful. The Ten Commandments monument, on the other hand, was put up for historical purposes, Reynolds said."I am somewhat disappointed we are facing this sort of thing," said Rep. Jeannie McDaniel, D-Tulsa. "We sort of knew this might happen. I know nothing of about this group. I have never heard of them. I think we opened the door and have to have a process to have it vetted."

Rio: Grom oštetio čuvenu statuu Hrista

IZVOR: TANJUG
Veliko nevreme koje je ovih dana zahvatilo delove Brazila nanelo je ogromnu štetu, a jedna munja koja je pogodila Rio de Žaneiro oštetila je čuvenu statuu Hrista Spasitelja.


 
Agencija AP javila je da je u četvrtak u oluji oštećena čuvena statua Hrista Spasitelja koja se uzdiže iznad zaliva Rio de Žaneira.

Nevreme je pogodilo grad u četvrtak uveče a munja je oštetila desni prst na statui, saopstile su u petak gradske vlasti. Tokom oluje prošlog meseca, na statui je oštećen srednji prst na desnoj ruci.

Još u februaru 2008. godine je sprovedena velika restuaracija statue nakon što je munja udarila i ostetila glavu i prste na statui, jedne od najvećih kamenih statua Isusa u svetu,koja se nalazi na brdu Korkovado.

Statua visoka 38 metara je proglašena novim svetskim čudom 2007. godine, a napravljena je od 700 tona ojačanog betona. Nju često pogađaju udari groma.

Brigu o statui vodi arhiepiskopska dijeceza Rio de Žaneira. Otac Omar Raposo je rekao za "Radio Globo" da će ona brzo biti popravljena.

Prema njegovim rečima, crkva poseduje isti originalni kamen korišćen za izgradnju statue, koja je podignuta 1931. godine.

E, volim ove katoličke opatice koje nisu ni znale da su trudne. "Majke mi, gazda, nemam pojma otkud ovo dete. Pa ja sam čedna!!!!" Poslednja rečenica u tekstu je genijalna:


Shocked Italian Nun Gives Birth to Baby Boy

A 31-year-old nun has given birth to a baby boy in Rieti, Italy, after experiencing abdominal pains she thought were stomach cramps.
After she was taken to a hospital, she gave birth to a baby and named him Francis after the current pope. The nun, originally from El Salvador, claims she had no idea she was pregnant.
The sister belongs to a convent which is located near the city of Rieti, which has a population of 47,700.
The nun belongs to the "Little Disciples of Jesus'' convent in Campomoro near Rieti, which manages an old people's home.
As news of the nun's pregnancy has spread, the mayor of Rieti, Simone Petrangi, asked local residents and media to give the woman privacy.
Clothes and donations have been collected and sent to the hospital where she gave birth.
"I did not know I was pregnant. I only felt a stomach pain," she told the Ansa news agency.
Other nuns at the convent also expressed shock at the mysterious pregnancy of a holy sister at their order, saying they were "very surprised", according to Italian media reports.
Don Fabrizio Borrelio, a local pastor, says he believes that the nun is telling the truth about being unaware of her pregnancy. He said the nun plans to take care of the baby herself.
The results of a study on reproductive health, published in the British Medical Journal, revealed that one in 200 US women claim to have given birth without ever having had sexual intercourse.
The BMJ reports that of the women who took part in the study, 45 (0.5%) reported at least one virgin pregnancy, "unrelated to the use of assisted reproductive technology".
They claim to have conceived without vaginal intercourse or in-vitro fertilisation (IVF).
The BMJ article notes that virgin births, or parthenogenesis (from the Greek parthenos for virgin and genesis for birth), can occur in non-humans as a consequence of "asexual reproduction, where growth and development of the embryo occurs without fertilisation".
However, the authors of the study, entitled "Like a virgin (mother)", warn that researchers need to take into account the possibility of fallible memory on the part of respondents.

Is Religion Good for Your Brain?

If you live in Georgia, you're more likely to have a healthy brain than if you live in Minnesota. That's according to an annual state-by-state ranking released this week by a national health education campaign called Beautiful Minds.
While Georgians could use more "mental stimulation through reading and game playing," their high level of religious activity elevated them to a No. 10 ranking. And while Minnesotans read more and are active in their communities, their low level of religious activities contributed to their No. 31 ranking.


Why the emphasis on religion? Research has linked religious activity with everything from reduced stress to better memory retention.


One recent study, published in December of 2013 in JAMA Psychiatry, found that people at risk of depression were much less vulnerable if they identified as religious: Brain MRIs revealed that religious participants had thicker brain cortices than those who weren't as religious (those with a family history of depression often have a thinning of the cortices).
Harold G. Koenig, director of the Center for Spirituality, Theology, and Health at Duke University and a professor of psychiatry, said the depression research will likely be hailed as a landmark study -- but he wasn't surprised by the findings. He's written books, including "The Healing Power of Faith," "Faith and Mental Health," about the health benefits of religion. Those benefits include lowered stress through prayer and meditation.
"One of the worst killers of brain cells is stress," said Dr. Majid Fotuhi, founder and chief medical officer of NeurExpand and a lecturer at Harvard Medical School, as well as a consultant to the Beautiful Minds project. "Stress causes high levels of cortisol, and cortisol is toxic to the hippocampus. One way to reduce stress is through prayer. When you're praying and in the zone you feel a peace of mind and tranquility."
The social element of attending religious services has also been linked to healthy brains.


"There's something magical about socializing," Fotuhi said. "It releases endorphins in the brain. It's hard to know whether it's through religion or a gathering of friends, but it improves brain health in the long term. And it's also been shown that people who are introverted and don't participate are more likely to get Alzheimer's."
Listening to sermons and reading religious works like the Bible may also invoke a cognitive benefit, Koenig said.
 
  "You're exercising your higher cortical function, thinking about complex concepts that require some imagination."


And while a 2011 study found a shrinking of the hippocampus among people of certain religions, Koenig, a co-author of the study, points out that no one has replicated that work yet.
So where does that leave non-believers?
"Out of luck, I guess," Koenig joked. "Actually, I would suspect that people doing the types of things like religious people do -- socializing, doing similarly complex cognitive tasks, would have similar benefits. But it is interesting that religion provides that whole package of things that people can adopt and pursue over time."
While a January study published in the journal Brain Connectivity identified specific networks of the brain used to contemplate religious beliefs, suggesting that some people may be "hard-wired" to be religious, the opposite -- that religious belief begets a healthier brain -- has not been shown. Research has instead focused on long-term religious activity, not belief.
"My personal belief is that having a strong belief is key to getting the benefits," Fotuhi said. "It's hard to study these things; it's why research has stayed away from them. But there does seem to be a strong link between spirituality and better brain health."

Srušio se papin krst u Italiji i ubio mladića

Samo nekoliko dana uoči proglašenja pape Jovana Pavla Drugog i pape Jovana XXIII svetima, iz alpske zabiti na severu Italije stiže strašna vest koja je na društvenim mrežama već izazvala uznemirenost i tvrdnje da je reč o nekakvom tajnom znaku s nebesa.

U mestu Cevo na severu Italije dogodila se nesreća kada se krst visok 30 metara, podignut u čast pape Jovana Pavla Drugog, srušio, pao na mladića Marka Gusminija (21) i ubio ga na mestu.

Okolnosti nesreće još nisu poznate, a prema pisanju lokalnih medija, u nesreći je povređena još jedna osoba. Da stvar bude bizarnija, mladić za kojeg talijanski mediji javljaju da je bio slabije pokretan, živeo je u gradiću Lovere u Ulici pape Jovana XXIII.

Načelnik Ceva izjavio je nakon nesreće da se radi o "neobjašnjivoj tragediji" i objasnio da se pre pada papinog krsta začulo pucketanje tako da su se svi okupljeni razbežali, ali Marko svog otežanog kretanja nije uspeo da pobegne.

Jovan Pavle Drugi i Jovan XXIII biće u nedelju proglašeni svecima na ceremoniji kojoj će prisustvovati papa Franja i bivši papa Benedikt XVI

Kako javljaju grčki mediji, prva nesreća se dogodila oko osam časova ujutru, kada je vatrogasna brigada krenula u redovnu patrolu na Atosu, ali je vozač, zbog loših uslova na putu, izgubio kontrolu nad vozilom, koje se survalo niz liticu.

Tom prilikom, povređena su dvojica policajaca.

Pošto je čuo za nesreću, monah se sopstvenim automobilom uputio na lice mesta da bi pomogao povređenima, ali je takođe izgubio kontrolu nad vozilom, na 100 metara od mesta prve nesreće i pao niz liticu visoku oko 70 metara.

Monah je poginuo, a dvojica policajaca prebačena su u Opštu vojnu bolnicu u Solunu.

Kako Novosti saznaju, reč je tridesetšestogodišnjem monahu iz Srbije koji se zamonašio pre nešto više od mesec dana, na Petrovdan, posle tri godine iskušeništva.

Teen Could Get Two Years for Facebook Photos with Jesus Statue

By Brian Shields

Wed Sep 10th, 2014
America/Los_Angeles

EVERETT, Pennsylvania (KRON) — A Pennsylvania teenager is facing criminal charges after posting pictures to Facebook of him simulating a sex act with a statue of Jesus.
The young man posted that he took the pictures in late July at the statue of a kneeling Jesus in front of the "Love in the Name of Christ" Christian organization in his hometown of Everett.
The criminal charge, which will be heard in family court, consists of "Desecration of a Venerated Object."




Pennsylvania law defines desecration as "Defacing, damaging, polluting or otherwise, physically mistreating in a way that the actor knows will outrage the sensibilities of persons likely to observe or discover the action."
The teen, whose name has not been released, could face up to two years in a juvenile jail if convicted.

Boy dies as he is hit by goat plunging to the ground after escaping sacrifice on sixth floor of apartment block



Heval Yildirim died when sacrificial goat jumped off building and fell on him
The 13-year-old was playing with friends when it fell from a block of flats
The goat had been bought by his father for the Eid-al-Adha festival
During festival, Muslims will slaughter a sheep or goat in an act of sacrifice
His father had put the goat on the rooftop as their flat was too cramped
A prosecutor in Turkey described it as 'the first of its kind around the world'



According to the scripture, God intervenes at the last minute to replace Abraham's son with a sheep - an act which forms the basis of its modern celebrations.
In remembrance, Muslim faithful will slaughter a sheep or goat in an act of sacrifice to show gratitude for their blessings.
They then divide the meat into three equal portions - keeping some of it for themselves, giving a third to the poor and giving the final third to relatives, friends and neighbours.
Mehmet had placed the goat on the roof as the family flat was too cramped.
The animal tried to escape by jumping over a small fence placed round the rooftop and fell on to Heval, who was playing with his friends on the streets below.
He was taken to hospital but was confirmed dead on arrival. The goat also died.

Pope Francis declares evolution and Big Bang theory are real and God is not 'a magician with a magic wand'

The theories of evolution and the Big Bang are real and God is not "a magician with a magic wand", Pope Francis has declared.


Speaking at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Pope made comments which experts said put an end to the "pseudo theories" of creationism and intelligent design that some argue were encouraged by his predecessor, Benedict XVI.Sir Elton John Labels Pope Francis 'My Hero'Francis explained that both scientific theories were not incompatible with the existence of a creator – arguing instead that they "require it".
"When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so," Francis said.

"When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so," Francis said. He added: "He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfilment.



"The Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.
"Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve."
The Catholic Church has long had a reputation for being anti-science – most famously when Galileo faced the inquisition and was forced to retract his "heretic" theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun.
But Pope Francis's comments were more in keeping with the progressive work of Pope Pius XII, who opened the door to the idea of evolution and actively welcomed the Big Bang theory. In 1996, John Paul II went further and suggested evolution was "more than a hypothesis" and "effectively proven fact".
Yet more recently, Benedict XVI and his close advisors have apparently endorsed the idea that intelligent design underpins evolution – the idea that natural selection on its own is insufficient to explain the complexity of the world. In 2005, his close associate Cardinal Schoenborn wrote an article saying "evolution in the sense of common ancestry might be true, but evolution in the neo-Darwinian sense – an unguided, unplanned process – is not".


Giovanni Bignami, a professor and president of Italy's National Institute for Astrophysics, told the Italian news agency Adnkronos: "The pope's statement is significant. We are the direct descendents from the Big Bang that created the universe. Evolution came from creation."Read more:
Comment: Perhaps gods need to evolve to survive, like the rest of usGiulio Giorello, professor of the philosophy of science at Milan's University degli Studi, told reporters that he believed Francis was "trying to reduce the emotion of dispute or presumed disputes" with science.
Despite the huge gulf in theological stance between his tenure and that of his predecessor, Francis praised Benedict XVI as he unveiled a bronze bust of him at the academy's headquarters in the Vatican Gardens.
"No one could ever say of him that study and science made him and his love for God and his neighbour wither," Francis said, according to a translation by the Catholic News Service.
"On the contrary, knowledge, wisdom and prayer enlarged his heart and his spirit. Let us thank God for the gift that he gave the church and the world with the existence and the pontificate of Pope Benedict."

Prebombastičan naslov ali interesantna (sasvim naučna) teorija:

God is on the ropes: The brilliant new science that has creationists and the Christian right terrified
    The Christian right's obsessive hatred of Darwin is a wonder to behold, but it could someday be rivaled by the hatred of someone you've probably never even heard of. Darwin earned their hatred because he explained the evolution of life in a way that doesn't require the hand of God. Darwin didn't exclude God, of course, though many creationists seem incapable of grasping this point. But he didn't require God, either, and that was enough to drive some people mad. Darwin also didn't have anything to say about how life got started in the first place — which still leaves a mighty big role for God to play, for those who are so inclined. But that could be about to change, and things could get a whole lot worse for creationists because of Jeremy England, a young MIT professor who's proposed a theory, based in thermodynamics, showing that the emergence of life was not accidental, but necessary. "Under certain conditions, matter inexorably acquires the key physical attribute associated with life," he was quoted as saying in an article in Quanta magazine early in 2014, that's since been republished by Scientific American and, more recently, by Business Insider. In essence, he's saying, life itself evolved out of simpler non-living systems.The notion of an evolutionary process broader than life itself is not entirely new. Indeed, there's evidence, recounted by Eric Havelock in "The Liberal Temper in Greek Politics," that it was held by the pre-Socratic natural philosophers, who also first gave us the concept of the atom, among many other things. But unlike them or other earlier precursors, England has a specific, unifying, testable evolutionary mechanism in mind.Quanta fleshed things out a bit more like this:

From the standpoint of physics, there is one essential difference between living things and inanimate clumps of carbon atoms: The former tend to be much better at capturing energy from their environment and dissipating that energy as heat.

Jeremy England, a 31-year-old assistant professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has derived a mathematical formula that he believes explains this capacity. The formula, based on established physics, indicates that when a group of atoms is driven by an external source of energy (like the sun or chemical fuel) and surrounded by a heat bath (like the ocean or atmosphere), it will often gradually restructure itself in order to dissipate increasingly more energy. This could mean that under certain conditions, matter inexorably acquires the key physical attribute associated with life.It doesn't mean we should expect life everywhere in the universe — lack of a decent atmosphere or being too far from the sun still makes most of our solar system inhospitable for life with or without England's perspective. But it does mean that "under certain conditions" where life is possible — as it is here on Earth, obviously — it is also quite probable, if not, ultimately, inevitable. Indeed, life on Earth could well have developed multiple times independently of each other, or all at once, or both. The first truly living organism could have had hundreds, perhaps thousands of siblings, all born not from a single physical parent, but from a physical system, literally pregnant with the possibility of producing life. And similar multiple births of life could have happened repeatedly at different points in time.
That also means that Earth-like planets circling other suns would have a much higher likelihood of carrying life as well. We're fortunate to have substantial oceans as well as an atmosphere — the heat baths referred to above — but England's theory suggests we could get life with just one of them — and even with much smaller versions, given enough time. Giordano Bruno, who was burnt at the stake for heresy in 1600, was perhaps the first to take Copernicanism to its logical extension, speculating that stars were other suns, circled by other worlds, populated by beings like ourselves. His extreme minority view in his own time now looks better than ever, thanks to England.
If England's theory works out, it will obviously be an epochal scientific advance. But on a lighter note, it will also be a fitting rebuke to pseudo-scientific creationists, who have long mistakenly claimed that thermodynamics disproves evolution (here, for example), the exact opposite of what England's work is designed to show — that thermodynamics drives evolution, starting even before life itself first appears, with a physics-based logic that applies equally to living and non-living matter.
Most important in this regard is the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that in any closed process, there is an increase in the total entropy (roughly speaking, a measure of disorder). The increase in disorder is the opposite of increasing order due to evolution, the creationists reason, ergo — a contradiction! Overlooking the crucial word "closed," of course. There are various equivalent ways of stating the law, one of which is that energy cannot pass from a cooler to a warmer body without extra work being done. Ginsberg's theorem (as in poet Allen Ginsberg) puts it like this: "You can't win. You can't break even. You can't even get out of the game." Although creationists have long mistakenly believed that evolution is a violation of the Second Law, actual scientists have not. For example, physicist Stephen G. Brush, writing for the American Physical Society in 2000, in "Creationism Versus Physical Science," noted: "As Ludwig Boltzmann noted more than a century ago, thermodynamics correctly interpreted does not just allow Darwinian evolution, it favors it."
A simple explanation of this comes from a document in the thermodynamics FAQ subsection of TalkOrigins Archive (the  first and foremost online repository of reliable information on the creation/evolution controversy), which in part explains:

Creationists thus misinterpret the 2nd law to say that things invariably progress from order to disorder.
However, they neglect the fact that life is not a closed system. The sun provides more than enough energy to drive things. If a mature tomato plant can have more usable energy than the seed it grew from, why should anyone expect that the next generation of tomatoes can't have more usable energy still?

That passage goes right to the heart of the matter. Evolution is no more a violation of the Second Law than life itself is. A more extensive, lighthearted, non-technical treatment of the creationist's misunderstanding and what's really going on can be found here.
The driving flow of energy — whether from the sun or some other source — can give rise to what are known as dissipative structures, which are self-organized by the process of dissipating the energy that flows through them. Russian-born Belgian physical chemist Ilya Prigogine won the 1977 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work developing the concept. All living things are dissipative structures, as are many non-living things as well — cyclones, hurricanes and tornados, for example. Without explicitly using the term "dissipative structures," the passage above went on to invoke them thus:

Snowflakes, sand dunes, tornadoes, stalactites, graded river beds, and lightning are just a few examples of order coming from disorder in nature; none require an intelligent program to achieve that order. In any nontrivial system with lots of energy flowing through it, you are almost certain to find order arising somewhere in the system. If order from disorder is supposed to violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics, why is it ubiquitous in nature?

In a very real sense, Prigogine's work laid the foundations for what England is doing today, which is why it might be overstated to credit England with originating this theory, as several commentators at Quanta pointed out, noting other progenitors as well (here, here and here, among others). But already England appears to have assembled a collection of analytical tools, along with a sophisticated multidisciplinary theoretical approach, which promises to do much more than simply propound a theory, but to generate a whole new research agenda giving detailed meaning to that theoretical conjecture. And that research agenda is already starting to produce results. (See his research group home page for more.) It's the development of this sort of detailed body of specific mutually interrelated results that will distinguish England's articulation of his theory from other earlier formulations that have not yet been translated into successful theory-testing research agendas.

Above all, as described on the home page mentioned above, England is involved in knitting together the understanding of life and various stages of life-like processes combining the perspectives of biology and physics:
Living things are good at collecting information about their surroundings, and at putting that information to use through the ways they interact with their environment so as to survive and replicate themselves. Thus, talking about biology inevitably leads to talking about decision, purpose, and function.
At the same time, living things are also made of atoms that, in and of themselves, have no particular function. Rather, molecules and the atoms from which they are built exhibit well-defined physical properties having to do with how they bounce off of, stick to, and combine with each other across space and over time.

Making sense of life at the molecular level is all about building a bridge between these two different ways of looking at the world.
If that sounds intriguing, you might enjoy this hour-long presentation of his work (with splashes of local Swedish color) — especially (but not only) if you're a science nerd.
Whether or not England's theory proves out in the end, he's already doing quite a lot to build that bridge between worldviews and inspire others to make similar efforts. Science is not just about making new discoveries, but about seeing the world in new ways — which then makes new discoveries almost inevitable. And England has already succeeded in that.  As the Quanta article explained:

England's theoretical results are generally considered valid. It is his interpretation — that his formula represents the driving force behind a class of phenomena in nature that includes life — that remains unproven. But already, there are ideas about how to test that interpretation in the lab.
"He's trying something radically different," said Mara Prentiss, a professor of physics at Harvard who is contemplating such an experiment after learning about England's work. "As an organizing lens, I think he has a fabulous idea. Right or wrong, it's going to be very much worth the investigation."

Creationists often cast themselves as humble servants of God, and paint scientists as arrogant, know-it-all rebels against him. But, unsurprisingly, they've got it all backwards, once again. England's work reminds us that it's scientists' willingness to admit our own ignorance and confront it head on — rather than papering over it — that unlocks the great storehouse of wonders we live in and gives us our most challenging, satisfying quests.

Državljanin Srbije pao u najdublji deo kanjona Morače


Državljanin Srbije Tomislav Perić (52) iz Obrenovca pao je niz litice kanjona, nakon što je izašao iz automobila da udahne vazduha jer mu je tokom vožnje bilo loše.

Tužiteljka iz Kolašina Maja Šćepanović kazala je "Blicu Crna Gora" da se nesreća dogodila u jutranjim satima, te da su Perićevi saputnici, supruga, brat i snaha ispričali da im se tokom vožnje požalio da mu je loše i tražio od brata da zaustavi automobil kako bi malo izašao van.

Zaustavili su se na jednom od proširenja kod vezanih tunela 7, 8 i 9. On je, kako su rekli njegovi najbliži, stajao na ivici proširenja kada se iznenada survao niz liticu.

Mesto gde je Perić pao najdublji je deo kanjona Morače.

Šćepanović je kazala da je telo uočeno u reci i da su odmah angažovani ronioci Specijalne antiterorističke jedinice policije. Potraga i dalje traje.

- Reka je nabujala i veoma brza. Uslovi za ronioce su veoma rizični – rekla je
Šćepanović.

Porodica Perić vraćala se iz manastira Ostrog.

Trovanje na crkvenoj misi

IZVOR: TANJUG

Vinkovci -- Sedam osoba zatražilo medicinsku pomoć posle mise u Vinkovcima zbog trovanja ugljen monoksidom, nastalog usled kvara na sistemu grejanja u crkvi.

 

Po rečima portparola vukovarsko-sremske policije Domagoja Džigumovića, sve osobe su van životne opasnosti, a lekarska pomoć ima je pružena u gradskoj bolnici, prenosi Hina.

Među osobama koje su zatražile pomoć ima i dvoje je dece koja su zadržana u bolnici na daljem posmatranju, a ostali su pušteni kućama.

"Na mestu događaja obavljen je uviđaj i utvrđeno je da je nastao tehnički kvar, nepotpuno sagorevanje na jedinici za zagrevanje prostorije", rekao je novinarima Domagoj Džigumović.

Стивене, узми Сникерс. Много си се нешто разгњевио око Бога који "не постоји"

[Meho Krljic]

Misliš kao što se mi razgnevimo kad nam se pomene nepočinjeni genocid u Srebrenici? Turke i njihov nepočinjeni genocid u Jermeniji da i ne pominjem. Ipak je gnev kao reakcija na nešto što ne postoji a svi ti ga naturaju na nos dosta česta reakcija, nije Stiven usamljen u tome, jelte.

Mada naravno, ništa gore od nametljivih ateista.
