...evangelical Christian, I reject intelligent design because it is not science but bad theology. Within science, it is no crime to admit that we don't have all the answers. Within theology, however, it is a crime to use God as an excuse for our ignorance. If we don't understand how something came about in nature, then we ought to use the brains that God gave us to think about and work on the problem. Otherwise we turn God into a magic word to use whenever we can't figure things...
Advocates of MRI admit that CT scans probably have the edge when it comes to imaging the heart's arteries, but that's about all. "Coronary arteries are only a small part of the heart," says Dr. Raymond Kim, co-director of the Duke Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Center.

As a Muslim, I find it not only refreshing but also encouraging to read an article that challenges what Manji referred to as a "dangerous denial from which mainstream Muslims need to emerge." Perhaps other Muslims will follow Manji's lead and be less hesitant to create a much needed bridge of "cross-cultural understanding." Sara Sadik...
...every thought he'd ever had about himself into rhyme. It was immaculately produced, but what made it compelling was the contradictions. The song Jesus Walks mixed spirituality with skepticism and rap with gospel. All Falls Down slammed the "single black female addicted to retail" but concluded with West admitting, "I wanna act ballerific, like it's all terrific/ I got a couple past due bills, I won't get specific/ I got a problem with spending before I get it/ We all self-conscious, I'm just the first to admit it." Throughout, West careered between the Protestant ethic...
