Even though the theory remains to be proved, its implications dovetail with the experiences of parents like Michele Colburn, a working mother from Washington who recently spent six months battling lice on her 11-year-old daughter. "The lice would disappear from her head and then reappear," Colburn recalls. "I went to the public library at the National Institutes of Health and read up everything on lice.

These radical notions dovetail with a spiritual movement known as process theology, whose proponents argue that God evolves along with man. In their mind, the immutable God embraced by scholars like Plantinga make no more sense today than an unchanging computer operating system.

...truth, Israelis themselves don't agree where their country should go, and they proved it twice over in the divided, fragmented Knesset they elected to govern with Netanyahu. They gave no clear-cut mandate to any leaders, vesting large parliamentary powers in small parties whose priorities sometimes dovetail and sometimes contradict one another as well as the major parties with which they will align.
