God?

I saw this article on drudgereport the other day and was rather shocked. http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001659292

Apparenlty a recent Gallup pole found that 94 percent of Americans believe in god.
The sample size was not as large as it should be to be incredibly accurate but the results are still intersting.

Why is there so much anti-god sentiment in the media if an overwhelming percentage of the population believe in God?

Rule the World

Hey everybody. Does anyone still check in on this? I'm in an Ethics class this semester so I'm sure I will have plenty of new conversations to start in the coming weeks.

In school the other day, a friend showed me an interesting website. www.nationstates.com For those of you that enjoy politics, this is a game where you set up and run your own mock country. They also have interesting political message boards. After creating a country they give you different issues to deal with the way you respond determines how your country develops. I just started but it seems pretty fun so far.

Global dimming vs Global Warming

I don't know that anyone pays attention to this anymore but I thought I would add something that caught my eye.

Check out this article. http://www.nature.com/news/2005/050502/full/050502-8.html

Apparently, the trend of using cleaner fuels and reducing the amount of pollution in the atmosphere has worked. The skies are much cleaner than they used to be. But more sunlight reaching the earth's surface may increase the likelihood of global warming. Seems like we just can't win.
