Answering Muslims: Lara Logan: On the Lies about al-Qaeda and the Taliban

David Wood posted a clip from speech given by Lara Logan about how al-Qaeda and the Taliban are still killing American soldiers and our government is covering it up.


 I doubt any of this will change who ever becomes President of the US in November. I think Lara Logan is making good point and given her experiences and years of reporting in the Middle East, we should pay her some attention.

Debate: Hugh Ross vs. Lewis Wolpert: Is there Evidence for a Cosmic Creator? - Apologetics 315

Hugh Ross does a great job in arguing for why there is enough evidence to believe that there is a cosmic creator. Lewis Wolpert 's argument appalled me. It broke down to: "I am not a physicist. I do not understand the evidence Hugh Ross is bringing.  There is no evidence for the existence of God." In other words, Wolpert said: I've made up my mind, so do not bother me with facts. Really close-minded. He really lost this debate.

One of the points of evidence Ross uses is about what we have learned about Dark Matter over the past 12 years. Here is a video that presents some information about Dark Matter and some of the conclusions that are being drawn. I don't agree with everything in the video about multiple universes but there is a lot of good science in it representing many view points today.

The New NA28 and the Preservation of Scripture

Dr James White posted the following video discussing the importance of critical textual publications of the New Testament. I agree with him that we should really want to know what original text of the Old Testament said. I also agree with him that we have enough lines of transmission over a large period of time over large geographical areas that we can know what the autographs contained.
