Says the Grauniad. Not the "Hurrah", I added that. The Grauniad doesn't come out for it being good or bad news. But I think it is.
So says The Grauniad. Its talking about public access to publicly collected data in the UK.
The grauniad has an article in the IT section about "A cracking alternative to cement".
A letter from Einstein to Eric Gutkind sent in 1954 is up for auction.
It is rather blunt.
From the Grauniad short news story on this:

This is bad news. It wouldn't make much of a difference for people in the US, where the catholic church is a minority, but it would elsewhere. I always have fun reading the debunkings of ID in SBlogs, while having the comfort of coming from a country where it is not an issue, and living in another where it isn't one either (and this applies even to their continents, Southamerica and Europe). But if the Pope jumps into the boat, I'll start hearing about it here and there. Specially there. I'd join the fight, sure, but it's a fun I'd rather not have.
The partial embrace of enlightenment ideas by some religious sects was merely a delay of the inevitable-- like the compromises between Northern and Southern states prior to the Civil War.
A knock-down drag-out conflict between faith-based and reason-and-evidence-based worldviews is inevitable. This is shaping up to be the major cultural conflict of the 21st century. It will probably decide whether humanity will permanently accept it's industrial/technological experiment or will revert to a more primitive way of life.
Point of Logic on Natural Theory of Evolution:
The hypothesis of a Solar System evolution (i.e., formation by random events) is in dispute with Reality. Random events do not dominate the Universe. POINT OF LOGIC: In order for an event to be truly random, the event needs to be Sub-Natural (i.e., an event of Chaos - entropy product). Once the Sub-Natural event has entered the Natural Template, the event becomes confined and directed; the event loses the true randomness of Chaos. Therefore, there can be no Natural Theory of Evolution - only a Sub-Natural Theory of Evolution. Thus, the best lie is the subtlist lie.
The Natural Template of the Solar System is not a random event. PLEASE NOTE: The Pluto/Neptune anomaly of the Titius-Bode progression is predicted in the Initial Mass Displacements of the Solar System. The anomaly is not a random event.

"subtlist lie" should read "subtlest lie" - Sorry, I'm sloppy.
The "subtlest lie" is dialectical logic: pretending to know the thesis and the antithesis to form a synthesis (Gensis 3: 4-6). All religions (including atheism) use it and rationalize it.
In Christianity, we've been commanded to wash each others feet from it. "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees" (Matthew 16: 6,11). Don't worship your rationalization of God - worship God.
