Re: History And World Religions
What the TED talk did was highlight a possible path, not the liklihood that this was how life was created. Just my opinion. Yes, a possible path.

Re: Honour Killings Increase In The UK
Just to be fair we should also discuss what Bible says: For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood is upon him. Leviticus 20-9 Anyone who strikes father or mother must be put to death. http://bible.cc/exodus/21-15.ht...

This is amazing news! It means that a unified theory of everything is about to be proved.
Which will be a revolution in science.
I wonder if anyone here is as excited as I am?
