POPSExtraordinary evidence in Science Apparently, some collagen was found in a T-Rex bone and it allowed scientists to get a protein sequence from it that shows Rex is probably related to birds. I like this comment because it does show something about the burden of proof and how science takes it very seriously. They're not always right, but they'll work hard to find the truth. Basically if a scientist claims something extraordinary, then they're going to give you the extraordinary proof. I think to do otherwise would make the scientist in question look really, really stupid. Cold fusion, anyone?

POPSUnits of Prayer The Templeton Foundation has apparently spent a ton of money trying to prove that prayer has any measurable effect on the world.

POPSif another theory was viable... Note the part: "...finding a better alternative to evolution would win them fame and fortune." That's what interested me about this clip. If there was another explanation, that would equal a huge Nobel Prize. No one's found a better explanation for how life changes. Evolution doesn't even state necessarily how life started. There are scientists who think Earth was seeded by a comet (panspermia). There was even a cool BBC special about just that on air recently. I just don't see why religious literalists need to see Evolution as a threat. It's a tool for understanding change in life. That's all. The whole article this is clipped from is great, by the way. :)

POPSAnswer to a question: What if you were wrong about god? The whole question that this is the answer to: "By TTM: “What if you die and discover that there is a God? What if He at that point finally manifests Himself to you supernaturally? What if He says He longed for you to have faith in Him and to share a personal relationship with Him and to spend eternity with Him? Do you feel, given this new knowledge, you would be able to say that living your earthly life according to atheistic standards was satisfactory?”

POPSconvincing Don't know why I ever thought of it this way, but to go out and evangelize is perhaps an exercise in convincing one's self.
