Bruce Dern goes whacko when he and his crew are told they have to kill the last of the forests kept in geodesic domes in space. Dern kills all his crew mates and listens to Joan Baez tunes while falling in love with some robots. In the end, Dern does what any self-loathing homicidal tree-hugger would do and makes the ultimate sacrifice for nature by committing suicide… 2008-05-11 18:48:05 PDT http://technorati.com/search/waadah.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/silent-running/ 3 5 http://skeptigator.com/2008/05/11/revolutionary-freethought/ http://skeptigator.com/2008/05/11/revolutionary-freethought/ Sun, 11 May 2008 18:42:11 -0700 I have recently finished reading Susan Jacoby’s Freethinkers: A History of American Secularism. It is in my opinion an essential read in understanding the history of FreeThought and Secularism in America. I have re-read a number of sections and followed up on other articles and a number of historical points. It’s hard for me to understate what an enormous impact this book has made in my understanding of freethought and secularism. I’ve had bits and pieces before, like the secular roots of the 2008-05-11 18:42:11 PDT http://technorati.com/search/skeptigator.com/2008/05/11/revolutionary-freethought/ 14 23 http://heavenawaits.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/earthquake-pattern-increasing-for-jerusalem-%e2%80%93-end-times/ http://heavenawaits.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/earthquake-pattern-increasing-for-jerusalem-%e2%80%93-end-times/ Sun, 11 May 2008 18:36:41 -0700 Jerusalem has a pattern of earthquakes.

David Parsons, author of a seven-volume textbook called The Quest for Right that claims to finally provide a synthesis of science and the Bible.  Now that I’ve read through his site I’ll have more to say about Quest for Right in future posts, but for the moment I’ll start with the excerpt from his book that he so helpfully copied and pasted in the comments: “The National Center for Science Education is antichrist.” Ju 2008-05-11 18:35:17 PDT http://technorati.com/search/www.irreligiosity.com/2008/05/11/science-education-and-the-quest-for-right/ 4 4 Irreligiosity http://osir.org.in/data/science/2008/05/12/wwwosirorgin-stressed-seaweed-lives-under-a-cloud-of-its-own-making-times-online/ http://osir.org.in/data/science/2008/05/12/wwwosirorgin-stressed-seaweed-lives-under-a-cloud-of-its-own-making-times-online/ Sun, 11 May 2008 18:30:14 -0700 Brown seaweed is to blame for some of those cloudy days at the seaside, scientists believe.

One answer is that CAI does correlate well with protein expression in many proteomics studies; but surely these same studies contain raw data with protein expression level? On reflection, I bet the answer is that it’s too difficult and laborious to access this type of data. There are plenty of papers that describe large-scale analysis of protein expression using prote 2008-05-11 18:27:45 PDT http://technorati.com/search/nsaunders.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/proteomics-discussion-from-the-science-streamosphere/ 56 156 http://harefa.web.id/english/?p=19 http://harefa.web.id/english/?p=19 Sun, 11 May 2008 18:27:29 -0700 Two opposed viewpoints raise complementary problems about causation. The first is from Hume: watch the child kick the ball. You see the foot touch the ball and the ball move off. But do you see the foot cause the ball to move? And if you do not see it, how do you know that that is what happened? Indeed if all our experience is like this, and all of our ideas come from experience, where could we get the idea of causation in the first place? The second is from Kant.
