Pollution...
This Just In...NASA To Work In Outer Space
The New York Times ran a piece this last week arguing against newer NASA policies that, believe it or not, allow NASA to use its money for programs like the Space Shuttle instead of "the study of the atmosphere."
Is it any wonder we are in the state we are in when there is stealth agenda funding for things like environmental studies in the budget for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration? Since when did atmospheric pollution have anything to do with aeronautics or space?
Real Science At Purdue
Mostly I wanted to get in a Purdue plug, increasingly the only state university in Indiana doing anything worthwhile anymore. This story is concerning the development of a new catalyst for cleaner burning of natural gas. This is good hard science that will make the world better. Can't argue with it.
The Robustness Of Creation
This article put a smile on my face.
Enjoying Creation
This link will take you to the MSNBC multimedia page. Scroll down until you see a photo essay entitled, "A Desert Blooms." It is pictures of Death Valley with its wildflowers in full bloom. For those of you not in the neighborhood, plants do grow there, sort of, and once a year, it can be spectacular. This year is really special because of the rains. Beautiful flowers in the desert -- God can do some really amazing things.

This article put a smile on my face.
In a startling discovery, geneticists at Purdue University say they have found plants that possess a corrected version of a defective gene inherited from both their parents, as if some handy backup copy with the right version had been made in the grandparents' generation or earlier.Hey, check that out -- Purdue -- again. Anyway, similar results, though without the actual genetic testing, were found in flora study done in the wake of the Chernobyl disaster. It is sheer hubris on our part when we think we can "destroy the planet." God has got a lot of things up His sleeve that we have yet to dream about.
