I always pick up a copy of the Economist when I fly on a plane.  It's
packed with interesting text to read and can take almost an entire
cross country plane trip to get through.  At any rate...

For those with an interest in science... the Dec 24 - Jan 6 Economist
has an interesting summary of the most recent research related to
several competing theories about evolution, particularly interesting
to me was the discussion of what caused the "great leap forward" in
which some (point of argument) event caused humans to make a huge jump
forward in evolutionary progress.

For those with an interest in religion...  That same issue contains an
article called "Churches as Businesses, Jesus, CEO" which is all about
the huge growth in megachurches, with the most successfull being run
as businesses.  The article's pretty good and seems to have a nuetral
attitude, spending time describing the good things these churches can
do because of their size, and also some somewhat extravegant
(negative) things such as a Pastor of one in Georgia who drives a
Rolls Royce and has his own Gulfstream jet (maybe we are all in the
wrong business?).
