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?). -Cameron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Flash MX Pro from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=57 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:190129 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
