Freepers- I need some help finding a book explaining the dovetail of science and religion. Here is my senario: My 15 year old nephew has been raised Catholic, goes to Mass every week, made all sacraments. Mom is practicing, father, agnostic but was raised Catholic.

Green shoots...... Click to read, not sure of the rules but they can't be good with cnbc on here, so I didn't post anything. very short article, worth the laugh!

LA JOLLA — A team at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla says it bred live mice from mouse skin cells, advancing a technique that could offer an alternative to the controversial use of embryonic stem cells. The work, reported online yesterday by the journal Nature, involves reprogramming normal cells to create what are known as induced pluripotent stem cells.

I hope I posted this correctly. Story at link. Treasure Coast Floridians will be having a special election to replace Ken Pruitt.

I just received this email from a friend. I don't have a clue if the story is true or based on truth, or just a feel good email, but I enjoyed it so I am posting it here. His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming...

Where is Waldo, I mean, Joe Biden? There has not been a peep about him that I have heard for some time now. He needs to be let out, he must be getting hungry, no shoes to eat for some time now LOL. Anybody seen/heard of our MIA/VP? Any sightings? Do tell.........

Wow! Excellent 8 minute video about forms of Government. It breaks it down clearly and precisely. Pass it on. Also check out the site, they are planning a march on washington, soon.....

Not excerpting anything, not sure of rules, also if I put this in any wrong catagories, as I don't usually post stuff like this We are way winning the poll, but very low volume. Talks about whether you think the tea parties are inspiring or ridiculous great coverage of the tea parties on the treasure coast. Son and me are in the PSL video below the poll :) Freep it!!

I cannot figure out how to find an old post relating to an purported email from a man who said he was having dinner in Russia and the gist of it was that the wife of one of the attendees said Obama was selected by the communist party to run our country long before we ever heard of him. It ran on here about a month or so ago, and I cannot find it. My mother would like me to send it to her, so if anyone with more knowledge/access to previous posts, or the original poster could repost or...

Hey everyone, Please check out the website linked to this article for information about the tea parties being held (confirmed) in DE. There is one in Georgetown from 12-2 on the circle in Georgetown and one in Laurel from 4-7 pm. Both parties have email links at the site to get more information. There is also mention of a tea party in Dover and Wilmington, though no other info is available on the site as of yet. Please use the website as an excellent resource and point of contact for FReepers in DE interested in attending!

Hey all you FReepers. My son is getting married in January of 2010. I would like some suggestions about a mother/son dance besides Boy of Mine/Bing Crosby. Just so we have a little insight for your thought process. My son is a product of my first marriage (shotgun wedding that lasted a couple years). My current husband and I have been married almost 19 years now, and is the man that raised him since he was 3. We are a very close family. We are devout practicing Catholics. I am looking for some song that will speak to strong family...

I am curious if this means what I think it means. I heard that recently Ted Kennedy was Knighted by the Queen of England. In article 1 section 9 of the Constitution, there is a section that seems to forbid this. I have copied the section below. Am I missing something? Did our Congress grant this permission? Article 1 Section 9 No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of...

What on earth are they voting on in the senate right now? Motion to table Charlie Rangels Allegations? WTF? Guess it must be good to be the king, or in his court, or am I missing something??

Please remember the request made in here last week to pray while Obamas infomercial is airing!! We discussed it in here last week, many across the country have joined in prayer while it was on. Please offer up an Our Father, rosary, or some other form of prayer for Godly leaders in our country, and more importantly, a Pro Life Candidate!! Thank you FReepers!
