If God could speak the universe into existence, create the universe Ex-Nihilo — out of nothing, could He part the Red Sea? Can He raise a man from the dead? Of course! That’s child’s play for Him! If God exists, and he does, then miracles are possible. There have been countless accounts of them.What is a miracle?Richard Purtill, a philosophy professor at Western Washington University, defines a miracle this way:“A miracle is an event brought...

What are the ideal traits you look for in a Presidential candidate, what issues do they support, what issues do they oppose, and who (if the election were this year) would best represent your ideal?

The case of John Bolton is about politics (unhousebroken conservatives must be stopped), payback (you tick me off, I'll pick you off) and personality. People who have worked with him allege he is heavy-handed, curmudgeonly and not necessarily lovably so. I don't know him, but I suspect there's some truth in it.

US activists demand lawyers for chimps Our nearest relative: Should apes get lawyers too? Animal activists in the United States have launched a new campaign to let chimpanzees go to court. The Chimpanzee Collaboratory says chimpanzees are so close to humans - sharing 98.7% of our genetic make-up - that they deserve to get the same kind of legal representation as children. A minimum level of autonomy is sufficient to justify the basic legal right to bodily integrity Lawyer Steven Wise Campaigners say this would let activists act as legal guardians for the chimps, potentially lodging law suits against researchers...
