When he saw the results, Schreiner said the image of an angel jumped right out at him. "To me, it looked like an angel," Schreiner said. "A lot of people are going to say, 'Yeah, it's just a coincidence.' But if you take a good look...

Man 'not to blame' for extinction of giant wombat By Roger Highfield, Science Editor (Filed: 31/05/2005) Humans may have been unjustly accused of wiping out the giant kangaroos, wombats and other massive marsupials that roamed Australia 40,000 years ago, new research suggests. One study by British and Australian scientists reveals today that humans co-existed with megafauna - large native animals such as the Diprotodon, a three-ton, wombat-like creature, a ferocious, marsupial "lion" and the world's all-time biggest lizard - for at least 15,000 years. Another, by a Queensland team, suggests it was climate change, rather than early Australian aborigines, that...

4/15/2005 - F. E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. (AFPN) -- Besides the issued M-9 or M-16, an installation entry controller here packs additional weapons like a left hook, upper cut and jab that would make even the boldest intruders stop in their tracks.

Over the past couple of years, evangelicals have taken an increased interest in the environment. You may have read about some of the meetings that have been held recently in Washington. This is a good thing, because evangelicals have often forgotten that we have a stewardship responsibility for all of God’s creation. That means the air we breathe, the water we drink, the wilderness areas we all enjoy. I applaud some of the evangelical leaders who have been pricking our consciences—and some who have been setting good examples by driving fuel-efficient vehicles. But evangelicals need to remember that we are...
