Pew Research Center: Darwin Debated: Religion vs. Evolution
I thought it was interesting to see how many people agree or disagree and how their standing claim justifies on what they believe in, and how it might affect others.Almost 150 years after Charles Darwin published his groundbreaking work On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, Americans are still fighting over evolution.

It's a sad world we live in where the fundamentally religious can't accept scientific truth, and attack a Strawman of the theory of Evolution just so their faith won't be compromised.
I love the graph in that article. Of course Mormons don't believe in Evolution.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
13 year-old boy becomes a father
This is pretty mind-boggling. I think the weirdest thing is how the parents don't really seem to care. It's good that he's being noble and trying to do the right thing, but this poor kid's life is ruined.
Seriously though, 13. I'm sure some of us have siblings that are further in age than that.

It's kind of amazing how she managed to produce a safe carriage. Still, I wouldn't want to be a father at such a young age where learning is still a fundamental experience for most kids.
Iraqi police: Female suicide bomber kills 40
What do people think when they suicide themself in a tent full of innocent women and children? What the hell do they promote the cause for? Their mentality will never be understood as to why they do it in the first place.BAGHDAD – A female suicide bomber attacked a tent filled with women and children resting from a pilgrimage to a Shiite holy city south of Baghdad on Friday, killing 40 people and injuring 60 others, said officials. It was the deadliest attack in Iraq this year and the third straight day of bombings against Shiite pilgrims.

That's the whole problem with religious fanaticism: no one is innocent, so they all must pay the full price.
