Is There Anybody Out There?

Sorry for the sporadic blogging; I’ve been traveling a lot. I missed Sunday’s post, but this one–though related to current events science news–will have obvious religious overtones. On Facebook Daniel Kuehn shared this HuffPo article about a recent NASA panel telling the general public about the search for extraterrestrial life. Here is the opening of […]

“Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?”

Here’s one way of resolving the age-old question…
