this week’s round-up (july 9b)

After 5 minutes of hitting the “Publish Post” button, I remembered I wanted to include this piece of video from last night’s Daily Show. I doubt I’ll pick up the book, but I do like where the discussion is headed recognizing that science and religion aren’t necessarily in opposition, and what we need right now are the best minds from science and theology working together, instead of mediocre commentators waging cultural battles.
