Showdown in Najaf

Showdown in Najaf 08/16/2004 12:35 PM
The Iraqi holy city of Najaf may be on the brink of a bloodbath, but are Americans getting a clear picture of the escalating conflict there? Not if they're watching CNN Headline News, says Middle East expert Juan Cole. "The American public has no idea how bad it is in Iraq because it gets lots of contradictory reports and has no way of wading through or evaluating them," he writes, adding that the latest wave of destabilizing violence in Iraq is very much a homegrown problem there.

Today is Friday the 13th, a day believed to bring bad luck in some cultures, so for a superstitious executive, perhaps not a good day to have to make a $30 billion-plus decision that could make -- or break -- a company.

SETI@Vatican 05/13/2004 05:10 AM
The Vatican's official astronomer, Brother Guy Consolmagno, has given an interview in which he discusses the Vatican's thinking on what to do if alien intelligence is discovered.

We find an intelligent civilization and there's no way in creation we can communicate with them because they're so alien to us. We can't talk to dolphins now. In which case, we'll never know.

Second scenario: We find the intelligent civilization. We can communicate. We discover that they have the two essentials that theologians talk about for the human soul, intelligence and free will. They know who they are, they're self-aware, and they're able to do something about it. I think dogs are self-aware, but they don't have a whole lot of free will. Maybe computers are the same sort of thing. Human beings have to have both...

A third scenario: We find a dozen civilizations out there, and a bunch of Jehovah's witnesses go up and convert them all. At the end of the day, every civilization is Christian, except the human race is still not too sure about this. I mean, anything's possible.

The Vatican vs. Dan Brown

The Vatican vs. Dan Brown 03/17/2005 03:56 AM
David Pescovitz: The Vatican has appointed Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone to speak out against Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. From Reuters:

"A lot of novels do good but this book is rotten food ... it does harm, not good," Bertone said in the 30-minute interview in the offices of the Vatican's doctrinal department.

"This book is a sack full of lies against the Church, against the real history of Christianity and against Christ himself," said Bertone, archbishop of northern Genoa.... "I would ask the author of this book and similar ones to be more respectful because freedom of expression has limits when it does not respect others," he said...

Bertone said he was stunned that Catholic bookstores, even those near the Vatican, were selling the book.

"It's impossible to pull the book off shelves of general bookstores ... but certainly not selling it in Catholic bookstores would be a good first step," he said.
