| Slanted?We went, as a family, to see Expelled (really enjoyed it… made us both think and laugh). I went to the Seattle Times’ Web site to look up theaters and times (my goto place every time I want to see a movie… which would be about once or twice a year). I wasn’t all that surprised to read the lead line on their unbiased description: “A highly slanted documentary about evolution - or as the movie refers to it, "Darwinism" - and how its proponents have shut off any sort of debate about whether our origins depend, not on random mutation, but a Creator.” Of course it would be slanted; documentaries like these generally have some agenda to push.
Now reflecting on the movie, I no longer agree; I can’t really say that it was slanted at all. No Bible thumping. No jamming any ideas down anybody’s throat, theological ideas or otherwise. The main point of the movie is that it appears that powerful scientists refuse to behave scientifically when it comes to the origin of life.
So… where does the Times get off on declaring the movie slanted? In order to call something slanted, I suppose one ought to have a sense of plumb. And, I suppose that the Times’ writer decided long ago that Darwinism is a perfectly aligned fact of science.
Check out the movie and decide for yourself. |

| Snow!1/2 foot of heavy wet snow in April... broke every record here in Seattle. Last Saturday it was high 70s and I was on a golf course. This Saturday I had to call my ol' pal Ted to work on a tree that toppled over because of the saturated ground and the weight of the snow. Weird. |

| TwitterI've been messing around with social networking sites this evening. "Twitter" seems like a whole 'nother level of intrusion.

| Could it be that Psalm 4:1a (just those first seven words) are prophetic for all husbands trying to reach wives on a mobile phone... or maybe parents trying to reach their kids???  |
