Australian researchers said, "Australia's kangaroos are genetically similar to humans and may have first evolved in China." Humans and kangaroos last shared an ancestor at least 150 million years ago, the researchers found, while mice and humans diverged from one another only 70 million years ago.

The U.S. Supreme Court appeared divided on Wednesday on whether a city violated a religious group's free-speech rights by refusing to put its monument in a public park near a similar Ten Commandments display. The Summun religious group, founded in Salt Lake City in 1975, sought to erect a monument to the tenets of its faith, called the "Seven Aphorisms," in a park where there are other monuments, including one dedicated to the Ten Commandments.

Pamela Harris, the attorney representing the religious group, said the city cannot allow the Ten Commandments display while denying Summum access for a display about the tenets of its faith. She said, "That's a violation of the core free-speech principle that the government may not favor one message over another in a public forum."

Should it be allowed? What do you think?

Disgraced Evangelical Pastor Ted Haggard says he was sexually abused by one of his father's employees when he was 7. He was caught up in a sex scandal involving a male prostitute at the congregation of a Morrison, Ill.. In 2006, Haggard was fired as pastor of the 14,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs when a former male prostitute alleged they had a cash-for-sex relationship.

當我長大後考入警察學校，其後畢業當上了警察，每次返工必經過看到大厦外牆一幅大型標題寫著”耶穌說 : 我就是道路、真理、生命、若不藉著我、沒有人能到父那裏去。”約翰福音 14章6節，當時我非常反感”信我的人有永生”憎恨基督教太霸道，我親眼親耳見過聽過輪廻之事，不信耶穌豈不是落地獄嗎？簡直令人討厭難以接受。而我也有理性去分析，如當年大部份警署都擺放關帝神龕(現警署已拆除關帝位)， 眼見很多師兄、長官，開工前或升職都會拜關帝，祈求保守平安及升官發財，而我就從未拜過關帝，因黑社會、行偏門的又拜關帝祈求保祐他們生意興隆，免被警察 捉拿，這樣豈不諷刺嗎？並且也認識某小撮警察，他們賭錢、嫖妓、對女友、妻子不忠，還可理直氣壯高談闊論，他們拜只是求心安理得。

婚外情令婚姻面臨破裂

因我開朗的性格，常在寫字樓與同事交談關係甚好，有一次一位單身女同事因身體有 肝炎困擾及欠家人照顧下，所以憑著關懷憐憫的心照顧下康復，每日也因多了接觸不知不覺間雙方建立了感情，其後日子關係有如初戀男女，我良心知道婚外情係錯 的！但內心就讓它繼續，雖然無發生性關係，但內心思想比行為更為醜惡污穢，可以用同床異夢形容當時同太太關係，經常拿太太與女同事作比較，對太太諸多不 滿，其後更在太太面前講電話、完全無顧及太太感受、我當時懷疑究竟同女同事這段感情會不會至係我嘅真愛呢？另一方面冷落了我太太，夫妻關係面臨決擇，所以 太太孤身無助常暗暗地哭泣，她以前在基督教學校讀書，曾認識耶穌基督向神禱告、於是她在無人的時候便嘗試向神呼求，希望挽救我們婚姻及我能夠認識到天父改 過返回她的身邊。

本人心內想"差人是team work 而關公重友情 所以差人拜關公. 賊又是team work所以賊人拜關公. 你說他們拜求平安 升官, d人信教咪又係求"心安理得". 同一原理; 五十步笑百步. 現在, 差人拜耶穌, 賊也拜耶穌!! "

佢又話多科學家是基督徙。

其實, 很多科學家不是基督徒. 最近 一次調查 顯示60-70%以上科學家不是基督徒.

獻上三調查結果:

A study has shown atheism to be particularly prevalent among scientists, a tendency already quite marked at the beginning of the 20th century, developing into a dominant one during the course of the century. In 1914, James H. Leuba found that 58% of 1,000 randomly selected U.S. natural scientists expressed "disbelief or doubt in the existence of God" (defined as a personal God which interacts directly with human beings). The same study, repeated in 1996, gave a similar percentage of 60.7%; this number is 93% among the members of the National Academy of Sciences. Expressions of positive disbelief rose from 52% to 72%.^[9]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_atheism

"Scientists and Religion in America"Scientific American, September 1999
"Whereas 90% of the general population has a distinct belief in a personal god and a life after death, only 40% of scientists on the B.S. level favor this belief in religion and merely 10 % of those who are considered 'eminent' scientists believe in a personal god or in an afterlife.
"Leading Scientists Still Reject God"Nature, 394(6691):313, 23 July 1998
A recent survey of members of the National Academy of Sciences showed that 72% are outright atheists, 21% are agnostic and only 7% admit to belief in a personal God.

點解d基督教徒成日講"很多科學家是基督徙"  ?

***********************************************

此位美籍華裔科學家(?)兼佈道家吳宣倫博士(?), 佢自稱是"進化論專家"連蛋先都唔知,  對genetic engineering 認識甚淺, 又點談得上 "基因圖譜操控生死"？

通常, d科學家發明了野就會申請專利權. 在十月六日, 2008年, 我在US patent office website 查佢有乜科技成就 (Wu, Daniel) 是否出色科學家.

在"專利權"website, 我輸入 Wu, Daniel as inventor and Hewlett-Packard (all field) ---> 冇結果.
我再輸入 Wu, Daniel as inventor and Texas Instruments ---> 又冇結果... 在出名的科學亦看不到他的著作, 這顯示吳宣倫博士很可能不是科學家,

如果 Daniel Wu 真是科學家 必須有客觀立場, 或算吳宣倫博士不認同genetic engineering
/科學角度, 亦必需在"蛋先雞先"演講中列出來比較, 或在"基因圖譜"演講中, 把他的構想和"遺傳工程正確知識"遂一比較.

你話"蛋先定還是雞先"? 因為新品種是由於DNA的改变. 而DNA改变可由唔同品種交配 或mutation. 由DNA改變了的"受精蛋"長大就变新品種--->此處是雞. 若mutation在母體出現 結果多是DNA病或cancer!
