This  leads many to say non-believers cannot behave morally and/or cannot be  moral. Albert Einstein denied that morality required or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Iran&#8217;s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said today that music is &#8220;not compatible&#8221; with the values of the Islamic republic, and should not be practised or taught in the country.
In some of the most extreme comments by a senior regime figure since the 1979 revolution, Khamenei said: &#8220;Although music is halal, promoting and teaching it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When attempting to form a logical argument, it’s vital to be aware of the various logical fallacies people often use. These fallacies are essentially arguments that may sound good and reasonable, but are, in fact, very flawed ways of thinking and arguing. Christian apologetics are often full of many different fallacies, including an article recently [...]]]></description>

The researchers constructed a bacterium&#8217;s &#8220;genetic software&#8221; and transplanted it into a host cell.
The resulting microbe then looked and behaved like the species &#8220;dictated&#8221; by the synthetic DNA.
The advance, published in Science, has been hailed as a [...]]]></description>

A man in Boulder — yes, my home town — is trying to meditate the oil leak away. His idea?
