I'll leave it up to each reader to decide whether the title refers to "evolution and faith in the blogosphere" or "evolution and faith in the blogosphere".
The latest issue of the Metanexus magazine The Global Spiral has a piece by Nancey Murphy on non-reductive physicalism. It meshes nicely with the recent discussions here about topics like emergence and reductionism.
The National Center for Science Education web page has added resources on creationism and law.
I've been having an interesting discussion over at Sandwalk, in a post that was part of the whole discussion of "accomodationism" that seems to still be going on.
Also, Wiley-Blackwell sent me some of their most recent books on philosophy and science fiction, and I'll be blogging about them in the coming days.

These New Atheists are annoying. I miss the old ones. Where's Bertrand Russell when you need him? I don't even use the term atheist or agnostic anymore. When asked I say "I'm not a believer - most of the time." I see the same obsessive need for certitude and affirmation in some of these guys that I do in religious fundamentalists of all stripes. You might as well try to get people to give up breathing as try to get them to give up the search for some sort of divine agency in this absurd world.

I just finished my 1-year-long project to create an on-line video series about teaching the scientific consensus in the context of private Christian education or homreschooling. To help promote the videos, I created a YouTube channel:
