    BBC: Around the World in 80 Faiths

    Thanks so much for this, SageTree. This was a great series and I emailed the BBC to enquire if a DVD was available. That was last year, and no response. Frubals for posting this.

    Good pic of you in the kilt, Klaufi. Definitely need a sporran, though. They can be expensive, but if you go for a basic one (i.e. no fur or ornaments), it can work out quite cheap.

    Do I enjoy poetry? I rarely read it, to be honest. Sometimes I'll come across it in a book and can appreciate it, but I don't go out of my way to read it. You?

    Kilts!

    Klaufi Do you wear a sporran with the kilt? If you don't, then it'll look too much like a skirt, which, I assume, you don't want. As stated above, give us some pictures!

    Dolphin converts

    If intelligent dolphins are observing us, I would hope they would have learned by now not to go down that road...

    Atheist scientists 'spiritual but not religious'

    I agree. Could the disagreement on this thread be down to a lack of consensus on the term 'spiritual'? I don't think anyone here is denying the feelings people experience, but the problem seems to be the terminology used to describe them. Because the word spiritual, in the mind of many...

    Atheist scientists 'spiritual but not religious'

    If ‘spirituality’ or ‘spiritual feelings’ are a product of our brain chemistry (as many neurobiologists and psychologists now think), then why shouldn’t scientists be spiritual? After all, being human, they are subject to the actions of brain hormones and molecules as much as anyone else. In...

    Atheist scientists 'spiritual but not religious'

    I agree. To me, spirituality is the sense of connection I have with the world I live in. Reading Carl Sagan indicates that he appears to have had some sort of spirituality based on the sheer 'awesomeness' of the universe. The problem with the term is that it is loaded with religious...

    Scottish Independence

    I'm sure we would let you in if you were well-behaved (and stopped talking about 1966). ;) I think, given the recent hammering the Con-Dems took in the elections, less resources will be going to Scotland from Westminster over the next few years. I can't see Cameron /Clegg being too forgiving...

    Study suggests chimpanzees are self aware

    Ah, I missed that. Thanks, Croak.

    Study suggests chimpanzees are self aware

    Point taken. I only have access to the abstract, which concludes: "These findings indicate that chimpanzees and humans share the fundamental cognitive processes underlying the sense of being an independent agent.", and I assumed that neurological similarities between chimps and humans would be...

    Study suggests chimpanzees are self aware

    Yes, the study didn't set out to show that chimps are self-aware - that's been known for years. What was under investigation was the mechanism by which they achieve self-awareness.

    Study suggests chimpanzees are self aware

    "All the results suggested that "chimpanzees and humans share fundamental cognitive processes underlying the sense of being an independent agent," the researchers concluded." What could be the implications of this research to those that believe that only humans have free will?
