Science and religion can work together

Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 12 a.m.

Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, in his lecture at IU on Oct. 12, presented a strong and unflinching defense of biological evolution. He also relentlessly attacked religious faith of any kind, particularly Christianity and Islam, calling the biblical book of Genesis “the scribblings of goat herders.” During Dawkins’ talk, Christians outside the auditorium handed out cards insisting that evolution is incompatible with the Bible.

Dawkins and militant atheism

Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 12 a.m.

I pity Richard Dawkins. For all his obvious intellect and achievements, he “lacks one thing.”

Against the hate crimes bill

Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 12 a.m.

Unlike the Indiana Daily Student’s editorial board (Oct. 16), I am very disappointed in Baron Hill for voting to criminalize thought by supporting the fraudulent “hate crimes” bill that was dishonestly attached to a defense spending authorization.

Crime will not hurt Olympic host

Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009 11:04 p.m.

The International Olympic Committee expressed confidence Tuesday that Brazil will deliver a safe Olympics in 2016 despite the weekend violence between rival drug gangs that killed 21 people in Rio de Janeiro.

Bailout

A return to legal precedent

By IDS · Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009 10:45 p.m.

The unprecedented nature of the Chrysler bankruptcy meant that the risk investors originally agreed to turned out to be a far cry from the real risk they eventually faced. And ultimately, the Indiana taxpayer is going to be the one that has to make up for these losses.

Major confusions

By Rachel Goldberg · Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009 10:39 p.m.

About five years ago, my high school organized a trip to New York City. One night, they took us to see the acclaimed play “Avenue Q,” a raunchy musical performed entirely with puppets. I’ll never forget the opening song, which managed to articulate the most crucial question in my college existence. The song is titled “What Do You Do with a B.A. in English?”

It’s time to bring back slide rules

By John Brown · Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009 10:35 p.m.

I romanticize the ’60s. Bob Dylan is on continuous loop in my car. My favorite Halloween costume as a kid was not the chess piece or Einstein, but the astronaut, complete with paper mache helmet. I’m so attached to “Mad Men” that when I found out IU cable doesn’t have AMC, I swiftly downloaded it. Legally. Ah, to return to that age of tailored clothing, social change, great music, and of course, slide rules.

Missed opportunity

By Nathan Dixon · Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009 10:28 p.m.

“Not Evil, Just Wrong,” a new film arguing that evidence for man-made global warming is inconclusive and that efforts to curb carbon emissions will necessarily lead to economic catastrophe, premiered at IU last Sunday. The film was shown by the IU College Republicans in Woodburn Hall, and even though it didn’t attract a big crowd – the group’s weekly meetings do much better – the screening was significant. I thought it represented a missed opportunity.

Musical to TV: Cast of ‘Glee’ glistens in spotlight

By Erica Rogers · Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009 10:22 p.m.

The glittery cast of “Glee” and its catchy covers of hit pop songs have made their way into our TV-loving hearts this season, and the show continues to be one of the most highly anticipated on FOX.  This musical comedy series is based around a show choir, also known as the “glee club,” and the struggles among the students and teachers.
