A Rocha - The Rock

Posted by Matt Jones on Monday, December 10, 2007. Filed under Religion, Social Commentary.

Jesus called Peter the rock on which he will build his church. Well I am pretty sure that Jesus would have been on board with this rock as well: A Rocha (which means “the rock” in Portuguese).
The first A Rocha project began in Portugal in 1983. A field study centre and bird observatory was [...]

The Solution to Global Warming and Peak Oil? Math

Posted by Matt Jones on Saturday, October 13, 2007. Filed under Around the World, Social Commentary.

A Response to the “Proof of God” Debate

Posted by Matt Jones on Thursday, May 17, 2007. Filed under Religion, Social Commentary, Theology.

A while back I posted that a “Best-selling Author Will ‘Prove’ God’s Existence”. I wasn’t able to see the show, but apparently they did it, God was proven without a doubt using pure science and everyone believes now. Ok, maybe not so much. Sorry, I don’t mean to be flippant about this, [...]
