The ability to see the humanity in everyone is not equal to condoning their actions and is less of a comment on them and more of a comment on you. Maybe it's from growing up a pacifist (not taught - just the way I always have been). Musings while bedridden with the sickness that has been going 'round. #Empathy #Compassion #NotWeakness

At the risk of being over simplistic: To be believe in a deity and to accept science really just requires a belief that that god did it. Essentially what the Pope is saying here. Evolution is true, but god started it off. The big bang is true, but god was the first cause. (Inb4 the big bang is really just one of many theories but arguably the most popular.) Science doesn't disprove god. It merely shows that you don't necessarily require one (and point in which the Pope and I disagree). It's not that hard to integrate god with science, really, philosophically. What is hard to integrate is dogma. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-declares-evolution-and-big-bang-theory-are-right-and-god-isnt-a-magician-with-a-magic-9822514.html

This little guy hurt himself somehow! There were cats everywhere so he's resting inside. He is dubbed Piper (think he's a Sandpiper) and he's going to hang out until he can fly again. (at Hauser)
