Body of Jesus found in Jerusalem

2009-12-16T05:40:00.000-08:00

Christian leaders from around the world have been reacting to the news from Jerusalem that the body of Jesus Christ, founder of their religion, has finally been located within a burial chamber in the old part of the city.
Professor Shimon Gibson, the archaeologist who discovered the tomb, said ancient writings and contemporary shrouds from other areas ……… finally provided the physical evidence.

“Frankly he’s shocked” admitted Monsignor Luis Pompelino, the spokesman for his holiness Pope Benedict XVI.
“I suppose it brings a kind of closure to the situation, you know.
We always held out hope that he might still be alive, somewhere, but I guess this puts an end to that.”
Christian Evangelical ministers, however, were quick to point out the possible benefits of todays news.
“Considering what happens in most of these cases it was always a somewhat forlorn hope - particularly after not hearing anything for the first couple of thousand years, explained Oral Haggard, leader of the Bareback Church ministry in Colorado
"Perhaps, once the grieving process is over, we can finally learn to stop obsessing about Jesus and begin to move on with our own lives."

Hidden Shame of Belle de Jour

2009-11-17T04:01:00.000-08:00

Friends and family of "high class call girl" Belle de Jour were today said to be reeling at the stunning revelation that the notorious blogger has been leading a secret life as a post doctoral cancer researcher.
"Quite frankly I'm shocked", revealed one source, on conditions of anonymity.
"Hasn't she thought of what this will do to her career?"
"It's all very well dreaming of this sort of irresponsible lifestyle - after all, which one of us, in our wildest fantasies, have never imagined discovering an epidemiological link that explains 16% of the risk of prostate cancer, for instance, or working out which small molecular inhibitor of a specific tyrosine kinase functions as an effective treatment for lymphoma"
"Belle really needs to come to her senses and end this self-destructive behavior that has led her into the 'scientific research' lifestyle and devote herself to developing a more financially viable career, more caring and appreciative employers and a greater stability of employment - such as prostitution"
Family sources admit they should have noticed the signs that were there all along.
"I once heard her mention that she was interested in trying for a tenure track position. I naturally assumed that this was just another unspeakably kinky sex act that a rich client wanted to pay oodles of money for. It's only now that I've looked it up on the internet and finally realized the full horror of what she meant. I think I'm going to be sick, excuse me......"

GrrlScientist for Antarctica!

Sedalia teacher Sherry Melby said "I don't think evolution should be associated with our school" as the now famous Smith-Cotton high school 'Brass Band Evolution' T-shirts were confiscated, prayed over, exorcised, forgiven and then burned at the stake.
Problem solved.

Not so fast Sherry.
Aren't you forgetting something?

Scienceblogger Grrlscientist is on a mission.

With your help she will take the last remaining T-shirt far from the grasping claws of Sedalia Assistant Superintendent Brad Pollitt, the cretinous holly roller who struck the match.

Grrlscientist has agreed to hide the last Smith-Cotton T-shirt in the last place Brad Pollit can possibly find it.

Antactica!

When there Grrlscientist will place the T-shirt in one of four places.

1. Supermans Fortress of Solitude

2. In Adrian Veidt's retreat, Karnak.

3. On the largest naturally selected Emperor Penguin she can find

or in the unlikely event she doesn't manage one of the first three options,

4. On herself and subsequently post a picture of this on the internet!

Scientists discover ’Religious Magisteria’

2009-08-18T04:41:00.000-07:00

The secular and religious world was shocked today by the announcement that the Templeton funded interdisciplinary team, charged with answering the most pressing question in the current culture war of science versus religion, has finally discovered the famed ‘Magisteria of Religion’.
“It appears that Stephen Jay Gould was correct after all” exclaimed team leader Ken Collins.
Gould’s model of ‘Non-Overlapping-Magisteria’ or NOMA for short, has long been held up as a solution to the vexed question of demarcating the roles of naturalism and faith. Gould’s model involved the idea that religion and science occupy two separate spheres of influence – or ‘Magisteria’ as Gould termed them.
Problems with the model, however, arose from the definition of the aforementioned ‘Magisteria’. While the ‘Scientific Magisteria’ was rapidly identified and defined as “everything in nature amenable to empirical analysis”, the Religious Magisteria has, until now, remained elusive.
The reason for this mystery is apparent in the newly acquired definition of 'Religious Magisteria'.
‘The Religious Magisteria contains everything not empirically measurable, which does not interact with the Scientific Magisteria at any level’

The announcement of a complete absence of interaction between the two Magisteria, was initially greeted with enthusiasm by many religious scientists - although the reaction was cut short when some awkward implications of this model was pointed out.

In related news the Templeton foundation has today announced their support for an entirely new project, this time in search of the ‘Slightly Overlapping Magisteria’.
