Naturalism Explained

Here's a brief description, a paraphrased version of The Center for Naturalism's Statement On Naturalism:

Naturalism is the view that nature exists as a single domain or substance, without resort to obscure notions of the supernatural. While open to all logical possibilities and the many surprises the universe has for us, naturalism is supported by evidence, ongoing empirical observations and common experience. It recognizes that we as humans are fully connected to the rest of the natural world, that we are, on many levels, caused by perceptible and logical natural forces, and through that insight, we are empowered while encouraging the realization of compassion and humility.

Political Update

Here's an article in the Washington Post on Santorum's Opus Dei connections. I can just imagine a President Santorum press conference, "Mr President, are you going to renounce the use of torture, including on yourself?"

Not to worry though, "Frothy" will probably take a good whipping at the primaries before that happens.


And in a sign that the end is nigh for his campaign, Santorum bubbled over on camera.
