@qikipedia I think you mean "Biblical exegetes" posit that God made Eve from the baculum of Adam, because Biblically, Adam didn't make Eve.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

We may say prayers when we are trying to solve the problems we face, but it is up to us to put an end to violence and bring about peace. Creating peace is our responsibility. To pray for peace while still engaging in the causes that give rise to violence is contradictory.

Your annual reminder that #Halloween is, in fact, a Christian holiday.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Peace doesn’t come from prayer alone, it requires us to take action. Our goal should be a demilitarized world. #PeaceDayChallenge

Seriously, #UK? You DON'T want me to retire in you someday? Bad form, mates. Bad form. #Remain #ShouldHave

[Stephen D. Louy @StephenLouy]

As a former resident of the UK, I really hope they vote #Remain. I loved living there, partly because I could experience #EU easily/safely.

Encounter this all the time as a Biblical scholar: people believe incorrect things because they were told to. Well done @BadAstronomer.

[Stephen D. Louy @StephenLouy]

Best part of @BadAstronomer's @Slate article is noting that people often believe a distorted version of science they were taught by pastors.

[Stephen D. Louy @StephenLouy]

Fantastic article by @BadAstronomer - very insightful on the problem of Creationism engaging w/science. Via @Slate https://t.co/9ARZesiqzW
