Hu Tieu Nam Vang (Phnom Penh Noodle Soup) Recipe
Compared to pho from the North, or bun bo Hue from the central region, hu tieu can be downright confusing because there are many versions of it. At its core, hu tieu (pronounced "hoo tee-u") signals a Chinese-Southeast Asian style noodle soup made with a pork bone broth and no fish sauce. But that's where simplicity ends. The noodles in a bowl of hu tieu can be chewy clear tapioca noodles, opaque white rice noodles like you'd use for pho noodle soup, or thin Chinese egg noodles (mi). The toppings cover a wide territory, and may include boneless pork, pork ribs, pork offal, shrimp, squid, wonton dumplings, fried garlic, fried shallot, and/or scallion. As usual, you pick and choose whatever you want. Hu tieu is the extreme have-it-your-way Vietnamese food experience. I've seen a 'dry' version too but have never tried it.
Given all the variations, locking down a classic approach to hu tieu is difficult. There isn't one prevailing concept. Yep, Vietnamese cooking can be downright confusing. In fact, check this extensive Noodlepie blog posting on hu tieu noodle soup. If you read Vietnamese, peruse this hu tieu My Tho page on the Thanh Nien website. Note that they call out three versions of hu tieu -- hu tieu Nam Vang, hu tieu Tau (Chinese hu tieu) and hu tieu My Tho (from My Tho, the capital of Tien Giang province in the Mekong Delta that's famous for their rendition).
For me, the definitive bowl of hu tieu noodle soup is hu tieu Nam Vang. The Phnom Penh version that I was introduced to as a kid by our family friend Uncle Su, a wonderful Chinese-Vietnamese cook, has a deep, umami-filled broth made of pork bones, dried squid and dried shrimp. There's a touch of golden rock sugar to give it sweetness and to round out the flavors. The toppings are similarly a surf-and-turf combination of cooked pork, sliced pork liver, poached shrimp, sautéed ground pork, fried garlic and caramelized shallot. But wait, there's more! The essential garnishes are important here. Delectable hu tieu needs lots of pungent Chinese celery and Chinese chives (flat chives that have a slight garlicky bite); lettuce is also a common garnish but not my favorite for this noodle soup because there's enough to distract already and it doesn't add much.
However, I'm a freak for the Chinese celery (can Tau), which pops its intense raw flavor in the soup. (Chinese celery looks like gigantic Italian parsley but tastes like strong celery.) When it's not readily available or not looking good at the Asian market, I substitute leafy celery tops, which is much stronger tasting than the fat ribs below. Most grocery stores have already trimmed that 'unwanted' portion of the celery plant, so hunt down a nice deep green bunch of celery at the farmers' market. Celery tops can be tough so you may have to halve them lengthwise. In the bowl above, I used celery tops.
I also love using the chewy tapioca noodles for hu tieu. They're fat, chewy, and fun to slurp on. To find them, you'll have to head to a Vietnamese grocery store and look for packages of "Hu Tieu Dai" (chewy hu tieu noodles); despite what the label says, there's no rice in the noodles, but rather tapioca. These noodles are not commonly stocked at Chinese markets. On the other hand, a medium-width flat rice noodle that's like a fettucine or what you'd use for pad Thai works just fine.
There are many steps here so take your time and know that one batch feeds many people. If you're hoarding it all to yourself, you can dole the bowls out over the course of 4 or 5 days. Just refrigerate the broth and toppings. Of course, you may also freeze the broth and meat toppings too.
For the squid and shrimp, head to a Chinese or Vietnamese market and check the refrigerated section for the dried shrimp. Dried squid, sold whole in plastic packages, is often near the dried mushroom, snacks, or dried shrimp.
Hủ Tiếu Nam Vang
Phnom Penh Noodle Soup with Pork, Shrimp, Garlic and Shallot
Makes 8 bowls
- 6 pounds pork bones (neck, spine, or leg), in 2-inch pieces
- 5 quarts water
- 3 medium dried squid (2 ounces total), quickly rinsed
- 1/3 cup dried shrimp
- 1 large yellow onion, peeled and quartered
- 1-inch chunk golden rock sugar (about 1 ounce)
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 1/4 pounds pork loin, skin-on leg, or boneless shoulder, 2 by 4-inch pieces
- ¾ to 1 pound pork liver
- 1/3 cup Crispy Caramelized Shallot (reserve the cooking oil for cooking the garlic) : "hành phi"
- Canola or other neutral oil
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
- ½ pound ground pork, roughly chopped to loosen
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, plus extra for garnish
- Cooked pork from the broth simmering
- 1 ½ to 2 pounds dried tapioca stick noodles or dried fettucine-size flat rice noodles (bánh pho), cooked in boiling water until al dente (5 to 7 minutes for the tapioca; 3 to 4 minutes for the rice noodles), drained, and flushed with cold water (keep tapioca stick noodles in a bowl of water to prevent sticking)
- 16 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ small bunch Chinese chives, cut into 1 ½-inch-long pieces (1 cup total)
- 1 small bunch Chinese celery, trimmed and cut into 1 ½-inch-long pieces (2 cups total)
- 2 cups bean sprouts (about 1/3 pound), picked over, washed, and drained well
- 2 or 3 hot Thai or serrano chiles, thinly sliced
- 2 or 3 limes, cut into wedges
1. In a stockpot (about 12-quart capacity) over high heat, bring the bones and water to a boil. Use a large spoon or ladle to skim any scum that rises to the top. Add the remaining ingredients. Once the broth returns to a boil, lower the heat to simmer for 1 hour.
At this point, the boneless pork meat should be slightly chewy but not tough. Press it and it should feel like the flesh at the base of your thumb. When it's cooked to your liking, use tongs to transfer it to a bowl of cold water. Let the meat soak for 10 minutes to prevent it from drying up and turning dark. Drain the meat and let it cool before refrigerating. Throughout this time, the broth should have continued to simmer. In total, the broth should simmer for 2 hours before it's done.
2. Strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer (or a coarse mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth) positioned over a large saucepan.
3. Use a ladle to skim as much fat from the top of the broth as you like. (Cool it and then refrigerate overnight to make this task easier; reheat before continuing.) Taste and adjust the flavor with additional salt and rock sugar. The broth should taste slightly too strong because the noodles and other ingredients are not salted. (Dilute with water if you've gone too far.) There should be about 4 quarts.
Prepare the toppings
4. While the broth simmers, poach the liver. Fill a saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the liver and lower the heat to gently simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the liver feels firm, like the flesh at the base of your thumb. Remove from the water and put in a bowl of water for 10 minutes to prevent it from drying up and turning dark. Drain the liver and store with the cooked beef.
5. Prepare the Crispy Caramelized Shallots if you haven't already, reserving the cooking oil in the skillet. Add extra oil so that there's about 3 tablespoons total. Heat over medium-low heat and add the garlic. Gently sauté, stirring frequently, until golden. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to a ramekin or small bowl. Set aside to cool.
6. There should be a good 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet. If not, add a little extra. Heat over medium heat and add the pork, salt and pepper, stirring to break the pork up into small pieces. Cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. Transfer to a ramekin or small bowl. Set aside to cool. All of these toppings may be prepared in advance and refrigerated. Return to room temperature before assembling the bowls.
Assemble the bowls
7. Cut the pork and liver into thin slices, about 1/16 thick. For the best results, make sure they are cold. Have ready the shallot, garlic, ground pork, noodles, and shrimp for assembling the bowls. Arrange the garnishes on a plate or put them in small dishes and put on the table.
8. To ensure good timing, bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat while you are assembling the bowls. Add the shrimp and poach them for about 2 minutes, or until they have curled and turned orange. Remove from the broth and set aside.
9. At the same time, fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil. For each bowl, place a portion of the noodles on a vertical-handle strainer (or mesh sieve) and dunk the noodles in the boiling water. As soon as they have collapsed and lost their stiffness (10 to 20 seconds), pull the strainer from the water, letting the water drain back into the pot. Empty the noodles into a bowl.
10. Top each bowl with sliced pork, liver and 2 shrimp. In the center add some cooked ground pork, fried garlic, and crispy caramelized shallot. Finish with a sprinkling of black pepper.
11. Raise the heat and bring the broth to a rolling boil. Do a final tasting and make any last-minute flavor adjustments. Ladle about 2 cups broth into each bowl, distributing the hot liquid evenly to warm all the ingredients. Serve immediately with the garnishes.

A bungled upgrade at UK payment processing firm Protx left thousands of online merchants unable to take payments on Wednesday.
Reg readers reported that they've being unable to process payments since 0600 BST at a result of the SNAFU. Two report being unable to reach the firm by either phone or email in an attempt to resolve the problem.
"Protx have attempted to roll out their update today with disastrous effect – they've been down since 6am this morning and we're unable to process any payments, along with lots of other people," reports Reg reader James.
He's far from alone. A thread on the Protx support forum on the issue features more than 300 comments, many from users frustrated about the outage. Reg reader Gareth criticised the handling of the upgrade as "shambolic". The delayed upgrade - originally due to be applied in June - involves changes in the processing of Maestro cards, and a new system for handling delayed settlement of transactions.
Reg reader Paul was among those caught out by Wednesday's outage: "We are unable to process orders and this is costing us thousands in revenue. "Protx have turned off their support phone lines," he added.
Reg reader Garry said that he warned Protx of potential problems with the upgrade on Tuesday - before it went live.
"They should have known this before, because I'd already told them yesterday that our testing of the new system had shown it to be faulty, but they didn't bother to reply," he said.
"I contacted my merchant provider, Barclays, who incredibly haven't been able to get a reply from Protx themselves either, and are very angry about it, as everyone is complaining to them. There is no mention of the fault on the Protx website, they don't reply to emails, and calls just stay forever in a queue."
The firm is yet to respond to our repeated requests for commen. Although the firm told the BBC that its service was back online by 1430 BST a number of users are continuing to experience problems, according to emails from Reg readers and comments on its forums.
Protx, a Sage subsidiary that's one of the largest payment service in the UK, processes credit and debit card payments for more than 10,000 online and mail order businesses.

Article Marketing Using TextSuite - The Art of Successful Article Marketing
If you want to profit sooner rather than later on seasonal niches you need to start at least one season before the busy season. So if you want to target a summer niche in the U.S., you're probably not going to gain notable results this summer (summer is currently in full swing). But if you want to go after a fall or winter niche, now is the time to ramp things up!
Today I'd like to help you do just that! I've been in the lab for the past several months working day and night on a brand new SEO tool-set (I'll be revealing this tool very soon). Using one of the powerful tools I quickly and easily generated 248 fall/winter keywords worth an estimated total of $478,000.00 to those ranking for them! These keywords have a combined 459,000 monthly searches!
How to Do TextSuite Powered Content Marketing From an SEO Perspective
I am about to spill the beans to let you all know the real truths behind article marketing.,p.How effective article marketing is - if at all?
And the do's and don'ts of article marketing.
A general definition of article marketing would be where you create an article on a topic that is related to your website, and publish that article.The article is not about promoting your website as such - hard to understand maybe, but you are trying to capture the reader!
Always remember to use effective keywords and phrases that relate to your topic.
In the author bio section you will need to put in a brief description about yourself along with a link back to your website, whether it be the home page or some other page on your site.
The whole idea here is for your article to get seen online and for other webmasters to republish your article on other sites - thus giving rise to links and traffic.OK - so let's go through the facts and the myths of article writing -
Nonsense: writing an article doesn't really do much for your online business.
A Fact: article marketing can help you increase your link popularity and can be a great source of some of the most targeted traffic you can get.
Nonsense: rehashed or reprinted articles will only get indexed as extra or add on pages and therefore this way of doing things doesn't really help at all.
A Fact: this is incorrect as depending on exactly where the article gets submitted to, is what matters. The article can get listed in the top 10 and not as a supplemental page.
Nonsense: Pushing out your article all over the internet creates duplicate content and you will be punished by the search engines.
A Fact: If search engines punished you and duplicate content was a big no - than all RSS feeds would cause sheer mayhem. Just take a look at the New York Times for example and see how many people link up via RSS feed or attach an article to their blog!
Nonsense: The only way to get article writing to work for you is to write an article and to send it to hundreds of article websites.
A Fact: There is more than one way to skin a cat! If you are looking for loads of links to your site than fair enough - use the way just mentioned.
However another way is to ask bespoke article websites or directories to accept your article - they will take it, so long as it is relevant and is a niche article. This is probably harder work but the results can be a lot more rewarding. And you will land up getting better and more targeted traffic.
And let's not also forget that posting your article on your own website is also a great way to add fresh content and if the article is well written than people will link directly to the article thus increasing both the traffic to your site and the PR of your site.
Nonsense: Always make sure that you post your article to your website site, wait for the spiders to crawl your site, wait for the page to be indexed, and then submit the article elsewhere.
A Fact: When you add an article to your website it is called adding content, however when you submit articles to other sites, it is called article marketing, and with article marketing you don't want the article to get indexed on your site first.
Confused about what I just said?
Well just remember - don't confuse adding content with article marketing as they are two separate exercises.
By submitting articles to other sites and by the search engines finding these articles will help you and your website.
If the websites that you have submitted your article to are getting indexed well, you will stand a good chance of getting seen and high up in the rankings.
Hopefully you will now have a better understanding as to how exactly article marketing works and what is required for effective article marketing.
How to Use ArticleBuilder.net to Create Easy, Profitable Sites Quickly!
When you're into article marketing, it's necessary for you to know the basics, but it shouldn't stop at that. You need to figure out how to have an edge over other online entrepreneurs who are also trying their hand at the field. Below are surefire tips for you to step your article marketing tactics up a notch.
Using less used keywords
While a lot of people who are into article marketing are looking for the most popular keywords, there's actually another way for you to get high search engine rankings. You can also sprinkle not-to-popular keywords into your article whenever you can. This way, when the researcher decides to punch in a less popular keyword on the search engine query box, you're sure to be on one of the top spots on the list.
Informative content
Some people put too much premium on keyword density that they forget to write highly informative articles. The fact is that when your articles are gauged as more useful by actual human visitors, you're bound to get high rankings for a longer period of time. Never put up fluffy articles on your website just for the sake of attracting search engine crawlers. Always keep your articles straight to the point, meaty, and concise. Nobody wants to go over large chunks of words that are meaningless.
Aside from catchy titles, you should also consider putting subtitles if you publish a lengthy article online. This will help the online reader scan for the details they actually need from your article. It's also more visually pleasing to look at small paragraphs compared to huge, eye-straining text blocks on the screen.
Right tone
Be very conversational when you're writing content for the internet. You wouldn't want to cater only to a limited audience when you're writing for the big cyberspace. Consider the fact that you're writing for a global market whose first language isn't always necessarily the one you're using right now. If you want to be understood by more people, you need to learn how to be accessible.

Ever thought about sitting down to a succulent dinner of steak, fries and cotton? Few have, but edible cotton may be on the horizon, significantly increasing the overall value of a cotton plant and a cotton crop.
The price of cotton is good today, but growers remember recent times when the prospect of planting a crop wasn't so rosy. If edible cotton can increase the value of cotton as livestock feed, or more dramatically for human use, price stability and rural economic growth could be beneficial to farmers and rural economies across the Cotton Belt.
Janet Reed, with Cotton Incorporated, says edible cotton isn't so far-fetched and may be much more versatile than most believe as a food product. Once gossypol is removed from the seed of cotton, it can be safely eaten by humans and livestock.
Speaking at a recent North Carolina agriculture and biotechnology meeting, Reed says, cotton seed — the bioengineered kernels — can be roasted and salted. Researchers also are looking at ways of using cottonseed in combination with wheat and corn flours to enrich the protein content of these products.
Though cottonseed containing gossypol for human consumption has some potentially dangerous possibilities, few doubt these seeds are packed with protein and potentially a source of feeding millions of people worldwide.
Reed says current cotton production would provide enough cottonseed to provide the daily protein needs of more than 500 million people worldwide. That potential is somewhere in the future. Currently, researchers are developing enough plants to grow edible cotton in field testing.
For a world population that is expected to top 8.5 billion within the next decade and a half, any hope of low-cost, plentiful protein is reason to be optimistic. The demand by growing middle classes in developing countries for meat products is another reason to push development of cottonseed edible to a wider range of livestock animals.
By reducing the gossypol content of cottonseed, via biotechnology, it is feasible that cottonseed usage as livestock feed could be significantly expanded and possibly put cottonseed on the menu for human consumption.
Gossypol is a commonly occurring chemical in cotton. It has developed over time as a defense mechanism that helps the cotton plant survive a multitude of production challenges.
Gossypol, which primarily protects cotton from insect damage, is a toxin that can cause heart damage in livestock and potentially in humans. It accumulates in tiny pockets on cottonseed and leaves. Researchers have produced cotton without the pockets, technically glands, but insect damage has been too great to make these varieties practical for growers.
Common livestock feed component
The Southeast is a major producer of poultry, cattle and swine, but is a grain deficit region. Cottonseed is a common component of livestock feed, but the great fear is gossypol poisoning, which significantly restricts its use for animal feed.
Non-ruminant animals such as poultry and swine can't handle much gossypol before toxicity signs develop. This is why cottonseed meal can't be used at high levels in rations for those animals.
Cattle have the ability to detoxify gossypol because the microorganisms in the rumen bind it so it can't be absorbed. This ability can be overcome at very high levels of cottonseed feeding, but cattle will not normally be affected at recommended feeding levels.
Gossypol can cause a temporary reduction in sperm cell formation in bulls when fed above the recommended level. Some research has indicated fertility problems, but some experiments have not been able to show any problems. The importance of bull fertility to overall beef cattle profits and loss has caused most producers to avoid using gossypol-containing feed.
Gossypol has been looked at in recent years more for its medicinal value in humans than for it culinary promise. It has been used experimentally as a male contraceptive in China and is known to have anti-malarial properties. Researchers in recent years have looked at gossypol as a cancer treatment.
The concept of cottonseed for human consumption isn't brand new. Texas A&M University Scientist Keerti Rathore, found a way to remove gossypol from cotton without removing its protective properties against insects for the cotton plant back in 2006. The prospect of a relatively inexpensive and plentiful source of protein to feed people worldwide has captured the attention of other scientists.
"There are a lot of poor people who cannot afford diets that contain a reasonable amount of protein. It will be nice to be able to utilize this source," Rathore says.
The Texas A&M researcher admits to trying a few gossypol-free cottonseed. "Not bad, he says, taste a little like chickpeas with a slightly nutty flavor."
Rathore says the kernel of the non-toxic cotton seed can be roasted and salted and used as a snack food or in salads. He says the kernel can also been ground into flour and combined with wheat and corn flours to enrich them with protein.
Danny Llewellyn, an Australian scientist, has worked for a number of years to perfect cotton varieties that produce cottonseed free of gossypol. He says his research will allow cottonseed to be used more widely as an animal feed and extend its uses as a substitute for other high-value oils, like canola (rapeseed) oil, providing low cost protein on a global basis.
By adding the edible factor, as either a human or animal food source, cotton can be become a much more valuable commodity for rural economies. The expected re-emergence of King Cotton in the Southeast is expected to raise economic hopes in small towns from southeast Virginia to the Florida Panhandle.
Reed stresses that Cotton Inc. is seeking multiple ways to enhance the value of the entire cotton plant, all of which could add significantly to stability of rural economies across the Cotton Belt.

You've heard of flops, a.k.a floating point operations per second, before in video game circles. Who can forget the riveting moment in former Sony exec Ken Kutaragi's 2005 E3 PS3 presentation when he talked about how many gigaflops the system's processors would be capable of? Boring tech presentations aside, flops are great indicators of computing power. Today's consoles sit in the gigaflop range but, according to Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, they'll get exponentially more powerful in less than a decade.
PCWorld has the exec saying speeds of 41.5 teraflops will be attainable by 2019. Today, it takes a specially built, energy-intensive supercomputer to achieve that but these proposed future machines will run off standard 100-watt power grid. What does that mean in terms of performance? Well, real-time graphics in future consoles will look as good as the best pre-rendered cutscenes in today's games. And that's just for starters. So, 2019 can't get here soon enough.

A Gastonia man was sentenced to more than a decade in prison Monday for assaulting a security guard last year at the local U.S. Social Security Administration office.
Charlie Wayne Bryant, 47, was ordered by U.S. District Judge Max Cogburn Jr. to serve 10 years and eight months in prison. The incident occurred in February 2011 and Bryant pleaded guilty the following December to one count of assaulting, resisting or impeding an officer or employee of the United States.
The sentence was handed down in Charlotte.
Bryant was at the Gastonia branch of the Social Security Administration, at 609 Cotton Blossom Circle, on Feb. 8, 2011, according to filed court documents. Witnesses testified at Monday�s sentencing hearing that he became disruptive that day and punched a security officer in the mouth. A struggle ensued, and Bryant continued to resist until Gastonia police officers arrived, according to court records.
The security officer sustained a bodily injury as a result of the assault and was treated at Gaston Memorial Hospital. In issuing the sentence Monday, Judge Cogburn stated that Bryant�s actions represented �a serious offense.�
A federal grand jury in Charlotte indicted Bryant with the charge in March 2011, prior to him pleading guilty.
Bryant has been in local federal custody in the Western District of North Carolina since his arrest in April 2011. Upon designation of a federal facility, he will be transferred to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Federal sentences are served without the possibility of parole.
The investigation was handled by the Department of Homeland Security, National Protection and Programs Directorate, Federal Protective Service with the assistance of the SSA-OIG. The prosecution for the government was handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Lynn Dillon of the U.S. Attorney�s Office in Charlotte.

Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney: Mr. Pragmatic Goes (Back) to Washington
On January 3, 2013, the Hudson Valley's Sean Patrick Maloney became the first openly gay congressman from New York State. But he's been too busy to pay his own pioneering any mind
Photograph by Michael Polito
(page 1 of 6)
On the 92nd day of his first term, Sean Patrick Maloney wakes up in his home in Cold Spring, lifts weights, eats a bowl of cereal, drinks a cup of coffee, chats with his two daughters — the 12-year-old is going out for the middle school track team; the 10-year-old is big into rugby right now — catches up on the news, and receives a death threat.
Well, if you can even call it that, because if it is, it's surely the laziest death threat ever recorded. The tiny extremist Westboro Baptist Church out in Topeka, Kansas, has Tweeted him a link. It takes you to a flyer, demanding that the federal government impose the death penalty on all homosexuals and execute Maloney and three of the other seven openly gay members in the two houses of U.S. Congress — only in much coarser language.
Maloney, a Democrat, is no activist and no crusader. So he reports the incident to the Capitol Police and gets on with his workday. He isn't the outspoken Harvey Milk (the first openly gay person elected to public office in California in the 1970s). Maloney ran for public office as a gay man but not as The Gay Man. He's proud of who he is, proud of the three children he adopted with his longtime partner, Randy Florke. He doesn't run away from being gay, but it isn't the point of his political career either. And there isn't any time to lose. This summer, some 2,000 civilian employees at the United States Military Academy at West Point will receive notice that they'll be furloughed for one day a week. They'll effectively lose a fifth of their income until September because of the sequester, the automatic budget cuts the previous session of Congress imposed on itself as punishment for not passing a budget. Maloney would rather focus on these types of issues. "There are going to be people out there who engage in this kind of hate," he says. "You can tie yourself in knots worrying about stuff like that." So he doesn't.
"They will lose over time, they always do," Maloney says. "And the best way to defeat that kind of hate-based agenda is to be effective in the job and to demonstrate that, despite our diversity, we all believe in basically the same things. It's not going to affect anything I do. I don't think you can do this job in some defensive crouch."
On this frosty April morning he gets on the 7:58 a.m. train to Croton-on-Hudson, but not until he's shaken some hands on the platform — "Can I say hi? I'm Sean Maloney, a member of Congress." He settles into a seat and toggles through briefs on his iPad, from which he never strays very far. He tries to keep reading up on the never-ending deluge of information on the politicking and demagoguery and horse-trading in Washington to a minimum. "You can spend your whole day running around and being busy and get nothing done," Maloney explains. "So we focus on doable stuff."
Doable stuff. That might as well be the motto for Maloney's administration. Realism — a singular pragmatism. He doesn't grandstand about mucking out Washington. He doesn't want to over-promise and under-deliver; he's a freshman in the minority party, after all. "I'm focused on working around the edges and making your taxes work for you in some tangible way," he says. "Hitting singles and doubles." He is well-versed in sports metaphors, like all successful politicians. He looks the part, too: tall; in shape; with a long, symmetrical face, neat silvery hair, and blue eyes. He wears a well-tailored navy blue suit; a light blue shirt; and a red, white, and blue checked tie. He gets animated talking about the sequester. Other passengers shoot us looks. "It's just dumb," he says. "There are far better ways to reduce your spending than to arbitrarily go after things that are already cut or underfunded. But dumb ideas pass for normal in Washington sometimes."

Mass. projects are among 255 projects in 48 states
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today announced $36.5 million in federal funding for Massachusetts to replace aging buses and transit facilities that will improve service for thousands of people who take public transit every day. The three projects are among 255 projects in 48 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico selected to receive a share of $787 million in funding.
"President Obama's support for an America built to last is putting people back to work across the country, including here in Massachusetts, modernizing our nation's roads, rails, bridges, and public transit systems," said Secretary LaHood. "By investing in the transit infrastructure people depend on to get where they need to go each day, we will keep our economy moving forward well into the future."
Secretary LaHood was in Springfield today to announce one of the projects, a $17.6 million grant to help the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority replace the century-old Union Station in downtown Springfield. The new facility will offer a single convenient location to board local and intercity bus and rail service. The Secretary was joined at the event by Massachusetts Congressman Richard Neal and other state and local officials.
"These funds will go a long way to make transportation easier, more convenient, and more efficient for travelers in New England, with convenient access to Bradley International Airport and enhanced rail service to Boston," said Federal Transit Administrator Peter Rogoff.
A map of this year's projects, along with a searchable table, can be found here: http://www.fta.dot.gov/about/12322_14741.html
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) also announced funding for two additional Massachusetts projects:
- Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority: $15 million to replace aging buses with new energy-efficient vehicles which will reduce emissions, lower operating costs, and better meet the needs of Boston-area commuters.
- Pioneer Valley Transit Authority: $3.96 million to replace a century-old operations and maintenance facility in downtown Springfield with a new, more efficient facility that will be better equipped to repair and maintain a growing fleet of buses.
Generally, a transit authority with a fleet of about 20 buses that upgrades from standard diesel to hybrid-electric power can expect to save roughly $200,000 in fuel costs over a year.
The funds are provided through FTA's FY2012 State of Good Repair and Bus Livability programs. The selection process was highly competitive, with FTA receiving 836 project applications representing $4 billion in funding requests from transit providers. In FY2010 and FY2011, FTA awarded a total of more than $1.8 billion in grants for hundreds of state of good repair projects, primarily involving buses and bus facilities.

Book Two: Scientists of Faith 2/2
Modern Scientists of Faith
Great strides were made in science in the 20th century, and many discoveries, which had remained unknown for years, were unfurled. The progress science has made has demonstrated one fact clearly: The fact of creation.
Each scientific discovery points to a perfect design, order, and plan, in every part of nature, living or non-living. Themselves testifying to this truth, many scientists have seen that the design of the entire universe is the work of a superior Wisdom, and have gone on to defend the fact of creation, recognizing that everything has been created by the Almighty God.
Today, there are many respected academic organizations in the West, particularly in the USA, which have been established by believing scientists. These institutions work to make clear that scientific evidence confirms the perfect design of the universe.
Some of the scientists of faith of today, who are recognized for their scientific achievements, are as follows:
Dr. Henry Fritz Schaefer
Dr. Fritz Schaefer is the Graham Perdue Professor of Chemistry, and the director of the Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry, at the University of Georgia. He has been nominated for the Nobel Prize, and was recently cited as the third most quoted chemist in the world. Schaefer, a believing scientist, aspires to better know God through his scientific pursuits. As he puts it:
The significance and joy in my science comes in the occasional moments of discovering something new and saying to myself, 'So that's how God did it!'129
Isaac Bashevis Singer
"Every watch certainly has a watchmaker."
Isaac B. Singer
One of the most noted physicists of our day, Singer, rejects the theory of evolution and believes in God. At a conference, he criticized the theory of evolution with an interesting story: "Scientists discovered a deserted island. The scientists who stepped on the island were very impressed by what they saw there. They were fascinated by the jungles and wild animals. They climbed steep hills and examined their surroundings. They could not find the smallest sign of civilization in the island. Just when they were returning to their ship, they found a brand new watch on the beach. It was working perfectly. This was quite intriguing for the scientists. How did this watch come here? They knew for certain that no one had ever set foot on the island before them. So, there was only one other possibility. This watch, with its well crafted leather belt, glass, battery and other parts, came to this island by chance and settled on the beach. There is no other alternative." To explain the delusion of evolutionists, Singer ended his story in these words: "Every watch certainly has a watchmaker."130
Everything in the universe, living or non-living, possesses a superior design and perfect order. Therefore, none can be attributed to chance. It is obvious that each is the handiwork of a supreme and almighty Creator. The majority of modern scientists, like Singer, make light of that perfection and order, to demonstrate to all that it is the work of God.
Malcolm Duncan Winter, Jr.
Prof. Winter, who received his M.D. in medicine from the Northwestern University Medical School, also believes that the universe and human beings were created by a superior Creator. He elaborated his views in his writings:
Earth and the universe with all their complexities, life in its various forms, and finally man himself with his superior thinking ability are all too intricate to have just happened. Therefore there has to be a Master Mind, a Creator, behind it all. There must be a God.131
William Phillips
Phillips, who earned the Nobel Prize as early as before his 50th birthday, for the development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light, is a believing scientist. At a press conference following the announcement of his winning of the Nobel Prize, he noted:
God has given us an incredibly fascinating world to live in and explore.132
Prof. Dale Swartzendruber
A person who sees a sown cornfield does not doubt the existence of a farmer who cultivated the corn. Prof.Dale Swartzendruber says that there is a great purpose and plan in the universe, and denying the existence of a Creator, who devised this purpose and plan, would be far more nonsensical than denying the existence of the farmer in the above example.
Prof. Swartzendruber, who first worked as an assistant soil scientist at the University of California, and then as an associate professor of soils at Purdue University, is also a member of Soil Science Society of America. Prof. Swartzendruber indicated, by the statement below, that the universe could not have formed by chance, and that it is the work of a Creator:
As a matter of fact, there is teleology, purpose, design "all over the place". One cannot escape it, in the heavens above or on the earth below. To deny a Great Designer is quite as illogical as to admire a magnificent field of yellow, waving grain and at the same time to deny the existence of the farmer in the farmhouse by the roadside.133
William Dembski
William Dembski
The area of research pursued by Dembski, one of the leading mathematical scientists of our day, covers a wide range of disciplines, from philosophy to theology. Dembski underscores that science is an attempt to understand the world, and scientists are but discoverers in this pursuit. He presents some of his views in this way:
The world is God's creation, and scientists in understanding the world are simply retracing God's thoughts. Scientists are not creators but discoverers… The important thing about the act of creation is that it reveals the creator. The act of creation always bears the signature of the creator.134
Prof. Meyer is a devout scientist who believes that the cell is too complicated to come about by chance.
Prof. Stephen Meyer
Meyer is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Whitworth College. He believes in creation and has produced a number of works on the subject. In many of his works, he argues that the universe is the product of an intelligent design, and that nature bears witness to that reality. In one of his articles, he refers to the design in the cell and says:
I argue that neither chance, nor "pre-biotic natural selection," nor physical-chemical "necessity" (in whatever theoretical guise) can explain the origin of information in the first cell.135
Walter Bradley
Prof. Walter L. Bradley
Walter Bradley, who is currently a professor in the department of mechanical engineering at Texas A&M University, is the author of The Mystery of Life's Origin. He believes that the cosmos and all living and non-living things are the result of a design, and that evidence for this proliferates everywhere. Bradley's words convey his belief in the existence of a Creator:
In the spring of 1987, I agreed to give a presentation on Christianity and science at Cornell University. I decided to experiment with a broad, popular level treatment of Scientific Evidence for the Existence of God…. It is abundantly clear evidence abounds for the existence of an intelligent creator.136
Earl Chester Rex
Prof. Rex served as a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Southern California and then as an associate professor of physics at George Pepperdine College. Believing that the whole universe was created by God, and that it is under God's control, Prof. Rex remarked that any present theory of the origin and maintenance of the universe which ignores or denies Creation either doesn't explain all the pertinent facts or else becomes hopelessly involved and obscured.137
Dr. Allan Sandage
Dr. Allan Sandage, one of the most distinguished astronomers of our day, chose to accept God at age 50. In an interview published in Newsweek magazine, which went by the title "Science Finds God", as its cover story, Sandage explained why he accepted religion:
It was my science that drove me to the conclusion that the world is much more complicated than can be explained by science. It is only through the supernatural that I can understand the mystery of existence.138
Prof. Cecil Boyce Hamann
Hamann, a member of faculties of Greenville College, University of Kentucky and St. Louis University Medical School, currently teaches biology at the Asbury College. He is a scientist with a firm belief in God. Hamann expressed his belief in the following words:
Wherever I turn in the realm of science there is evidence of design, law and order – of a Supreme Being…. Yes, I believe in God. I believe in a God who is not only an all-powerful Deity who created and sustains this universe, but a God who is concerned about His crown of creation, man.139
Paul Ernest Adolph
Prof. Adolph, formerly an associate in anatomy at St. John's University, is a member of the Fellow of American College of Surgeons. He owes his firm faith to his scientific studies. Prof. Adolph once said of his faith:
… I would say that I definitely accept for myself the existence and reality of God. My conviction results not only from experiences of a spiritual nature, but medical practice has amply confirmed what I had accepted by faith…. Yes, indeed, there is a God!140
Lester John Zimmerman
Prof. Zimmerman, who received his Ph.D. from the Purdue University, and is professor of agriculture and mathematics at the Goshen College, discussed his faith in God in as such:
All Nature was originated by God, and He sustains it, incessantly. As I continue to study and observe the workings of Nature in soils and plants, my belief in God constantly increases, and I daily bow down before Him in wonderment and praise.141
Enrico Medi
Eminent Italian scientist, Enrico Medi, spoke of the miracles a scientist comes across, and about the conclusion he finally arrived at, at an international conference in Rome in 1971:
…there is a cause, outside of space, outside of time, the master of being, which made being to be in this way. And this is God...142
Wayne U. Ault
Prof. Ault earned a postgraduate degree from Columbia University, and was research fellow in Geochemical Laboratory, New York. Prof. Ault stated that scientific research enhances one's commitment to God:
The quest for knowledge and the inquisitiveness which asks the why and the how of Nature are part of the endowed traits of mind. Once the scientist has exercised faith in the Creator of the universe this faith can only grow as a result of studies in any direction.143
Prof. Michael P. Girouard
The poster of the Second International Conference named "The Collapse of the Theory of Evolution: The Fact of Creation" organized by the Science Research Foundation on July 5, 1998 in Istanbul.
Michael Girouard, a professor of biology at Southern Louisiana University, believes that life could not have come about by chance, and that the highly complex and perfect structure of proteins and the cell, the basic units of life, were created by God.
In a speech titled, "Is it Possible for Life to Emerge by Coincidences?", which he presented at the second international conference, named "The Collapse of the Theory of Evolution: The Fact of Creation", organized by the Science Research Foundation on July 5, 1998 in Istanbul, Prof. Girouard supported that opinion with scientific evidence, and ended his speech with the following words:
The makeup of living things is far more complicated than the results obtained in laboratory experiments. When we turn to the laws of chemistry and physics for an explanation, this is what we learn: There must definitely be an Intelligence, a Creator; a Creator who has ordered these laws. This is the most scientific explanation. The laws of physics and chemistry reveal to us in all certainty that the evolution and formation of living things from inanimate matter is impossible. In respect of these scientific findings, this not only bring an end to my speech, but also an end to evolution.144
Prof. Michael Girouard (far right) participated as a speaker at the international conference of "The Collapse of Evolution: The Fact of Creation", organized by the Science Research Foundation, in Istanbul.
Prof. Edward Boudreaux
Prof. Boudreaux offered a speech entitled "The Design in Chemistry", at the international conferences of "The Collapse of the Theory of Evolution: The Fact of Creation", organized in Istanbul and Ankara.
Dr. Edward Boudreaux, a professor of chemistry at the University of New Orleans, believes that chemical elements must have been deliberately arranged by God for life to be formed. Prof. Boudreaux said in his speech titled "The Design in Chemistry", which he offered at the second international conference, named "The Collapse of the Theory of Evolution: The Fact of Creation" organized in Istanbul, that "the world we live in, and its natural laws are very precisely set us by the Creator for the benefit of us, humans".145
World-renowned scientist Prof. Cumming is the member of the Institute for Creation Research in the USA.
Prof. Kenneth Cumming
Prof. Kenneth Cumming, a world-renowned scientist from the Institute for Creation Research in the USA, is an authority on biochemistry and paleontology. He stated that he is opposed to the theory of evolution and believes in the existence of God.
Complexity at all levels, is seen. Uniqueness at all levels. Whether it is cellular level, at the organ level, at the body level, at the system level, these complexities are apparent… Cells and bodies are wonderfully made. Within a wide range of living machines, these are complex associations of proteins, fats, they build and tear down the tissues as well as synthesize and burn food… They show very intricate design features.146
Carl Fliermans
Prof. Carl Fliermans
Prof. Fliermans, a scientist widely-recognized in the USA, is a professor of microbiology at Indiana University. He conducts research on "the neutralization of chemical wastes by bacteria" sponsored by the US Department of Defense. At the conference for "The Collapse of The Theory of Evolution: The Fact of Creation", which he attended in Istanbul, he refuted the evolutionary claims in the realm of biochemistry. In his speech, he stated his belief in God thus:
Modern biology proves that life forms did not come about by chance, which constitutes evidence for the superior creation by God.147
Prof. Menton is one of the renowned scientists who participated in the conference series organized by the Science Research Foundation in Turkey.
Prof. David Menton
Prof. David Menton, who affirmed his belief in God by saying "I've been examining the anatomies of living things for 30 years. Every time, I came across the reality of God's perfect creation."148
, is a professor of anatomy at the University of Washington.
Prof. John Morris
The famous geologist, Professor Morris, is the president of the Institute for Creation Research, which is the most prolific organization in the USA, formed by scientists defending creation. In a speech, Prof. Morris referred to his faith in God, and his belief that the theory of evolution has been refuted by science, in the following manner:
As do many noted and qualified scientists, we, as devout believers in God, believe that God is the Creator. It is God who rules over our lives and to whom we must turn. We owe our lives to Him and we are responsible for earning His good pleasure.149
Arthur Peacocke
Arthur Peacocke, whose primary scientific discipline was physical biochemistry, is director of the Ian Ramsey Centre at Oxford University. He proclaims his belief in God as such:
God creates and is present to each instant of the time of the created world; God transcends past and present time: God is eternal, in the sense that there is no time at which he did not exist nor will there be a future time at which he does not exist.150
Albert McCombs Winchester
Having completed his postgraduate studies at the University of Texas, Prof. Winchester served as a professor of biology at the Baylor University, and was president of the Florida Academy of Science. He maintained that scientific research fortifies his belief in God:
Today, I am happy to say, after many years of study and work in the fields of science, my faith in God, rather than being shaken, has become much stronger and acquired a firmer foundation than heretofore. Science brings about an insight into the majesty and omnipotence of the Supreme Being which grows stronger with each new discovery. 151
Mehdi Golshani
Physicist Mehdi Golshani, of Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, in an interview he gave to Newsweek, outlined his belief in God and that scientific research complements religion:
Natural phenomena are God's signs in the universe and studying them is almost a religious obligation. The Koran asks humans to "travel in the earth, then see how He initiated the creation." Research is a worship act, in that it reveals more of the wonders of God's creation.152
Prof. Edwin Fast
Having completed his postgraduate work at the University of Oklahoma, and having taught at the same university in the department of physics, Prof. Fast maintains that it is completely impossible for atoms, the building blocks of matter, to have come together spontaneously to form the entire universe and living things. He expressed his belief in creation in these words:
Regressing far enough one must finally reach the conclusion that the existence of "natural laws", which describe systematics in the universe, is evidence of an Intelligence who chose to establish the operation of the universe as we observe it... The Cause which created the particles logically also determined the properties they were to have.153
Charles H. Townes
Charles H. Townes
Townes, who discovered the principle behind the laser, conducts his studies at the University of Berkeley. Townes stated his belief in God in this way:
As a religious person, I strongly sense the presence and actions of a creative being far beyond myself and yet always personal and close by.154
John Polkinghorne
John Polkinghorne, who has had a distinguished career in particle physics at Cambridge University, made the following statement in an interview with Newsweek:
When you realize that the laws of nature must be incredibly finely tuned to produce the universe we see, that conspires to plant the idea that the universe did not just happen, but that there must be a purpose behind it…For me, the fundamental component of belief in God is that there is a mind and a purpose behind the universe.155
Hugh Ross
Hugh Ross, who holds a Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Toronto, is President of "Reasons to Believe", a creationist institute in the USA. He has written many works on the relationship between cosmology and creation. Some of these are: The Creator and the Cosmos, Creation and Time, and Beyond the Cosmos. Some of Ross' remarks about the creation of the universe by a Creator are as follows:
If time's beginning is concurrent with the beginning of the universe, as the space-time theorem says, then the cause of the universe must be some entity operating in a time dimension completely independent of and pre-existent to the time dimension of the cosmos. …It tells us that the Creator is transcendent, operating beyond the dimensional limits of the universe.156
An intelligent, transcendent Creator must have brought the universe into existence. An intelligent, transcendent Creator must have designed the universe. An intelligent, transcendent Creator must have designed planet Earth. An intelligent, transcendent Creator must have designed life.157
Duane Gish
Prof. Dr. Duane Gish
Duane Gish, who earned a Ph.D. in biochemistry from University of California, Berkeley, is a respected scientist known for his religious conviction and his fight against the theory of evolution. Gish gave speeches at numerous conferences about the invalidity of the theory of evolution, and he is one of the foremost creationist debaters in the world today.
Prof. Gish has participated three times as a speaker at the conferences titled "The Collapse of Evolution: The Fact of Creation", organized in 1998 in Turkey. Of the collapse of the theory of evolution, and his strong faith in creation, according to Gish:
The theory of evolution is in a desperate crisis. On the contrary, the idea of creationism is backed by sound evidence. Today, thousands of scientists find the idea of creation increasingly convincing.158
The Science Research Foundation organized international conferences titled "The Collapse of Evolution: The Fact of Creation", held on April 4, 1998, and July 5, 1998, in Istanbul, and on July 12, 1998, in Ankara. World-renowned and respected scientists of faith were invited to the conferences as speakers.
Dr. Pierre Gunnar Jerlstrom
Jerlstrom, who received his Ph.D. in molecular biology from Griffith University, conducted numerous studies in his field, and was honored with several scientific awards. Dr. Jelstrom's articles are published in various scientific magazines. He is also known for his belief in creation.
Dr. Stephen Grocott
Grocott has a Ph.D. from the University of Western Australia, in the field of organometallic chemistry of optically active metal complexes. He has worked for years as a research scientist in the field of alumina refining, environmental, analytical and industrial chemistry. He has published numerous papers in these fields. After many years as a passive evolutionist, he was stunned by the logic, completeness, and overwhelming mass of scientific evidence in support of Special Creation. Grocott is also a dynamic public speaker on this topic.
Dmitry Kouznetsov
The Russian scientist Kouznetsov remarks that a large number of scientists have come to believe in God and religion in the face of the scientific facts they have discovered. Kouznetsov is also an ardent debater with evolutionists.159
Dr. Emil Silvestru
Dr. Emil Silvestru has worked as an associate professor in Babes-Bolyai University, Romania. An internationally respected authority on the geology of caves, he has published numerous scientific papers in academic journals worldwide. He was until recently the head scientist at the world's first speleological institute (speleology = the study of caves), and is a creationist scientist.
Dr. Andre Eggen
Dr. André Eggen, who has conducted a great deal of research on animal genetics, has been working as a research scientist for the French government. Eggen believes in creation.
Dr. Ian Macreadie
Dr. Ian Macreadie is a molecular biologist who has done extensive research on molecular biology and microbiology. Author of more than 60 research papers, he is a Principal Research Scientist at the Biomolecular Research Institute of Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO).

Prof. Andrew Conway Ivy
One of the most famous physiology experts in the world, Andrew Ivy was the Head of the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology of Northwestern University Medical School between 1925-1946. Prof. Ivy was Vice President of the University of Illinois from 1946 to 1953, and then he served as a Distinguished Professor of Physiology and Head of the Department of Clinical Science, University of Illinois, College of Medicine, Chicago. When asked, "Is there a Creator who created the universe?", he replied, "Yes, I am as certain that there is a God as I am certain of anything", and went on to say:
Belief in the existence of God provides the only complete, ultimate and rational meaning to existence. Belief in God is the only ultimate reason for the absolute certainty that man is a person and something more than a parcel of matter and energy. Belief in God is the source and the ultimate basis of the most inspired conception of the human mind.160
Dr. Raymond Jones
Dr. Jones has served for years in highly respected scientific agency of Australia's government, the CSIRO. He is best known for solving the Leucaena problem, which has earned millions of dollars for the Australian farming industries. Jones is a creationist scientist.
Jules H. Poirier
Jules H. Poirier has worked for the U.S. Navy as a senior electronic design specialist engineer for high-powered defense and space projects. He studied electrical engineering, physics and mathematics at the University of California at Berkeley. During his professional career, Jules Poirier was responsible for many design solutions and innovations, which helped the U.S. defense forces and the space program. Discovering the superior feats of wisdom in animals, Poirier concluded that they must have been created by a Creator. He is the author of the book From Darkness to Light to Flight: Monarch - the Miracle Butterfly, where he elaborates on this issue.
Michael J. Behe
Michael Behe
Michael J. Behe is one of the most renowned scientists to believe that the cosmos and all living things are the work of an intelligent design. Behe is a professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. He has published numerous articles in well-known newspapers such as The New York Times and Boston Review. Behe is the author of Darwin's Black Box, which has proved that biologically the theory of evolution cannot be true, distributed in over 80 reprints worldwide.
Behe proves the invalidity of the theory of evolution with a concept he calls "irreducible complexity". According to this idea, many organs are composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning. For this reason, coincidental or gradual development is out of the question.
In Darwin's Black Box, Behe wrote:
They were designed not by the laws of nature, not by chance and necessity; rather; they were planned. The designer knew what the systems would look like when they were completed, then took steps to bring the systems about. Life on earth at its most fundamental level, in its most critical components, is the product of intelligent activity. The conclusion of intelligent design flows naturally from the data itself… Inferring that biochemical systems were designed by an intelligent agent is a humdrum process that requires no new principles of logic and science. It comes simply from the hard work that biochemistry has done over the past forty years, combined with consideration of the way in which we reach conclusions of design every day.161
Philip Johnson
Philip Johnson
Johnson, who has taught law in the University of California at Berkeley, has conducted extensive research on the ideological aspect of the theory of evolution. Johnson is the author of three books on this matter, titled Darwin on Trial, Reason in the Balance, and Objection Sustained, as well as two massive books on criminal law, and numerous articles. Johnson, known for his strong opposition to the theory of evolution, is also a scientist who believes in God. Johnson's belief and pursuit is apparent in these words:

Charles Birch
Charles Birch is professor emeritus at the University of Sydney, Australia. He is known for his firm faith in creation. He was awarded the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion in 1990. His faith finds expression in his below:
God as the source of all value was "nearer than hands and feet, closer than breathing. The experience of God was real… God is both cause in creating the world and effect in experiencing the world.163
S. Jocelyn Bell Burnell
S. Jocelyn Bell Burnell
Jocelyn Bell Burnell is a professor of physics at the Open University in England, and chairs the department. An astronomer, she is one of the discoverers of the spinning stars called pulsars. Burnell, who has strong faith in God, wrote:

Prof. Owen Gingerich
Owen Gingerich is a professor of astronomy and the history of science at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, Massachusetts. He has a deep faith in God, which he declared in these words:
I believe in God as the superintelligence who planned and guided the creation of the universe… I believe that the creation of humanity is a principal purpose of the universe and that humankind was created in the image of God, particularly with respect to consciousness, conscience, and the moral freedom to choose right and wrong.165
Prof. Carl Friedrich von Weizsacker
Weizsacker, physicist and philosopher, is a professor at the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft in Germany. He expressed his belief in God in the following manner:
On a beautiful starry night in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland I perceived two certainties: here God is present; and the stars are spheres of gas, as physics teaches us today.166
Prof. David Berlinski
David Berlinski, who received his Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton University, believes that living things did not evolve, but are the products of intelligent design. In his works, Berlinski often refers to God as the author of this design. The following quotes from Berlinski are examples of this:
The structures of life are complex, and complex structures get made in this, the purely human world, only by a process of deliberate design. An act of intelligence is required to bring even a thimble into being; why should the artifacts of life be different?167
Molecular biology has revealed that whatever else a living creature may be – God's creation.168
Prof. William Lane Craig
William Craig earned a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Birmingham, England, before earning a doctorate in theology, from the Ludwig Maximiliens Universitat-Munchen, West Germany. He believes that the universe was created by God for a special purpose. Craig's views are reflected in these remarks:
…the universe has a cause of its existence. In fact, I think that it can be plausibly argued that the cause of the universe must be a personal Creator. For how else could a temporal effect arise from an eternal cause?… We have seen on the basis of both philosophical argument and scientific confirmation that it is plausible that the universe began to exist. Given the intuitively obvious principle that whatever begins to exist has a cause of its existence, we have been led to conclude that the universe has a cause of its existence. On the basis of our argument, this cause would have to be uncaused, eternal, changeless, timeless, and immaterial. Moreover, it would have to be a personal agent who freely elects to create an effect in time. Therefore, on the basis of the kalam cosmological argument, I conclude that it is rational to believe that God exists.169
Indeed, given the truth of the maxim ex nihilo nihil fit (out of nothing comes nothing), the Big Bang requires a supernatural cause. Since the initial cosmological singularity represents the terminus of all space-time trajectories, there cannot be any physical cause of the Big Bang. Rather, the cause must transcend physical space and time: it must be independent of the universe, and unimaginably powerful. Moreover, this cause must be a personal being, endowed with free will. The cause of the origin of the universe must therefore be a personal Creator, who a finite time ago brought the universe into existence by his free agency.170
Dr. Kurt Wise
Paleontologist Dr. Kurt Wise, who is an Assistant Professor of Science at the Department of Mathematics and Natural Science of Bryan College, is known for his opposition to the theory of evolution and his firm faith in God. "Creation isn't a theory" he says. "The fact that God created the universe is not a theory - it's true."171
Sigrid Hartwig Scherer
Sigrid Hartwig-Scherer, who received his Ph.D. in physical anthropology from the University of Zurich, is the author of Ramapithecus-Vorfahr des Menschen? (Ramapithecus – Progenitor of Humans?) In her works, she demonstrates that the fossil record refutes the theory of evolution, and that apes are not the ancestors of humans. She feels that all creatures are the work of a Creator.
J.P. Moreland

He received his Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Chicago. He is one of the scientists who believe that life is the product of an intelligent design.
Prof. Jonathan Wells
Jonathan Wells
Jonathan Wells, Ph.D. in religious studies from Yale, and postdoctoral research biologist in the department of molecular and cell biology, at the University of California at Berkeley, is the author of Charles Hodge's Critique of Darwinism. Wells holds that the latest developments in science show that life is the work of design.
Dr. Don Batten
Don Batten has done extensive research in plant physiology and has won a number of academic rewards for his studies. He is also a scientist with a devout belief in God's existence. He has written a number of books and numerous articles about the signs of creation on Earth, in addition to his own field, which is plant physiology. He also toured the world offering lectures in which he explained God's signs to people in non-academic language. The Australian scientist conducted his first lecture tour in England in 1995.
Dr. John Baumgardner

Prof. Robert Matthews
A graduate in physics from Oxford University and a fellow of the Royal Statistical Society and Royal Astronomical Society, Robert Matthews described God's miracle of creation in his book published in 1992:
The whole process normally takes place in perfect harmony, producing a foetus, then a living baby, a child and finally an adult. Like so much in biology, the whole process is seemingly miraculous. How can such stunning complexity be produced from such simple beginnings? How, in short, does a single cell far smaller than the dot of this letter "i" produce a sentient being? Many of the processes involved remain mysterious, and constitute one of the most fascinating of all the Outstanding Mysteries.172
Dr. Claude Tresmontant
Dr. Claude Tresmontant, of the University of Paris, in an interview in Realities magazine, described his faith in creation, and his belief that the Earth could not have come into being by chance:
No theory of chance can explain the creation of the world…It m>akes no sense to say that chance can account for the creation of being.173
Dr. Don Page
Don Page received his Ph.D. in physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1976, and has worked with noted scientists since then. Page believes that comprehending the universe helps in coming to an awareness of God's might and wisdom, though not sufficient to fully grasp it.

text: The documentary follows staff at the magazine and includes interviews with past publication cover stars as FHM prepares to circulate it's final issue. FHM magazine – famous for images of female celebrities and male-orientated lifestyle tips once commanded a circulation of over half a million copies but is now about to publish an issue for the final time. The documentary will take a nostalgic look back at the "glory years" of the magazine, of which Rachel was a huge part first gracing the cover in May 2000, with 7 more covers to follow, enjoying a top-three status in FHM's 100 Sexiest poll no fewer than four times, and most recently taking the title of "FHM's Sexiest of the Sexiest".
