Vol. 1 No. 6 - September 11, 2006

Today all the world will remember this day, five years ago. TART Remarks publishes two perspectives, from the Los Angeles Times, on life after 9/11. The first considers “vibrant prayer movements catalyzed by 9/11”; the other looks at how Muslim Americans portray their faith in public after 9/11.

Intelligent Design, that informal intellectual settlement haphazardly constructed of the flotsam of Creationism, has reared its ugly head in South Africa, and, especially, in the Afrikaans language. ID was dealt a mortal blow in South Africa this last week with the eminent Professor Emeritus Phillip V. Tobias distancing himself unequivocally from those parts of Die Groot Avontuur (a recent ID apology in Afrikaans) which support ID.

The social benefits of teaching evolution in schools are considered in a review of a recent paper published in the South African Journal of Science.

Two book reviews from The Guardian are included: Dying to Win: Why Suicide Terrorists Do It, by Robert A Pape, and Tim Willocks's fundamentalist bloodfest, The Religion.
