15 Reasons Mister Rogers Was the Best Neighbor Ever

Even though I wasn't a big fan of Mister Rogers as a child, this article from Mental Floss really changed my mind about him.

Mister Rogers saved American public television?
He was an ordained minister? Who knew?

He's an easy target for derision from the cooler-than-you kids, but maybe those "boring" children's shows about respecting other people are better than the "exciting", violent 30-minute commercials that sell expensive toys.

The world will miss him.

The head of the Human Genome Project talks about his faith

Collins: Why this scientist believes in God - CNN.com

An intriguing editorial piece by the head of the Human Genome Project, Francis Collins, writes on CNN.com why he believes in God, and why it's not a contradiction to be a scientist and a Christian. He attributes his faith not to his upbringing, but to some experiences as a Grad student and reading CS Lewis' "Mere Christianity".

Interviews with Francis Collins are also available online from Salon and PBS Religion & Ethics.
