Great quote about how we govern ourselves

I was listening to a Mars Hill Audio Audition podcast today. It was on the Supreme Court and how it has morphed during the 60s into a more activist body and under Roberts is moving more toward strict interpretation. They were discussing the purpose and nature of the constitution, law and the ability of man to self-govern. Michael Uhlman loosely quoted Edmund Burke,

Men are fitted for civil liberty in exact proportion of their ability to place chains upon their own appetites. The more order there is within the less will have to be imposed from without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that men of intemperate minds can not be free. Their passions form their fetters.

Great quote. I think all U.S. students should have to study, line by line, the founding documents of this country.

Does the cosmos reveal a creator?

A Physicist's Perspective writes about a lecture on "Does the cosmos reveal a creator?" I have not read the entire article yet but there appears to be a lot of detailed information regarding a scientifically-falsifiable intelligent design creation model.

Quote

One of my favorite quotes came from a talk I heard Jeantte Clift George give a few years ago. She was talking about the funny things we say to God.

God, this problem is so big, so awful... I don't know what to tell you to do about it.

I'm so glad he doesn't require me to come up with all the answers.
