Default Interesting blog on Newsweek

Newsweek is hosting an "On Faith" group blog and Michael Otterson (Church spokesman) even has a handful of posts. One of them that stood out in particular was entitled "God is even Grander than Even Believers Know."

http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/o...hink.html#more

A couple of good quotes from this post:
"The universe is vaster, more intricate, more mind-boggling and complex and a more exciting place than is found in the confining strictures of biblical literalism that insist – quite unnecessarily - that the earth was created in six 24-hour days"

and

"Scientific breakthroughs and understanding can be seen either as a challenge to religious faith, or as yet another glimpse into the working of the mind of God and how He might have created the universe. I don’t expect we will find answers to very many pieces of this complex puzzle, but I don’t resent science for trying."

Anyways, the blog shows a different side of Otterson where he seems much more engaged. I'd recommend checking it out.
