SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. (TSX: SNC) announced its results today for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
For the first quarter of 2012, net income attributable to SNC-Lavalin shareholders was $67.1 million ($0.44 per share on a diluted basis), compared to $76.1 million ($0.50 per share on a diluted basis) for the comparable quarter in 2011. This variance reflects a lower net income excluding Infrastructure Concession Investments, partially offset by a slightly higher net income from Infrastructure Concession Investments. The net income excluding Infrastructure Concession Investments was $42.0 million, compared to $51.7 million for the first quarter of 2011, reflecting lower contributions from Operations & Maintenance, Hydrocarbons & Chemicals, Other Industries and Infrastructure & Environment, partially offset by better contributions from the Mining & Metallurgy and Power segments.
Revenues for the first quarter of 2012 increased by 8.8% to $1.8 billion compared to $1.6 billion in the first quarter of 2011, mainly due to a 39.3% increase in the Services category.
« We are encouraged by the level of customer and partner support, as well as the dedication and determination of our 28,000 employees over the last couple of months, » said Ian Bourne, Vice-Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer, SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. « We are maintaining our 2012 outlook that net income will be in line with the full year 2011 net income, targeting an improvement over last year. »
Revenue backlog remained strong at $10.5 billion at the end of March 2012, compared to $10.1 billion at the end of December 2011, with increases in all the Company's categories of activity.

Some people are under the misconception that it costs a lot of money to eat well, but that's just not true. The person who says this usually mentions that they work long hours and that they don't have time to go shopping and then prepare a meal. But the thing is, healthy eating doesn't take a lot of time to prepare. It's just a matter of wanting to do it and learning the quickest ways to make simple food taste good and to do it quickly.
For example, many people in South America eat a ton of rice and beans because it's not only delicious and nutritious, it's cheap. Combine this with bags of frozen veggies and a little bit of spice or any other of your favorite flavorings, and you've got yourself a very healthy meal. You can also eat fruits that go on sale and add those to your diet for not much extra either. Chicken can be added as a healthy protein source as well. As you can see, with a little bit of effort and a few less excuses, anyone can eat healthy for cheap.

An Incarnational Model of Scripture
The Bible is no more a book dropped out of the sky than Jesus is some superman who flew down from heaven. Instead, just as Jesus is "God incarnate," both divine and human, the Bible is a book that speaks God's word and reflects the thoughts, ideas, and worldviews of the human authors.

My Dad died on Boxing Day in 1984.At Christmas the following year, on the first anniversary of his death, we took my Mum to Cyprus.While there i took this photo in a dead scruffy shop.Huge candles shaped as babies.Lord knows the purpose of them? They seemed only to be collecting Nicosian dust on the day we visited .............................. (a stranger's collection is usually meaningless,sadly)
Is it a 'boy-thing' this collecting lark?As a lad (6-ish?) I had a notebook in which i obsessively collected bus numbers.I nearly got run over once by an Edinburgh bus on Princess Street in my enthusiasm ........... Older (11-ish onwards) I collected Rugby League programmes.I stored over 3,000 different ones.Even when i stopped collecting i couldn't face getting shut of them.It was only in my 20's ,returning from college in Liverpool one summer, i found out my Mum had given them away "to make more space".........on dark winter nights the boy in me still pines for that rare 1939 Wembley Cup Final programme of Halifax against Salford..........(Halifax won!)
Somehow,by collecting and preserving The Past ,it made The Future more secure in some oblique way.I still don't fully understand how that one works.........? Either remembering or imagining (or both!)an occasion from a distance.I only collected programmes before I actually went to any 'away' games. My programmes then from Hull Kingston Rovers and Whitehaven were like Exotic Travel & Adventure Guides. Boys Own Adventures priming me for the future.
I still do this now in a less obvious way.I visit a blog in the same way i would "visit" a Rochdale Hornets Vs Barrow programme from 1957. in-order to get a sense of a time & place & examine a particular atmosphere that I feel generated.............
Now I imagine the past.I collect and promote my old photos.These past few weeks I have been scanning loads of old photos of The Rochdale Turkish Baths onto my web Album here.I have been going there for 25 years.They will soon knock it down.But even when they do ,I will still have a tangible record of My Place In It.
Maybe we collect The Past to better Dream The Future?
Here is an online guide that tells you it's OK to make a butterfly collection .
This is a photo my friend
Abdullah Dombaycı took with my old Sony camera in Istanbul 5 years ago.We have all flow off since then but it still proves to me that moment existed........

Rooms were clean but room for improvement. Small amount of mold in nooks and crannies. Wait staff,bartenders and entertainment staff were awesome,... friendly and funny but front desk was not helpful. Bottled water was very hard to come by. 4 people only 2 bottles per day. Got food poisoning (not from our resort) so my husband tried to get water. He was told to go himself to the bar, the bar said they didn't have any. went back to front desk but the front desk didn't have any and no offer to help so we had to find and steal it ourselves from the storage area even though we informed him of our health issues . Water was a very common complaint. Food was good and had some variety. Waiters were quick and polite and gracious but could use more 1 or 2 more at high times. Beach towels were very limited so most days were scooped up quickly. beach and poolside chairs could be reserved by placing a towel or personal items on them. Most days the chairs were claimed by 5:00 am with some guests claiming theirs the night before. I feel this should not be allowed. Hotel is undergoing changes.older section is ok but faucets leak and also temperature fluctuates(odd hot shot while showering). Beds and linens were clean but did have a musty smell if the room got hot. Beach front is clean but signs warning of sea urchins should be installed for safety as many guests are unaware and pay the price . Overall nice stay except the management but would definitely return. Very good bang for your buck. Leisure kohteesta Alberta, Canada 16.02.2013

Lack Book shelf
Materials: Lack
Description: To construct the bookshelf I took several Lack shelves. The challenge was to cut them to the right size. Therefore, I had to remove the end-caps by heat and, after cutting, replace them.
To allow precise assembly I installed first a chipboard wall.
To achieve a higher weight tolerance of many books, I used aluminum pipes, placed as seen on the pics.

Some more photos would have been nice as well as, more in-depth instructions as well. Not being a mind reader, I cant figure out how this was done.

Wow Anonymous, how rude! You are not Alex's client!If it was my hack I wouldn't be in a hurry to help you. The correct way to request more (free)information is "I'm a little uncertain on how this was constructed, if you have a chance would you mind posting some further instructions". If you don't understand something, acknowledge it rather than seeking to blame others.

Anon #1 - be appreciative of the idea. Your comment was uncalled for and rude.
Original Hacker - Great idea! I have struggled for so long on how to modify the size of the lack furniture. Now I see how to do it. Thanks so much!

Does this pup belong to you? Please PM if is yours.
I found an apartment on the cross streets of decatur st and malcolm x blvd near the utica ave A, C train stop. I really like the apartment but do not know much about brooklyn and was wondering if this area in bed stuy is safe? A bunch of people I know have said bed stuy isn't safe, but they don't live there and I was wondering if anyone on here actually knows the area well to give proper advice. I have gone to the area and it looked good as far as I dont go looking for trouble but I also checked crime tracking sites and it looks like there is a lot of violence around that area. I work in the city and don't mind the commute, however I work late nights some times and could be heading home say around 8pm on any given day and I am a young female whom will be living alone. The apartment looks great and has a security system but I am more concerned with the subway in the area at night and the 15 min walk from the subway to the apartment. Thanks for your advise in advance

I passed by the shuttered Almondine on 9th St. and it looks like Valley Shepard is looking to get a license for alcohol in that space.
Hello fellow Slopers, it is with heavy heart that I am writing this post regarding the bicycle vandal that lives on 5th street between 8th ave and Prospect Park West. Although I am 85% sure of who has vandalized my bicycle I shall refrain from posting his/her exact name and building number until I am 100%sure and the police arrest them.
How do I know who has vandalized my bicycle? Well allow me to explain. 2 months ago I was approached by a young lady about me chaining my bicycle around a tree on the specific block. The tree in front of her home to be exact. Although the conversation started on a happy note it quickly turned sour when she demanded I stop placing my bicycle on the now infamous. A the conversation became heated her husband came out his home and basically screamed at me to "STOP" chaining my bicycle around the tree in front of their home. He gave me a threatening stare, made a derogatory statement about my sexual preference and dragged his wife inside.
Before my fellow Slopers attack me let me say that I chain my bike around the tree with extreme caution. Not only is the chain I used covered with a cushy plastic material it also is chained on the tree with an unusual amount of slack. To be honest their is a lot of play between the tree and my bike and when I chain it up every night the bike appears like it is just leaning on the tree. Beside my blatant rainbow stickers adorning the frame of my bicycle I can not understand for the life of me what they find so offensive about my actions.
The above being stated I will further state that a month ago I returned to my secured bicycle to find that my bicycle seat was smothered in peanut butter and jelly. When I say smothered, I mean extremely smothered. I had no choice but to throw the entire seat away. I didn't think anything of it and chalked it up to some childish stunts by local punks. Who would of thought that my neighbors were descended from Mussolini himself for the vandalism continued.
1 week ago the vandal got brazen and loosened all the bolts on my bicycle. You can imagine my shock when i grabbed my bike and all the parts started to move this way and that. Hell, the pedals even fell off. Once more I chalked it up to a local A-hole and tightened the parts on my bike and went about my daily chores but something told me that the couple from hell had something to do with this.
Yesterday the final straw was applied to my back and it snapped like a twig. I got to my bicycle and the new seat was smothered in mayonnaise but this time there was a note attached to the bike. Would you believe that the vandal even laminated the note so as to keep the message nice and dry for me. Along with the note was a PB&J, a Mayonnaise jar label and a crude rainbow sticker. Obviously it was the same culprit. The note read as follows:
DO WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER NOW, RAINBOW BRIGHT????????The local authorities were called but they only served to mock me as they took a useless report. I was assured a detective would be assigned to my case but I know better. I explained to them that I think I was being targeted because of my sexual orientation but they brushed me off and told me that there was no proof of that.
Why do I post this on this forum? Well I want to warn my neighbors of this insidious anti bicycle, anti gay couple who live on the block. They seem intent on bullying me but I assure you I will not cave to these Gestapo type tactics. As of today I have placed my Bamboo framed bicycle in storage unit and started using a cheapo bicycle I picked up a stoop sale. I stripped all the nuts on the bike thus making it almost impossible to loosen any parts on it. I understand that I might be courting trouble but I was taught always stand up to oppression.
If it is war the want by golly it is passive war they will get. I only hope that people will understand my motives when they come across my bicycle.
Thank you.
Looking for any info on the construction thats been visible for a couple months now at this corner spot on Franklin and St. Mark's. The back door was open this morning and I was abe to see kitchen sinks and machinery, and in front the gate was slightly ajar as workers were determining how to lay some brick for a new storefront design? I figure someone may have the early scoop on what's to come.
I figured I'd add this on here, since other than the Patch it doesn't seem to have gotten picked up by anyone else.
Click through to the Patch story for a picture.Police are asking for the public's help to find a 13-year-old Brooklyn girl who has been missing since Wednesday evening.
13 year old girl missingEdo Dove was reported missing on May 15, at 7:45 p.m. She was last seen wearing tan pants and a blue shirt sitting in front of 886 Park Place between Nostrand and New York avenues in Crown Heights, police said.
She is black, standing approximately 5-foot-6, 135 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.
Anyone with any information concerning Edo Dove is urged to contact Detective Joseph Hicky at (718) 735-0610 or Detective Borough Brooklyn North at (718) 287-3239.

I was just curious if anyone knew of any changes(more bars, cafes etc.) happening between Fulton and Pacific off of Nostrand. I know there's NoBar and Richol Bakery, but that seems to be about it on my stretch of Nostrand. There's a bunch of stuff popping up a couple blocks up so i figured it's only a matter of time.
Also what's up with the armory on Bedford and Pacific? I heard tell of a rec center, but that was a while ago. Thanks!
Did you lose a bird recently?
We stopped at 6th Ave veterinary yesterday (Saturday 5/18) then a woman with a kid & a goldendoodle came in and said that they had just found (or rather a parakeet had found them) at the park. The bird had flown up to the dog and started playing with it.
She brought it to the vet hoping that they could take it, but the office was closing and no staff were there. The bird climbed right up onto my partner's finger, onto her arm, and nuzzled into her neck & hoodie. The parakeet wasn't afraid of our dogs either.
We took the bird and ended up at Unleashed (pet smart?) on 7th ave to buy a crate and some food. Fortunately for us, an animal rescue shelter was there - and the guy driving the van does bird rescue!
He said it was a girl. She was cold and hungry. She was a bit thin so probably had been loose for a few days.
If this is your bird, please contact:
Sean Casey Animal Rescue
153 E 3rd Street
Brooklyn, NY
open daily 11a-7pWe gave her up to the driver. We told him to name her Molly. He said parakeets usually go pretty quickly - so hopefully she will find a good home.

Anyone know what happened in front of the Museum last night? Lots of cops, saw a few cars in the street, a woman with cuffs on, a bike in the middle of the street. It looked like it should be bad, but didn't see an ambulance or anything indicating a big accident.
Formerly the site of 3-Ds, this site has undergone a really slooooow renovation over the course of the last three+ years:
Today (May 18, 2013), I was able to look in at the inside, and see that carpentry tools are finally absent. Tables and chairs are in place and ready for use.
In addition, a website (complete with some branding) has recently been launched: http://www.islandczcafe.com/
Here's what this location used to look like:
Based on my view, this place looks like it will be the type of venue that serves alcoholic drinks.
However, in a sign that we may still have a while to wait, there has been no activity with the SLA or the Community Board that I am aware of.
.... navigating this process often takes several months.
Does anyone think this site is actually going to open prior to July 4th?
So the city provides hundreds of them for the Brooklyn Marathon but zero for the West Indian Day parade. Hmmm...I wonder why.
Hi there!
This summer I will be doing a summer course in New York at the Miami Ad School (located in Dumbo near the Brooklyn bridge). I'm looking for a place to stay during those 3 months, but as an international student (I live in The Netherlands) it's quite hard to exactly understand where it's safe to life and where it's not. Hopefully you guys can help me out.
Currently I'm looking at 2 appartments (via nyurbanliving.com ):
Kingston ave / St Marks ave
What's this block like?Nostrand ave / Eastern Parkway
What's this block like?Would you guys consider these apartments a good deal and in a good (enough) neighbourhood for a student? Is it easy to find transportation from here to Dumbo?
Thanks a bunch!

I have never seen this many porta-potties in my life.
Finally get your business plan done and have fun doing it! Do you stress out at the mere thought of planning your business? But you know how important it is to have clear goals and action steps for your business to succeed. This workshop is designed just for you! Instead of staying stuck and frustrated, how about having fun while moving forward with the [b]Right Brain Business Plan 1-1/2 day workshop on June 7th & 8th, Friday night 7-9:45PM and Saturday 9AM-4:45PM in Brooklyn.[/b]This interactive workshop is based on the bestselling book The Right Brain Business Plan by author/coach Jennifer Lee and led by licensed facilitator & artist, Karen Friedland. You will learn a visual, creative and accessible process to illucidate your vision, goals and actions. Even the traditional (a.k.a. "intimidating") parts like competitive analysis, marketing and finances will be tackled in a way that's creative, inspiring, engaging and expressive (just like YOU!)
This fun and interactive workshop is perfect for you if…
* You've tried to do a business plan the "traditional way" and you got stuck, overwhelmed, and demotivated
* You already have a business plan, but you need to breathe new life into it
* You can't stand spreadsheets
* Numbers numb you out
* AND you'd be a heck of a lot happier planning your business in the same intuitive, authentic, and expressive way that you live your creative life (yes, indeed, it can be that fun and fulfilling!)

What do our schools say about what we value? By Greg Stack, AIA
On a recent trip to London to attend an AIA Committee on Architecture for Education conference and to tour schools, I revisited a question that is always of interest to me, namely: What do schools say about how a society values learning, its educational system, and ultimately its children? I had been able to examine this question on trips to Finland and Australia, and would now study it in the UK. Study trips such as these invariably look at shining examples of progressive school architecture and although they offer only a glimpse of the overall stock of schools, they are indicative I believe of the commitment to education. They tell us if the country is preparing its students for the future or the past, whether they are open to trying new educational approaches, and the standing of education as a profession. They tell us if there is economic support for education and perhaps most importantly, send a message as to whether the activities that take place in school are valued.

A user on Instagram made a meme of the Russian meteor. (Instagram / February 15, 2013) |
It took a rock from space to derail the viral supremacy of the "Harlem Shake," but that's exactly what Friday's Russian meteor has accomplished.
According to Visible Measures, a video analytics and advertising firm, videos of the Russian meteor amassed more than 7.7 million views in less than 15 hours. And, of course, people have wasted no time posting videos and memes.
A few people tried combining the meteor with the "Harlem Shake." Most are pretty bad, but one combined the song with a pretty good roundup of meteor videos.
Users also have been cracking meteor jokes on Twitter.

Android 4.0 Installed On Just 4.9% Of Devices
Six months after debuting, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich has been installed on a small percentage of Android devices overall. Most devices still use the Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS.
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich's growth in the market jumped in recent weeks, but it is still scarce. According to the latest Google Play Store data compiled by Google, 4.9% of all Android devices are now running Ice Cream Sandwich. That's up significantly from last month's 2.9% penetration rate, but Gingerbread remains the dominant version running on nearly two-thirds of devices.
The reason behind Android 4's little jump in presence recently can be assigned to several factors. First, Google and Samsung have pushed out updates to the Galaxy Nexus S 4G in the U.S., as well as to the Galaxy S II in markets outside the U.S. This month also saw the release of the HTC One X and One S in several markets, including the U.S. These two devices run Android 4.0 out of the box. Last, Sony is providing Android 4.0 updates to several of its Xperia smartphones outside the U.S.

More >>Filling out the rest of the field, Android 2.3 Gingerbread represents a whopping 64.4% of the installed base. Its market presence actually grew last month, as more devices recently have been updated from Android 2.2 to Android 2.3. It doesn't help that a number of new Android smartphones are—still--shipping with 2.3 rather than 4.0.
[ Android 4.0's debut promised an easier job for programmers. See Samsung Nexus Prime To Mark Ice Cream Sandwich Debut. ]
Other versions have lost share--which is a good thing. Android 2.2 Froyo's presence slipped to 20.9% of the installed base, Android 2.1 Eclair dropped to 5.5%, and Android 1.5 and 1.6 combined represent 1% of the Android installed base. The tablet-optimized Honeycomb version of Android 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 combined represent 3.3%.
Google shares this data with developers so they may more accurately target their applications for devices and platforms that are in the market.
Despite its weak presence in the market, Android 4.0 is set to climb quickly in the coming weeks and months. The HTC One X, in particular, is an outstanding Android smartphone and will surely be a hit with AT&T subscribers. Same applies to the HTC One S for T-Mobile. These are two exciting devices that will expand Android 4.0's footprint. Additionally, Sony is prepared to deliver Android 4.0 to a growing number of its Xperia smartphones in the coming weeks.
We also can't forget the Samsung Galaxy S III, which is being launched May 3 by Samsung. This device also will ship with Android 4.0 and should become available before the end of June. Given how successful Samsung's previous generations of Galaxy devices are, the S III is expected to be a smash hit.
I wouldn't be surprised if Android 4.0 reaches 10% or more of the Android installed base by this time next month.

Iceland Hotel Reviews
Hotels in Reykjavík and larger towns usually offer standard amenities: hair dryer, trouser press, telephone, and satellite TV. Unless otherwise noted, assume rooms listed have bath or shower. Breakfast is usually included in the hotel price, but inquire to be certain.
Many travelers find simple guesthouses adequate, whereas others prefer a bed-and-breakfast in a private home. Icelandic farm holidays have been growing in popularity, even among Icelanders. On about 140 properties—half of them working farms—you can come in close contact with the country, its people, and the magnificent natural surroundings. Accommodations vary widely: you might stay in a separate cottage, in a bed in the farmhouse, or in a sleeping bag in an outbuilding. Some farms have cooking facilities; others serve full meals if requested. Make reservations well in advance.

Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Evolution Basics: Darwin's Early Observations on Biogeography
For Darwin, both of these observations (that oceanic islands lacked terrestrial mammals, and that endemic species on islands were most similar to a species on the closest mainland) had the same explanation: his hypothesis that endemic, oceanic species were the modified descendants of a colonizing species from the nearest continent.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Science and the Bible: Assessing the Evangelical Encounter with Evolution
Having now completed our study of the five main views about "Science and the Bible" held by conservative Protestants, I conclude with a final column, assessing the whole situation as I see it today.
Series: Science and the Bible: Intelligent Design
In this series, Ted Davis identifies the history, core tenets and assumptions about the Intelligent Design view.
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
The Randomness Project
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Freedom and Grace in Tennessee
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
Series: David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Not only are evolution and biblical faith compatible, but committed Christians have been at the forefront of evolutionary science ever since Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859. This series looks at David Lack, an ornithologist and devout Christian who contributed greatly to the understanding of Darwin's finches.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
Series: Understanding Evolution: the Evolutionary Origins of Irreducible Complexity
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment, we examine evidence that proteins in irreducibly complex (IC) systems can form and refine new interactions through gradual mechanisms.
