Two Contrasting Views of Islam, and Then a Little on CRISPR (Jumbo Edition)

Spent the first 70 minutes or so contrasting two videos on Islam, one from Talk Islam decrying the violence in Paris, the other the newest ISIS promo video which I call “ISIS Hollywood.” Lots of discussion of sources, interpretation, etc., especially in light of the ridiculous accusation that honestly recognizing differences amongst Muslims makes you “soft” on Islam. Then toward the end I talked a bit about the gene-editing CRISPR issue and how the Christian worldview is relevant to how we think on such things. We plan on being back on tomorrow to look at a Paul Copan article and more.
