As genetic scientists gain more and more knowledge about the basic makeup of life, age-old questions come streaming back into our collective consciousness. Peace and Hypocrisy Religious leaders gathered this week in New York City to discuss ways to achieve peace in the world today. Yet they were haunted by the specter of religion s role in the wars and conflicts throughout history. We are living in a time of unprecedented change. The way we live, the way we work and the way we conduct business are all being redefined.

The more that uncertainty is introduced into our world, the more a value system is needed, and the more people are asking for it. Today's Abandoned Children Children in the western world today are typically much better off than they were a century ago - at least in a physical sense. Infant mortality rates have declined greatly with advances in medicine and most children have plenty to eat, are clothed well and have decent shelter. Have we taken care of their physical needs and neglected teaching them things which matter most. The role that envy, jealousy and anger played in the Bible's first murder is most instructive.
