Science Increasingly Makes the Case for God

Truth is available to those that seek it. The purpose of life is relentless pursuit of knowledge. We should not despair if humans have exploited God through organized religion for greed, vanity and power. However, this does not mean that there are no aliens. The universe in all likely-hood would be teaming with life and some religons tell you that it would be. Again, one has to seek the truth - relentless pursuit of knowledge anyone?

Finally some consensus building around AI through scientific method.

So Google hired Kurzweil and Baidu has hired Andrew Ng. The competition has been there between china and the rest in all areas of technology - it is just that we only see Google.

Profit from saving the planet

I had always looked at carbon credits with a lot of contempt because it provides no incentive for big corporations to pollute. But I have to admit that I have never closely looked at the whole mechanism and how does it work in a developing region like ours. I attended a presentation today which revealed to me that most of the Indian Cement companies have gotten rid of old polluting equipment and gotten new less polluting plant and machinery. This has allowed most of these companies to earn revenue by selling carbon credits. Actually some of the cement companies are earning more revenue by selling carbon credits than by selling cement (which, by the way, is in high demand in the region). We, in Pakistan, shall look at this in more detail and advise our industrialists who have old polluting plants. Could be a very nice DAWN article.
