Analytical thinking erodes belief in God – science-in-society – 26 April 2012 – New Scientist.

This is a pretty good read about what causes people to become atheists vs. what makes people continue to believe. My wife and I definitely fall into this paradigm. She always seems frustrated by my almost mechanical way of analyzing everything and trying to use logic to make an assessment while I always roll my eyes when she goes “with her gut”.

Cartagena, Colombia

I’ve never been to my mother’s homeland of Colombia. But if I ever have the means to visit it would be to the city of Cartagena. Most people currently know about this city because of the recent Secret Service Scandal, but, that notwithstanding, it’s a great tourist spot. Down below are two episodes of the show “Vive Colombia,” which is funded by Colombia’s Ministry of Commerce, that gives you a glimpse of what Cartagena has to offer to any and all tourists.

Heads up! It’s in Spanish. Wonderful Colombian Spanish. One of the finest Spanish accents out there if not the best. Then again, I may be bias. I hope you enjoy the episodes as much as I did.
