Ethiopian Church Will Not Display The Ark of the Covenant - June 29, 2009 (WorldNetDaily)

There was considerable confusion last week when the leader of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church apparently told an Italian news agency about the possible public display of the Ark of the Covenant – the box holding the Ten Commandments – and then the prescribed time passed with no word. However, there was no equivocation in an e-mail received by WND from the webmaster of a church website in response to an inquiry about the truth of the matter. "It is not going to happen so the world has to live with curiosity," said the statement, signed only "Webmaster" in response to the WND inquiry.

Ancient Christian Hideout Found in Israel? - June 24, 2009 (National Geographic News)

A 2,000-year-old underground chamber has been discovered in Israel's Jordan Valley. The largest human-made cave in Israel, the 1-acre (0.4-hectare) space is thought to have begun as a quarry. In subsequent centuries it may have served as a monastery, hideout for persecuted Christians, or Roman army base, experts say.

Ahmadinejad Still The Winner, Says Partial Recount - June 29, 2009 (The Jerusalem Post)

In an attempt to placate protesters, Iran conducted a partial recount Monday of votes cast in its disputed presidential election, and the hard-line president asked for an investigation into the shooting death of a young woman who has become a potent symbol of the opposition's struggle. The regime's standoff with the West over its crackdown on demonstrators sharply escalated Sunday when Iran announced it had detained nine local employees of the British Embassy in Teheran. Both Britain and the European Union condemned what they called "harassment and intimidation."

US Takes N Korea's Violent Rhetoric Lightly - June 25, 2009 (Fox News)

US officials are closely monitoring the situation in North Korea, but said Thursday there are "no signs of an imminent long-range launch" of a long-range missile headed toward Hawaii. North Korea has vowed to enlarge its nuclear arsenal and threatened the US with "annihilation." But senior US officials are putting the ramped up rhetoric as part of a "continuing North Korea bluster" designed to coincide with the 59th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War.

Iran On The Way To Revolution - June 23, 2009 (Fox News)

A week after hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner of the June 12 election, protestors continue to reject the results. Protests continue in Iran, despite the vicious backlash by the Iranian authorities. According to freelance journalist Kayvon Biouki: "By the look of things, it doesn't seem that the conservatives are going to back down. And at the same time it doesn't seem that people, Mousavi supporters, and all those who oppose the Iranian system in one way or another, those are not going to back down from this either. In a way, it's a revolution in progress."

UN Treaty Jeopardizes UK's Homeschoolers - June 16, 2009 (Home School Legal Defense Association)

On June 11, 2009 a report on home education in England by Graham Badman, a former Managing Director of Children, Families and Education in the County of Kent, was accepted in full by the British Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families. The report makes the case that homeschooling should be extensively regulated in England. Aside from registering with the state and mandating reports by homeschoolers, the Badman report makes references to balancing the rights of parents with the rights of children. This idea is expressed in the UNCRC.

New Book Offers DNA Evidence For Intelligent Design - June 23, 2009 (The Discovery Institute)

The digital code in DNA reveals new evidence of intelligent design, Stephen C. Meyer shows in his authoritative new book. Signature in the Cell shows that Darwin did not refute the argument from design, as New Atheists such as Richard Dawkins claim. Instead, using the same scientific method that Darwin himself pioneered, Meyer shows that modern discoveries about DNA have revived the design hypothesis, thereby providing modern scientific support for religious belief.

Universal is Expensive: Health Care Debate Warms Up - June 23, 2009 (Medical News Today)

"A preliminary estimate of the Senate Finance Committee's draft bill put the price tag of universal coverage at $1.6 trillion over 10 years. That was considerably more than anyone anticipated and forced the committee to delay work on the bill. The cost of the incomplete plan drafted by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee was pegged at about $1 trillion over 10 years, but the CBO said that would still leave 30 million (rather than the current 46 million) people without coverage." There are several plans for legislators to consider.

A Step Closer To Teleportation - June 22, 2009 (AAP)

Australian scientists have developed a new method for transmitting data with light that may lead to super-fast quantum computers and teleportation technology.

Israeli Experts Divided Over Iran's Mousavi - June 24, 2009 (Arutz Sheva)

Israeli experts disagree on whether the Jewish state is better off with Mahmoud Ahmadinjad as Iran's president, or with his challenger Mir-Hossein Mousavi. While Mousavi is seen as more moderate than the incumbent, many experts think this actually makes him a greater threat – because the danger he poses is harder to see. Mossad director Meir Dagan told the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee last week that "if the reformist candidate Mousavi had won, Israel would have had a more serious problem because it would need to explain to the world the danger of the Iranian threat."

Sorry Carter: No Certainty of Two-State Solution - June 17, 2009 (Arutz Sheva)

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu may have agreed to demilitarize the PA state, but a two-state decision is not actually in the bag. "There is no consensus in Israel regarding the two-state formula," Knesset Speaker Ruby Rivlin told former US President Jimmy Carter on Monday. "We will not, under any circumstances, allow the establishment of a neighboring state that will be a genuine threat on our existence."
