Comment on Universal Reduced Potential Function for Diatomic Systems

First principles prove why a recent claim by R.H. Xie and P.S. Hsu (Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 243201 (2006)) on the scaling power of a covalent Sutherland parameter to expose a universal function cannot be validated.Comment: 1 page, at the UGent archive, 11 references, revised for publication in PR

Message in the Sky

We argue that the cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides a stupendous opportunity for the Creator of universe our (assuming one exists) to have sent a message to its occupants, using known physics. Our work does not support the Intelligent Design movement in any way whatsoever, but asks, and attempts to answer, the entirely scientific question of what the medium and message might be IF there was actually a message. The medium for the message is unique. We elaborate on this observation, noting that it requires only careful adjustment of the fundamental Lagrangian, but no direct intervention in the subsequent evolution of the universe.Comment: 3 pages, revtex; to appear in Mod.Phys.Lett.

A speculative relation between the cosmological constant and the Planck mass

We propose the relation $M_\Lambda \sim (M_{Pl} M_U)^{1/2}$ where $M_\Lambda$, $M_{Pl},$ and $M_U$ denote the mass scale associated with the cosmological constant, the gravitational interaction, and the size of the universe respectively.Comment: 3 page

Patterns of Speciation and Extinction and the Divine Valuing of Creation

The near-universal concern over the current rate of species extinction must be contextualized, given the occurrence ofprevious mass extinctions during the course of Earth\'s natural history. Current scientific knowledge regarding patterns of speciation and extinction present two challenges to the theologian: 1 ) how to understand God\'s relationship to these patterns; and 2) how to understand God\'s valuation of transient creatures in creation. After reviewing current theories regarding speciation and extinction, the implications for theology are addressed, particularly the need to account for extinction as an undeniable feature of cosmic history
