Alison Krauss is lovely inside and out, and this rendition of Slumber my

Darling is heart breaking. Stephen Foster died in a Bowery slum with

about 39 cents in his pocket. Like so many great artists, he never lived

to see the recognition he deserved.

I doubt Stephen Foster realized just how beautiful a song he'd written. Too bad he never heard her sing it. She is pitch perfect every time...stunning.

@63morgan OK, no amount of me quoting Leviticus 20, Deuteronomy 13 or Exodus 21 v15 will shake your faith in the bible. Nor will the undoubted truth of evolution and other evidence based scientific ideas versus creatonism and superstition. Let's just agree that Allison has a truly fabulous voice and enjoy our short and only life.

@yotter58 As for having no place in the modern world, do we not base much of today's law on the 10 commandments (do not kill, steal, give false testimony, etc.)? Would we not all benefit from Jesus' teachings to love and forgive, help the poor, and treat others as we would like to be treated? Is there no room in the world for those values? Far from being offended, I welcome the opportunity for this exchange with you.

@yotter58 Why does my confidence in the scriptures worry you? And on what do you base your statement that they were devised by goat herders? Granted, some of the writers were shepherds; but we also have King David, King Solomon, Luke (a physician), Matthew (tax collector) and Paul (law student & Pharisee, hater and persecutor of Christians who became one himself). More in next post . .

@63morgan

Not really that, it's just when you write:"God has spoken to me through the scriptures", I get a bit worried. Sorry to cause offence, but these scriptures were devised by bronze age goat herders and have no place in the modern world.

@yotter58 Are you saying that science and God are incompatible?

[yotter58]

@yotter58 @63morgan

Yo-Yo plays beautifully and Allison does indeed have a sweet voice which gives a wonderful warm feeling inside. However, you're watching this on a computer, you probably drive a car, use a mobile telephone, and one day you'll go to hospital to be cured of illness. ALL these things are provided by science, technology and engineering using evidence based principles which we now understand from billions of hours of

research. Don't believe in fairy stories, get a science book

@63morgan

Rubbish!

@ZiPolishHammer Though I realize God has not been proven or dis-proven in a scientific sense, I see great evidence for His existence. At the risk of sounding like a moron, I will again say I have no doubts, though I understand that others do. It is a joy to share my beliefs, but I cannot force them on anyone. God has spoken to me through the scriptures and has given me faith in my heart to know Him, which is proof enough for me.
