This is a reaffirmation of what the Catholic church has said for decades (despite the fact that US conservative Christians may think).

That should be "neither threatens nor..."

Intelligent design is a pseudoscientific theory that has fuck-all to do with Catholicism or the pope, even Benedict. Catholic creationism is a non-scientific theory that neither threatens not is threatened by evolution. This has been the Churh's position for a while, including under Benedict. It's amazing to me how…

Not sci-fi (just good fiction) but the king of Self-Destructive I that I've seen in the last few years:

His behavior has literally killed him a dozen times, he's a fugitive, he has either pushed all of his friends away or indirectly killed them, and he banished his entire species to another dimension. Oh, and he's committed genocide on multiple occasions.

Londo Mollari. Why? Well let's see, he's driven by revenge and a lust for power (ironically, to do the right thing by his people) and in the process he alienated his friends, made a deal with th devil, essentially committed genocide, then when the heel face turn kicked in, was punished by basically selling his soul to…

An obvious choice: "When Jimmy McNulty ain't policing, he's a picture postcard of a drunken self-destructive fuck-up. And when he IS policing, he's pretty much the same motherfucker but on a good case, that's as close as the man comes to being right." (*sniff) I miss The Wire.

Londo Mollari from Babylon 5

A Centari Politician so intent on his people regaining their rightful place in the Universe that he did some horrendous things that he would regret for the rest of his life.

So, burning question, who is Kristin Kryngle going to turn out to be? Is there a Santa themed Batman villain I am not familiar with?

Replace Power-girl with Captain Marvel :D

If she wasnt already in arrow, I would say Caity Lotz for Captain Marvel.

Carol confirmed.

Generally speaking, the people who fund creation science are also the people who aren't overfond of Papists (who have been more or less okay with evolution since 1950).

Guess who thinks those people are crazy?
