Again, the commenter wasn't arguing in favor of creationism. Simply making the distinction between young earth creationists and regular creationists. If he WAS though, I would still show that person respect. Just not their idea.

Sure, it's a different amount of belief, and certainly the level of flexibility is different. But they're still beliefs. It wasn't that long ago that scientists believed women couldn't have orgasms.

Your mistake is in assuming I'm defending creationism. I have no stake in either argument. But attacking someone for their beliefs (even only verbally, on the internet) is rude and reprehensible.

And according to that other commenter, you must be irrational (?).

Agreed. It's the same coming from both sides.

Humans are not programs. We can and frequently do operate contrary to our internal train of thought, because we do not run around killing every person that offends us and mating with every attractive member of the opposite sex. It's called being civilized and respectful.

Right, evidence. So, do you have any evidence that this commenter personally pushed his beliefs on other people?

The replies here are disgusting. Why does it bother you people so much that someone believes in something you don't? Are you just as rude and disrespectful to people who believe in String Theory, or people who think Dvorak is superior?

Way to miss the point, dudebroman.

Well that was dull. The idea's been done before, without the clichéd action and wooden acting. I mean, I get that this was a short film and maybe they only wanted two lines of dialogue, but at least make the silences count.

If I have some information that I think might be useful to io9 (like info about a famous fantasy author's new book), how can I send it?

What I'm getting from this is that an MIT graduate pissed in your cereal this morning.

we always love you

I love how the only woman in the set is Marie Curie. I agree with the other commenter, this is more like "most famous scientists".

Wouldn't it be awesome if Jesse Eisenberg played Harry?

Really? It was pretty much the only reason I read those books.

It's a shame their editor wanted to be so trendy with the shots, because most of them are incomplete. It's like he was having too much fun with Vegas or FinalCut.

I thought that was precisely why they got to decide what to call robots.

This planet must be the Pluto of another solar system.

I actually thought the ending was kind of dumb, simply because the movie already showed it like 50 times in the other home movies. The whole film was about figuring out the pattern, so why couldn't the ending break the pattern?
