"The Big Bang would work better if there was a Creator to guide the results, so after scientists noticed that they started coming up with alternate theories that would be more random."

For the same reasons I mentioned above, "fudged data" doesn't generally endure very long. If you're a scientist, and I'm a rival scientist, it's in my best funding-hungry interests to examine your work for any possible errors, discredit your bad work, build upon your good work, and then put my name on that. Also,…

So Bronze Age, I'm surprised to see you here on what's generally a fairly progressive-leaning website. We don't get too many unregistered Creationists around here—the overlap between this site's readers and the readers of Evolutionnews.org was, I thought, somewhere between minimal and nonexistent—so I will take this…

Well, I'm in for the year for Wrapped Up in Books, so count me in regardless. I'm sure I'll get something worthwhile out of it.

A little story
Once, about twelve years ago, a friend gave me a demo tape of his music and told me to check it out and tell him what I thought. I took it home, smoked a joint, put in the tape, and for the next hour sat with my mind just BLOWN that my friend was apparently the greatest, most versatile, most amazing…

Sorry, I see this has been covered already.

They've also said it's okay to fuck little kids
as long as you're a priest, and to have unprotected sex in AIDS-infested countries, so take their recommends with a little caution.

Question for the public: what percentage of these fake gimmick posters actually deserve to not have their every comment deleted?

I just got this in the mail.
And I have to say, wow, it's very short—my copy is only 88 pages, with another 50 or so of an interview with Margurite Duras.

Atheism is so Nineteenth Century? At least it's not "so Bronze age."

Have you ever heard the lyrics for "Born in the USA"? It's a total protest song.

Isn't it more that viruses are just a much more basic and totally different variety of "life." Stephen Hawking has gone as far as saying perhaps we ought to consider computer viruses as being the first true forms of artificial life. They're self-replicating, they evolve, they can die, et cetera.

Maybe he just really likes David Roberts, the Southwestern historian who wrote about the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 and who recently solved the mystery of wilderness vagabond Everett Ruess's disappearance.

Here's an amazing video to get one obsessed with ants and E.O. Wilson's work…

Any criticism of the Simpsons not dying needs to also mention that terrible, terrible, terrible movie. I pretty much stopped being a vocal fan after seeing that.

REM's not exactly breaking any new ground with their most recent albums, but they have released a number of solid pop albums, with some exceptional songs. And they've CERTAINLY released some classic albums since OUT OF TIME: AUTOMATIC, MONSTER, and UP among others.

Okay, the FORBES interview has some interesting stuff in it, but it turns out this quote—

This is referencing some sound byte I missed, apparently.

I want every fan of Glenn Beck to see his interview in the current issue of FORBES magazine, in which he discusses his $32 Million annual income, his status as purely an apolitical entertainer, and the fact that he thinks that anyone who takes his words seriously is "an idiot." I guess he just assumes his fans are…

I had to look up "WAT," and I have to say its definitions are pretty amusing.
