"That has nothing to do with God or Jesus" is perhaps going a little too far. I won't deny that passion is more relevant in many cases (nothing makes for worse art than a passionless creator), but as George Steiner remarks, the belief in something transcendent makes for good art more often than a lack of such belief.

A fair point. It's been some time since I watched that episode, so the only one I knew for sure that she mentioned was deGrasse Tyson.

Titanfall is also available for PC, though.

Due to the track record of Xbox "exclusives" being released on PC, too (and given that I now have a mostly functional PC laptop), I'm leaning PS4. Being extremely broke, however, I'm probably looking at it two or three years down the road.

I don't know if it was meant to come off this way, but it struck me as deeply ironic that Piper's expression of her beliefs included the most obvious choices among celebrity scientists.

And I think just about every military teaches some basic hand to hand skills. I know the US army has a grappling tournament, and I think boxing, too.

Israeli military personnel (from what I have heard anyway) learn Krav Maga, which combines some Muay Thai, judo, jiu-jitsu, and groin-punching.

"What difference does it make what species it is, whether human or cow?"

Utterly false. They were "fleeing" what they considered to be a poor form of religion. They thought the Church of England was too Catholicish, so they secured a royal charter specifically granting them the right to run the established church on congregational lines, which included a purge of the ornate trappings of
