"People have a 'concept' in their heads of what their religion is about, but that concept in no way matches up with what it actually says in the religious texts."
You adhere to your proven "facts" about abiogenesis and evolution being impossible, but what about the stories in the Bible that have been proven impossible? I can't believe you brought up the Ark, as it's one of the most invalidated stories, perhaps only after Jonah living in a fish's belly for three nights. If the…
Science: Prove me right.
I love these revelations, because they highlight the arrogance of modern man's interpretation of the past. I find it amazing that people really consider human pre-history to only stretch back ten thousand years (or worse, just a few thousand years). As if we only JUST recently (from a geological/evolutionary…
Rainbow colored narwhals you say....how long do you need to be an established resident of Arizona?
Hmmmm....unfrozen lake underneath Antarctica? Are we sure this is just your average H2O?
Ahh, my new favorite internet meme!
Check out how long it took the iPhone camera to get up to snuff. It's all an evolution.
If it were unreasonable, they wouldn't be selling like hotcakes. Here, I fixed it for you:
They never say specs don't matter. They consistently say that user experience matters. When they reach a point where the specs improve the user experience, they tout that. There is a difference, which a lot of Android device makers seem to forget/ignore.
The two best uses for the iPad: Beefier iDevice for travel, and Kids.
BTW, I absolutely LOVE my late-09 27-inch i5 iMac. I thought I'd be in the market for an update this year, especially given the somewhat weak 512MB graphics processor, but I've been playing Skyrim through Bootcamp with the settings cranked high and very few issues (just a bit of framerate slowdown when there are a LOT…
Should be immanent. I go here to keep track of updates:
In trying to think of a question, I'm reminded of another salient point from the Hitchhikers series.
I highly doubt they will get anywhere close to $100Bn. Maybe if they had gone public around the time of the Facebook movie (when they should have), but today is a very different IPO market.
The main thing to remember about shorting is that there is no floor for your losses. When buying stock of a company, the worst that could happen is the price falls to $0. When shorting stock of a company, your losses could be WAY more than you initially invested.
Just as it was not illegal to plant an American flag on the moon, it will not be illegal to build a moon base. The only thing is when we do build a moon base (and it is an eventuality assuming no extinction event) it will an international moon base, just as we have an international space station today. No one country…
It's hardly scientific, but anecdotally I was very surprised when my son (now two and a half years old) picked up a fascination for trains. We had no train-related things around the house, but a handful of iPad apps included them (amongst many other things, for example "T" for train) and he was drawn to trains like a…
Art? Don't talk to me about art.
