I ran across some interesting material in reviewing some of the Noah's Ark evidence. Apparently there are some Christian scientists that believe that at one point there was a significant amount of atmospheric moisture, and possibly a vast collection of deep aquifers that were let loose during the global catastrophe.

Perhaps there is a bit of credibility to the creationists after all...

Okay.. kisses.

How about stop trying to be so accessible to morons? I can't stand an OS that makes all your settings decisions for you. Don't know how to configure your defaults? Tough tits... go use a Mac.

The only thing that truly bothers me about MS is that it is a piece of junk that has become the standard for computing. I would so much rather use a Linux system at home, but since that is not mainstream, I have too either spend too much time programing ports for all the video games I want to play, and hardware drivers I use, or accept the standards of XP.

I'll happily skip Vista altogether.

FireFox rox MY Branebox --- Opera on the PPC though...

Today... today is beer and hot-wings day. Gotta keep the table muscle in line with the extremities.

because I'm (not) secretly a Discordian and believe it is my moral imperative to say "Yabba dabba DOO!"


How do ya like them apples?!

Well... good beer and good food make life very very nice. I have awesome music going... all that's missing is a pretty girl making eyes at me.

I think I'm me... I like me and believe in me. Who needs a space-magician to make them act right and be happy when they believe in themselves?

No where east of the Mississippi... good reason never to live on the East Coast again, except for not finding Adirondack Ales out here... I could give to rat's asses about the Yeungling.

As a Potatoe Cultist I cannot honestly utter Ramen with the proper reverence, but then again, I suppose there is a place for some red sauce and meat balls in any Gnocchi dish.

May his noodley appendage touch us all (in the dirty spot please...).

Got the last bottle of a 6 of Moose Drool going down... Mmm... tasty beer from home.

Flesh Field - Recoil

There is no reason for science and faith to be at odds. Science explains quite nicely the physical phenomena in the universe, and faith has to deal with everything else.

It is just an unfortunate point of ignorance that people take the Bible to be the literal inviolate word of G*O*D.

The Bible, though an interesting read, and arguably a good book is no where near inviolate, having been translated through no less than 3 languages... ancient Hebrew, Greek, Latin, German, and then into English and subsequently every language in which it has been printed to spread the word and save the world.

There ARE philosophical truths in the book, and many good parables to teach one how to live a fulfilling and healthy life. It does not replace knowledge or critical thinking and those who feel that it is the penultimate source of knowledge are unfortunately deluded.

Heh... religion and science are not at odds at all unless you try to surpass one with the other.

Just makes me wonder how many laws of physics God is allowed to violate before justifying the Bible through rational scieney methods is chucked out the window, and they start admitting that God is a magical space man who can alter the nature of reality without creating severe disturbances accrossthe entire universe.

Plus... heated debate is fun. That's why we get into it anyway :)

Drift accounts generally for the movement of continents sure... but in order for an event of magnitude great enough to push continents around to occur and to do so in about 1.5 months you have some SERIOUS seismic activity. A wooden boat full of critters isn't going to fare well on the ocean swells produced by that.

There are a lot of cases where "Biblical Science" has a correct general notion of things but for the wrong reason.

Oh... and your Antonio guy certainly wasn't the first to venture the idea of drift. Francis Bacon (another famous Sicencey guy) beat him out by a couple hundred years, and he wasn't the first either.

Pretty much anyone with rudimentary cartography skills can see that all the continents fit together more or less like a puzzle. This is by no means science.

So far, I have yet to get any personal attention from Sky-daddy that I would consider quality time with any sort of father figure.

When God decides to show up and say "hello" like a decent sort, I will reconsider my position of his/her/its relevance in my life.

Shh! Don't tell em about the continental drift theory Krimsa.... that will get them off on tangents before this gets *really* good.

Besides... if you do that, then the Mormons are going to show up and start in with the stuff about THEIR testament, and how the world had to always be configured exactly the same way, or the idea of Jesus coming to the western hemisphere for the second set of documents is shot.

Who came in here and started throwing down? We were having a nice easy-going meet and greet.
