e-Denounce

Knacklappen writes: "A British organization named Federation Against Software Theft (FAST) will according to this article on Monday launch a plug-in for Internet Explorer that will put an 'F' button on a user's browser. Pressing the button, one can easily tipoff FAST about pirated software. The plug-in captures a live example of the site for evidence as well as other basic information about the site. Great idea, but why not mark the button with 'D' for 'denounce'?"

    Just because it's in a book doesn't mean thats it's true!-Christian mom upon seeing son with genetics textbook.

    Doubly hilarious because said mother would also claim that other things are true because they're in The Book.

    Triply hilarious because the actual data (not necessarily the conclusions the book makes on said data) in the genetics textbook actually destroys the idea of Darwinist evolution (and PunkEek, if you care) pretty thoroughly. Michael Behe's book Darwin's Black Box makes some of the points involved in a really clear and readable way. So in theory Mum should be encouraging the reading of it...

    I wonder... are we far enough off topic yet? (-:

      Adam and Eve isn't a literal play by play of the human race. Adam means "mankind". It's symbolic. The first 3 chapters of Genesis is a poem, that rhymes. It's main point is:
      "I created EVERYTHING. I'll give you a quick ditty on how it started." Then he busts into song. :)
      The Bible demands logic and does not demand blind faith. Pastor's are people who help you interpret the Bible, but, since they are human, they are prone to error.The first people to condemn are the people who take out passages that suit there particular situation. There is more detail on the creation of the world, that is NOT in Genesis that validates what we are discovering now. Read Daniel sometime. You'll start laughing at the people who quote Genesis by memeory.
