Linux Reconstructing Tree of Life?

vaderhelmet writes "Wired has a cool story about how the American Museum of Natural History, funded by the National Science Foundation is using Linux to "construct a pattern of relationships that biologists believe links all of Earth's present and past species -- from the smallest microbe to the largest vertebrate that existed during Earth's 4 billion-year history." They're using their very own homemade supercomputer which ranks in at 107 on the Top 500 supercomputers list. Quote from article: "Linux makes it so easy to create a supercomputer.""

I love how the mention of evolution brings out the creationist trolls.

I came to the same conclusion about mocking them instead of being agreeable for peace's sake a few years ago. There have to be standards, there have to be limits.

The creationists do a lot of bashing of evolution/science for a bunch of wackoes who can't even get thier own story straight.

Really.

*Which* genesis story and in *which order* was everything created? Two completely incompatible creation myths in one religion.

If anything epitomizes the idiocy of religion and Xianity in particular, *that* has got to be it.

attn: Creationists! You need to get over your fear of the unknown or at least go cower from the world somewhere quietly, without bothering the rest of us.

Please.
