That's Using Your Head

Today at UW in Madison, WI, it's the humans who are playing video games just by thinking about it. While this is cool for us power gamers, it has many more impressive applications, including limb replacement."

"This is the reason I am upset with the direction of the US. In nearly any other developed country, science versus religion isn't even an argument anymore. It makes me ill when people talk about "playing God." Please, wake me when He shows up. For now, the only person who has done anything revolutionary (beyond personal support) for the crippled are scientists, doctors, and other people who work instead of pray. "

well son, maybe god is not a he and maybe god does not need to show up. I have seen god do wonderful things for the crippled and god didnt even have to show up. If you want proof, go take a look at your local religious charity, look at mother teresa, the dalai lama, the salvation army, and thousands of similar people. These people are the hands of god in our world. Can you tell me that Mother Teresa was not doing gods work when she went and helped the sickest and poorest people in the world? where were are all the other people you claim to be so great? do they give up their fortunes? family? no. Think about that the next time you see some millionaire hollywood big-shot running a fund raiser when they could just donate money themselves.
