"In the day of my father" *still* does not imply the millions of years that is necessary for evolution. Furthermore, even a cursory reading of Genesis shows it does not match up with reality. God separates the light from the darkness AND creates plants BEFORE he creates the sun.
You can be a christian and believe in evolution, but not without going against the first book of the bible.
Sigh. It really amazes me how little self-proclaimed Christians know their own so-called divine book. Even a cursory look at the New Testament sees the word 'priest' used hundreds of times.
For example-
Hebrews 6:20
where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
Oh, since the Old Testament...
Exodus 34:12-16
Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
Deuteronomy 7:3-4
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
NOTE: I do *NOT* agree with this, or believe in the veracity of the Bible. I'm just showing it has precedent.
Except that the New Testament frequently refers to the Old Testament and the laws therein. The first Christians were actually Jews, very religious Jews, who followed the Old Testament very closely. It was only after Paul Romanized Christianity did the emphasis on Old Testament law start dying away. However, even now it is still considered very important. The Ten Commandments are in the Old Testament and only referred to (with some odd differences from the original text) in the New Testament.
No, but the bible DOES say that the universe, Earth, all life on it, all the water, etc. were created within the span of less than a week. And all the animals beside us were created in one day.
Evolution does not work that way.
I am not a Christian (or a believer in any deities), but if you want to accept both evolution AND the Bible as true, you have a great big paradox on your hands.
No, that's the Fifth Element. The missing component is obviously an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator. Thankfully, the Acme corporation has a large supply.
How much time exactly? Because it took Kim Jong Il decades with a lot of help and huge portions of the country's budget (at the expense of its people) going towards making a bomb that most scientists agree was a dud.
Making a nuclear weapon takes extreme precision and careful refining. Just because Saddam had the material doesn't mean he had the ability or the resources to weaponize it. He may have wanted to do so, I don't know, but his ability to do so wasn't very likely.
The simple fact is that data is, in the end, ephemeral. If society broke down to a significant amount and all of our media was digitally stored, we might not be able to get to them as a problem of basic economics or (lack of) infrastructure. That's not true with the printed word.
I realize it's near heresy on Slashdot to have any sort of attitude even approaching Luddism, but societies, historically, collapse eventually and a lot of technology is lost.
Scans are great, but data formats change, hard drives crash, etc. I know lots of people with data on aging floppy disks that they just give up for dead. The magazine, if stored carefully, should last centuries.

restart my Airport Extreme is when I update the firmware. Otherwise it stays up and works without problems. I don't understand the question I guess.

worried about other people's sexual perversions? They have enough of their own to worry about as it is.

They'd better be anchor-proof.
Remember that YouTube is a private company. They can remove content at their discretion whether it is fair use or not.
So it turns something cheap and unreliable into something most people can't afford that doesn't perform well in crashes?

Polluting the environment and fireworks are the two things America does best. Why do you hate us?
considering the President is elected by the Supreme Court these days.
Ve haff vays of makink your computer talk.
Does that mean Sergey Brin has to kiss us all? Because I appreciate his geeky sex appeal and all, but I don't swing that way.
That is, unless you believe IBM cheated.
