In ~10 years of trying to find scientific evidence of just a single god the ID people haven't published a single paper. So now they attack the school system when their original mission (evidence) has failed.
I didn't dislike Deadly Shadows but it sure felt like "Thief in a Cheap Suit" The graphics were beautiful but the gameplay with 'zones' and claustrophobic settings really hurt it ie.: compare the size of any DS level with Life of the Party from T2. The real gem of DS was The Shalebridge Cradle. That level scared the crap out of me.
Thanks for mentioning Shadowman, I'll check that out.
LDAP is the "Lightweight Directory Access Protocol". (simplest example: Start typing a name in an LDAP email client and it will fetch matching names from the LDAP server.) Much more reading at http://www.openldap.org/
The summary said "shouldn't we be thinking about redundant power systems (or perhaps energy efficiency) instead?" Energy efficiency I can agree with but why mention redundant power? I can't see the connection. Redundant power won't help with increased power demands only with keeping the demand fulfilled when the main systems fail.
AH ok, you had me (semi) worried.;) That said, recall that the union website has been unblocked and Telus is facing some sort of action if memory serves. I agree with your second paragraph 100%; even if you think the message stinks you have no right to censor it.
In Canada Incumbant internet providers are already blocking the competition websites so consumers may not look. This is the kind of thing you will start by deregulation of DSL.
I'm in.ca and have never heard of this happening. There was the issue of Telus blocking access to a union website but that's not what you're talking about. Link?
Sure, Mac OS was a lot prettier but then it cost the moon and the stars along with both your arms and legs.
So I've spent away 4 moons, 8 arms and 8 legs. The lame "Mac is so expensive" argument holds little water. Yes, they were more money but it wasn't the huge gap between say a cheap Ford and a Mercedes. If they were really that bad the company would have folded years ago.
Plate tectonics? Please. It's a well proven fact. Accurate measurements from space have proven the slow movement of the plates. Are you seriously suggesting that Earth's surface, in its current form, has always been in that exact state?
how cosmological theory violates both laws of thermodynamics
Yes yes. You've already said that onc before. And as before I'm asking for just one credible piece of proof.
As to all the biological "stuff". I'll just rest it here by saying that bacteria have new generations much much faster than complex organisms, hence they mutate faster.
since to produce just the enzymes in one orgamism would take 10^40,000 trials
You're using that tired old statistic from the astronomer Hoyle? Look, DNA didn't assemble purely "by chance", it had to obey the laws of physics. If some particles weren't drawn to others, gravity wasn't just right, the planet wasn't within a specific range then it wouldn't have happened at all.
Now, this started when I pressed you for hard evidence that goes against the evolutionary process. You came back with a bunch of the same old excuses creationists put forth. The information is out there, we can play the game of pasting links all month which will accomplish nothing.
I've read the creationist information. And I've read evolutionary counters to each and every single point they put forward. In the end they always go back to "God just did it" which is really all you have to fall back on.
Now you claim "evidence goes against evolution in almost every situation anyway lol" Please provide factual, provable, scientific evidence against evolution. I'll wait here. And I suspect I'll be waiting a long time.

Equal Time For Creationism

· Score: 2, Insightful
The actual possibility of God existing is actually 50%, not 0%.
Nonsense. A number of options do not mean each option gets equal weight.
for example, a meteor may crash into my house tonight. Or not. That doesn't mean the chances are 50% either way.
If people believed in evolution, then natural selection is where its at. So, when people get sick or their organs are not sufficient, they change these things the best they can and allow weak inferior human animals to breed more weak and inferior animals.
Believing in evolution doesn't preclude helping others such as the sick or weak you mention. Doing so smells like something tried in the 30's and 40's by fellow with a funny moustache.
Do they believe in evolution? Yes. Do they believe in creationism? Yes, but with the same caveat I mentioned earlier in my own beliefs.
(The caveat being the belief that humans didn't evolve from other primates) My question is quite simple: what will these scientists (and yourself) think as evidence continues to mount that suggests humans evolved from other primates. Evidence to the contrary is never forthcoming (human skeletons in the ancient fossil records, etc)
That's where I have a real problem; when dogma interferes with the scientific method.

Kent Hovind? Is that you?
Scientific journals? Hey, even if they can't get a paper into a scientific journal that's wrong 50% of the time....

Great... watch the Creationist/Intelligent Design kooks run with this.
Nope, isn't that where their HQ is (or San Francisco)?
"Enchances"? Is that a word?
T2X was really well done, good call. And there's no blue-zone-warp-lameness as in DS :)
Thanks for mentioning Shadowman, I'll check that out.
System Shock 2 was amazing (as was the original) but we need MORE THIEF!

shouldn't we be thinking about redundant power systems
What? Two 1 kilowatt supplies? That'll save lots of power.. great idea!

Woo, nice extension. Thank you!

Those tired old arguments? Creationists need to come up with some new material:
