I don't have anything against DVCS but I personally haven't switched from SVN.
I hear you... but after using Git for a few months at work for internal development using github; I DO have something against DVCS and Git. It is fast, and I recognize that it addresses a different use case than most VCS's (the D) and has advantages for distributed teams who may or may not ever merge. I also recognize continuous code integration suffers greatly and push's tend to be rare... separating (fragmenting) code base into multiple repo's disconnects the history and code relationship of your source tree, and basically, Git pushes agile dev teams away from each other and imposes many issues with code layout, etc. With SVN I can just check out the specific code I'm interested in, make my changes, commit and I'm done. Very helpful if your repo is a gig or more... and before you chime in, VCS's repo's should be large... if they are not then you most likely are not using your VCS to it's advantages... or... maybe are just really unproductive.
I've been trying to find a place to say this for a few weeks now, thank you for giving me the opportunity!

So, we have the scientific approach. Theories we can prove to be true, or likely to be true. Evolution for example is a widely accepted fact.
And then we have religion, which I will separate into two categories:
- Moral values and
- The existence of God
I'm not interested in moral values, to each his own.
As for the existence god, how can any rational scientist conclude that there exists a body of evidence to support this theory?
