if we aren't the most important species, then we should strive to become it. this won't happen if we sit on earth and don't make any attempt to fit other planets to our needs.
but wouldn't you think that an all knowing and wise god would have forseen our doubts and included something to prove he created the universe that is consistant with what is observed?
stuff like advanced placement tests are not a good solution.
i could not agree more, but for a different reason. all the ap classes i am taking this year (5) are "taught to the test." the teachers don't even try to hide the fact, the first day of class the ap US history teacher told us all we would learn only what will be on the ap exam.
and i hope to god that colleges do not read too much into my gpa or class rank, i have a 3.75 and i am ranked 40/300 in my class. at my highschool ap chem has the same weight as "cooking and you" (a actuall class).
My favorite teacher was my 10th grade biology teacher (last year). We learned all kinds of things, perhaps the most profound was when she explained the Big Bang "And after every planet formed there was a large explosion." That is how it works, isn't it?
and i forgot to type the rest of it (same page): "Blizzard will not, and does not have the capability to restore any deceased Hardcore characters. Don't even ask. La-la-la-la-la, we can't hear you..."
page 37 of the manual:
"Blizzard Entertainment is not responsible for the death and loss of your hardcore characters for any reason including Internet lag, bugs, Acts of God, your little sister, or any other reason whatsoever."
And in my school district you had to qualify for the gifted program by 2nd grade. i didn't get here 'till 3rd, now i get to take classes with people who get drunk durning passing time. i have never done homework, but my lowest grade has been 97%. if you want to fix education, don't give the retarded kids 2 teachers EACH, give at least some to the smart kids, and don't limit those teachers to the kids with the doctor parents.
