I don't think most people will derive meaning and self-worth from being able to recycle some old Billy Crystal routine.
You're SO telling the wrong crowd. Old people in Korea might agree with you, but unless you're covered in hot grits and running BSD (dead) on a beowulf cluster of tinfoil hats, no one will listen to you. Evar.
Profit! from my advice.
if they don't have the spiritual backbone to decide right or wrong
What does spirituality (I assume that "spiritual" here refers to some sort of a belief in a non-physical power which is supposed to, somehow, provide an absolutely Right value system) have to do with deciding right or wrong?
Hmm. I may have just answered my own question. Why should *I* believe that one must be spiritual to decide right and wrong?
I view science as helping me understand God's creation and Word better. I don't try to use the Word to refute provable facts. God gave me intelligence so I could try to grok the difference, not run roughshod over anything new and mysterious to me.
Careful there, cowboy. This is slashdot. Calling Word a creation of any diety will get you burned.
I recently met a girl who chewed me out for accepting evolutionary theory. I was at first shocked, as I thought that the issue of evoultion and religion had been worked out. Then it really bugged me that she could be so backward and regressive in her thinking. Then I finally realised that none of it mattered, I was being just as closed-minded as she was.
But did you chew her out, back? C'mon, thousands of nerds want to know!
My ex girlfriend (yes, gasp, on/.) is a Christian, and although her mom was convinced that gay people are "simply sick" -- in a medical sense -- my girlfriend was more open-minded. Too, I've recently gotten in touch with an old friend of mine from high school, who is Christian, but is a GREAT thinker, and very open to all sorts of things. Some of her very best friends, for whom she has nothing but respect, are gay, and she's totally happy with that, and gives them NO problems, not even some sense of sadness for their choices.
It has totally blown my whole sense of right/wrong open-/close-mindedness to meet these Christians who are avowedly faithful, and who also genuinely are open minded about things like homosexuality.
Each girl has, to be honest, lost a lot of respect for most of the people claiming to be Christians, since these people are so hypocritical in many circumstances. Some would argue that this makes the girls "less Christian", but it only increases my respect for them, and their need to truly think about things.
This is where you vote for Breasts, only there doesn't seem to be an Enterprise edition out yet.

Yes, I've always found that a bit troubling. I can't decide if we're supposed to believe:
i) 10 has a higher value than 8; ii).10 has a smaller value than.2; iii) 2.8 +.2 = 3.0; iv) 2.8 +.2 = 2.1.
Of course, in the case of some unforunate releases, the addition of an even extention to an even extention results in an odd extention of a lower value, such as in some of the latest Mandrake releases. Those suckers should've been knocked back to version 4.15 or something.

Yeah, but did you notice that their slogan is "Making it simple"? If only! :)
Incidentally, my 8th grade science teacher looked almost exactly like Bill Nye.
Was her voice like his, too?
