    Isn't censorship pretty much the same thing as book burning. Google searches are now censored to some extent.

    It's just like what we are doing now is what the majority of people want to ensure their safety. Why do the want this? TV and now the internet is why? So take it how you want it, the outcome is the same either way.

    We'll maybe there are some but I haven't seen too many in person. I know either way, if I was being shot at, I wouldn't take chances, I would pray I nor anyone else would get hit. It might not work, but why take chances?

    It's probably less secure in the mobile market than any other smartphone. Yeah I get that. What I meant to say was by default sideloading is enabled on certain Android phones, which probably doesn't really matter much as most apps these days want rights to the moon.

    If Google wasn't so crazy about Java, it might make some difference. It's just one more way in.

    Funny, but not always true. For the big wars we use the draft. Show me any atheist that gets shot at enough times that isn't praying or at least hoping for something to save them?

    There isn't any evidence whatsoever but that proves nothing either way. For every answer we go out and find, it just leads to more questions IMO.

  12. Re:Evolution as a Creation on In America, 46% of People Hold a Creationist View of Human Origins · · Score: 1

    Did you ever think the Genesis tale was not meant to be taken literally? It's a warning about where technology without wisdom leads and I do think we only had stone tools until the plow was invented about 6000 years ago give or take. It's happened before and will again and again haha. After all it was Cane that plowed the ground, which leads to the rest such as cities otherwise hunting and gathering just takes too much space. Read it. It's a warning about technology. As far as I can tell that would be about the time we came out of Africa into Mesopotamia using technology which has grown exponentially every since to where now all life on the face of the earth is under threat by human beings.

    That's the difference between believing there is a God and religion which almost all of which you can't believe.

    I agree the universe was created from nothing, but how?

    Philosophy here: Both ideas are silly. Everything comes from something unless it always was. Math: Infinity. So a divine creator is maybe not as silly since we have evidence that the universe had a beginning and maybe therefore an end. So if there is a divine creator then it always was and always will be infinite. So yes in fact it can be both ways.

    In any case all of Apples patents have to do with look and feel, whereas Samsung has quite a few hardware patents.

    Well they just give you administrative rights. Since both IOS and Android are pretty much smaller unix/linux/gnu systems, it shouldn't be too tough to figure out. The developer tools will help you out here.
