The debate isn't about if ID is a possible explanation, it's about if it's science or not. Science isn't about if a theory is "viable" or not, it's about if it's predictively useful. ID is _never_ predictive. Therefore, it is NEVER science. Therefore, it's validity in a philosphical sense isn't relevent in deciding if it belongs in a science class or not. Nobody in science would care if ID was some kind of cultural religious movement - it's the IDer's who want it recognized as science that are sirring up the kettle.
"The same Spirit that was in Jesus of Nazareth inspired the writers of the Bible. As all Scripture is inspired in this manner, Jesus (the man in which God lived) did not have to say those things himself."
You do realize this makes no sense, right? You're saying anything in the bible is as though strait from Jesus' mouth, because the bible authors say so and if it wasn't so it woudln't be the scripture? If I were to be inspired to rewrite and add to the bible, because the holy spirit moves me to do so, would you accept that as cannon? Or do I have to live 1700 years ago and trip on ergot while reading about Jesus's life to get to add stuff? I'm sorry to bug about this, but as a nonchristian who is nonetheless very fond of Jesus as a prophet, I feel like the idea that all the bible is his message is basically putting words into his mouth.
I find the mutilations performed on many dog breeds through selective breeding to get desired characteristics vastly more shocking, as these are theoretically animals we want to care for and share our lives with, rather than devour, yet we have no problem making them vulnerable to many horrible ailments, preventing them from seeing or hearing properly, etc.
Actually, no, not in major media, they pretty much gloss over the mass deaths of iraqui civilians in US military manuvering, explaining them away as casualities from the rival groups within iraq and a tiny number of actual unfortunate but unavoidable incidents that are part of the reason we're fighting for a democratic iraq.
Yes, the kind of fag that likes getting head to the balls from his GF, trust me thats much nicer for both of you without hair... you must really have homosexuality on your brain all the time, to even make a connection.

Slightly sugary water definaly seems to help with heat, though regular water does not. I used to eat a lot at this place near white planes, called Hubba Hubba - I think it was actually in the town of Rye, NY. They made texas style chili, and they made it beanless and HOT, and as a greasy spoon type restraunt, offered a version of nearly every item of their limited menu with a "chile and cheese" option. They also served, free of charge, "Hubba Water" - which was 10% hawaiian punch of the soda fountain, just enough to give a sweetness, and 90% water. And for some damn reason, it's the best thing for quenching dragon mouth, which the chili dishes invariably gave. Hubba has to be one of my favorite all time restraunts, and I'm a person that can appreciate expensive taste in food.
I never remembered the table in early gradeschool when they tried to make me memorize it, but once multiplication was part of algebra problems, I ended up looking up or deriving enough of it often enough that 95% of it I memorized anyway by the time I passed sequential one math in HS.
Modeling studies usually use observation of a violent activity, rather than participation in it, possibly for the reason you mentioned, that you're so tired afterwords you don't want to do a bloody thing.
All exposure to violence leads to more violent behavior afterwords. Show me that video game violence results in more violence than violent sports, and it will show that video games are a "new problem" - until then, I think they're just more and the same of the type of violence america loves and there's no reason to scapegoat them specifically.
all observation of violent behavior leads to increased violent behavior afterwords. SHow me that the video games cause more than a rough football game, and you'll have something someone should care about.
I'm not sure I'd say there is no such disease - I just think we classify people not able to control their own focus and concentration past a certain point as having a distorder, much as we classify people over a certain body weight as obese. An obese person might have a hormonal condition causing it, or they might just be a little to fond of Chili's Babyback ribs, but classification is the same. It certainly isn't a disease in the germ sense, it's more considered a classification of a person past a certain point on a spectrum to people trained in this type of thing.
I also object to the parent's use of "conquest."
Our friendly relations with the simple, stone aged people of planet Khalet, while they may seem harsh, will eventually bring these aliens our human ideas of civilization and technology, which will doubtless serve them much better than their Eden planet ever could have....
I think families avoiding female children in china, by whatever means, will be a self correcting problem. Men comming of age will start to notice a scarcety of women, and through scarcity their percieved societal value will increase, hopefullly changing china's culture in a beneficial way.
They would NEVER threaten that ban - in fact, I'd say microsoft threatening to totally withdraw product sales and support from europe would be more a threat to european interests than microsofts.
My father once ran in quickly to do just that, and they start asking him for name, addy, digits, everything - he stared at the clerk for a couple seconds and then repeated "just these batteries" and blinked until the guy rung him up and took his 5$.
Flacing files only about halves their size, most people won't bother with another format at all for so little. I only bother to use it for archieving large quantities of recordings I can't get again on DVD.
As mentioned in my original post, I don't think it's lazyness - I think enforcers want us to all be doing something illegal at all times so they have vastly expanded powers over the citizenry compared to what the constitution actually allows.

http://www.vhemt.org/ I think the concept is amusing, but naturally defeatist, to say the least.

Remember, Thog, NEVER smoke the blue plants before hunting! Thats where grandpa Thurg got the spear scar on his left knee...

Perhaps an allergy to the actual protease used in nair...

On this note, do not take a leak in the woods if what you were just passing MIGHT have been poison ivy, even if you were just near it not touching it.
Really? I have very sensitive skin to most things, I can can leave nair on for nearly a half hour without any soreness and get total hair removal.

What about the Mazda gasoline-hydrogen hybrids? Seems to be solving a different problem with the same solution.
A clip watch on my beltloop is best, nothing around my arm in my way and the time is always accessable.
