So while your article implies intelligent and influential scientists don't believe in God, a number I personally hope to decrease, the study of medical doctors shows a strong number of people with faith. I would say that medical doctors have 'scientific minds', which would dispute your second to last line.
No, most doctors don't have a 'scientific mind' as you call it -- and obviously neither do you, if you think they do.
On a related note, I don't think that it's fair to use the National Academy of Science as the survey pool. People who have made it into the NAS have devoted at least 90% of their waking energy to the scientific fields are not consistent with most kinds of faith anyways. As a Christian, there are things more important to me than scientific success. I have had dinner with many biochemists in the academy and family/friends/life/etc comes a distant second to their career. So I would suggest that these results are completely consistent with their life style. I would like to see a survey of PhD scientists or professors at a variety of universities, those results would be much more of a mixed bag.
You're right on that one.
Many 'scientists' here at my university are mildly religious. But of course, you can't be truly scientific if you believe in a god or some other nonsense in those lines... But you see, it's like the difference between being a True Neutral and not.
Can we blame European civilians for sitting idly by while millions and millions of Jews were exterminated? Looking the other direction as their friends and neighbors were carted off one by one and incinerated?
Inaction when aware of a crime is condemnable.
If Abu Ghuraib is the worst we've done (not to make light of it, it was bad) than I'm not overly worried.
That is very sad. So, only because PeopleKilledByNazis > PeopleKilledInAbuGhuraib means you don't have to worry about it? It just doesn't "overly worry you"?
That is exactly the mentality I was repudiating in my first post.
The cool thing about us in the US is, we do something about it. We will vote this guy out of office and we won't pretend it didn't happen.
I really hope that happens so.
And we openly confront his BS rather than turning away and pretending it doesn't matter.
Anime is one thing, but bringing this idea to life as a jet powered aircraft which could potentially take the life of the person piloting it in some, not too pleasant ways is yet another.
Man, you're forgetting something of the utmost importance... They are Japanese.
Correct me if im wrong but the isnt the fourth dimension time? If so then any game with any sort of time capability is in fact using the fourth dimension. Therfore games using the fourth dimension are ancient.
Well, not exactly... though you can understand time as a dimension, that doesn't mean it has to be the dimension what I meant was a game with four spatial dimensions and it probably would have time as a fifth one...
Note that time in 2D games is actually the third dimension and not the fourth (like in "real life")

Yup, except mine, of course.
Well, may be, but MPAA equals RIAA modulo bullshit anyway ;-)

Hail.
PD: Don't mind my .sig, *it's a joke*
That's so totally cool,
I could hack into one of these boys and have it as my sexual pet!
Can't you see the genius in it???
That sounds like a discrete vectorspace...
It's quite easy, you see, we can define a sum like...
p + q := ( (p1+q1) mod h , (p2+q2) mod v )
Where h is the amount of pixels per row, and v is the amount of pixels per colunm.
Then
:= ( (c*p1) mod h , (c*p2) mod v )
c*p
And That's it!
Ouch! Thanks! I'll be taking note of that.

That, I admit, seems true. And it is good.
Yes, that's true.
But it is true for ALL goverments to some degree (yes, your's too (your's specially, if you are american)).
The fact that the chinese comunism stinks so bad doesn't mean America's Imperialism smells like flowers. It doesn't.
omfg, this is too mucho... I mean, Sao Tome, come on, Ranma Saotome! I've got to go there some day, just for the hell of it's name.
False, false, false!!!
Anyone who has seen Neon Genesis Evangelion knows that the Second Impact was on 2000 in the North Pole!
Man, you're forgetting something of the utmost importance... They are Japanese.
No no no, I want my EVA and i want it *now*
I'll think about that problem when I have my optic implants running with linux :)
I, for one, welcome our new Mac OS/X Overlords!

the funny part was "15 years ago" right? anime is older than thou! the fact that americans are still watching dragon ball is entirely the Boss's fault
You know what? when everybody starts selling 4D games there will be someone like you asking what happened to those good old 3D games...
not impossible, inevitable.
