Ah, you're mistaken on your first point. Satan was the one who wanted to drive Job away from God, by means of trials, when he had done nothing wrong. God allowed Satan to do this, because He knew that the trials would only strengthen Job's faith in Him later on.
Hell yes. Ever tried to copy some 1 meg network drivers from your networked computer to your test machine? Can't burn it(you could, if you were rich, but then you would have to burn one disc everytime you discovered your previous driver wasn't the correct one), so you use a floppy disk. Thoguh I now prefer USB keys for that job, sometimes the driver you need is FOR the usb, so obviously that wouldn't work. Floppys are still handy little buggers.
How the hell is this flamebait? He prefers his movies in Ogg, and if they aren't he won't buy them. I don't have a problem with that, and I'm not going to flame him because he likes a certain audio format better than another....
The Principle of Conservation of Energy(Also known by some as the First Law of Thermodynamics): "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed".
Taking that Law, we can now turn to the most famous equation in the world, E=MC^2. This states that Energy is equals to Matter, times the square of a Constant. Energy and Matter are interchangable: Energy can turn into Matter, Matter can turn into Energy. When combined with the Principle of Conservation of Energy, you get this statement:
"Energy AND Matter can neither be created nor destroyed."
Now that we have established that, we can turn to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states:
"All work processes tend towards a greater entropy (disorder/lower energy density) over time."
The universe is getting more disordered and more simplified, as dictated by the Second Law of Thermodynamics. However, the theory of Evolution has the basic principle that everything is getting more organized and more complex.
My arguments summarized:
1. The Big Bang cannot be true as it contradicts the First Law of Thermodynamics.
2. Evolution cannot be true as it contradicts the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
My opinion on the universe:
1. The universe started as a complex and orderly living entity, which, over time, began to expand. As it aged, it began to expand, and the life began to DEVOLVE until it reached our current state, humans. You can even witness this devolving process. Think. 10 or so years ago, we didn't have so many hurricanes, earthquakes, or other devastating natural disasters. People are becoming stupider by the day.
2. As for where the entire mass of atoms came from, either there is a God(which is possible), or the universe has always existed, and there in some incomprehensible way, time started a billion years back, and the universe came into existence with time. And remember this. There might be something larger than a universe...

That justs takes the energy wasting one step farther. What happens when you want to get OFF your sinking peice of road? Right, a bump.
Not only would it be rude and disrespectful, you would get your ass kicked by the vendor you asked, especially if they were male.
Mod parent insightful!
Yes you could. Oh yes, they've got my vote this election...
Unfortunatlely, we have no sence of speeling iether(i before e except after c, right?).
THAT would be why you only enable hard-wired computers to change the router settings....
Hmm, maybe thats my problem. I have hundreds of floppys around here....
Free tatoos?! I'm in....

That wasn't supposed to be funny...Its actually quite insightful.

Maybe we should start teaching kids critical thinking....
