Yes, they are. The definition of Christian would be one who follows Christ. Jesus said that he did not come to abolish the law and the prophets but to fulfill them. He did nothing but support the idea that He (as God) was there in the beginning. For as John said, In the beginning was the Word, and the word was God, and the Word was with God.
The problem is that the entire Bible hinges on the fact that God used 6 literal days to create the earth. Any other view than this destroys the foundations of the Bible, and the rest of our belief. And it is because of that that true Christians must reject the idea of evolution.
The thing they forgot to point out, is that this is not the view of the Christian church at large. There are "Christians" in name, and there are Christians in practice. Just because a bunch of "Christians" claim that Darwin's theories (because they are no more than that) are compatible with Christianity does not mean that they are. I would have to say that most Bible believing Christians totally disagree with Darwin's views.
Hey, let's be frank, it takes just as much faith to believe in the fact that evolution exists as it does to believe that God created the world. Now, when Magneto, Wolverine and Jean Gray show up, let me know, 'cause that would put a big monkey wrench in the works. But until then, I challenge you, show me one case where a mutation added any information to a gene pool.
I heard of a guy this same sort of thing happened to. He got a picture of his car speeding. So he took a picture of $100 and sent it back. The Police must have been in a good mood, because they sent him annother letter with a picture of handcuffs in it. The guy paid his bill
Actually the feds always need a warrent unless there was a crime currently being commited, etc. Kudos to her. The other thing most people don't realize is, is that the FBI cannot even investigate a case unless it is a federal crime. So, if the FBI showed up accusing me of stealing from a store down the road and requested I open my house. I could not only deny them entrance, but I could also inform them that even if I did break into the store down the road, it is not a federal crime and so they cannot even investigate it.
I heard of a guy who did that. This guy was protesting Clinton comming to WI with some guy from China. And he was holding a sign, next the road the president was comming down, that said somthing to the effect of "Go back to China you commie". He was stopped by a FBI agent who instructed him to leave the area due to security reasons. He looked at the agent's badge and replied, "This is a public sidewalk, and you are a federal agent. Federal agents have no jurisdiction (sp?) on city owned property". The agent left the guy alone. There was nothing else he could do unless the man commited a federal crime.
If they made it so that you could somehow rip your Xbox games onto it, that would be a killer device. Halo on a handheld with wifi. Killer app right there.
I'm originaly from the North (Wisconsin) and up there everyone is White, but there is no racism (unless you are in the inner city). If you are walking down the street and a hispanic or black crosses your path its like (wow, don't see many of them around). But that's as far as it goes. I have yet to hear anyone up north make a bad comment about how the minority groups work, intellegence, etc.
Then I moved to the south. What a switch. It's not quite so bad here in east Texas, but South-East US, it really bad when it commes to racism. If it's anywhere from name calling to out right hate it's totally different.
One thing I heard a preacher say the other day that really hit my heart. Sure we may not like racism, and we may not have "colored" busses and restrooms anymore, but what more are we doing? Sure most of use whites on this forum may not hold any mallice to the blacks, but why is it that most blacks are still in the poverty level? You could say that it is part of their choice. Drugs, etc. But I say what are we doing to help them out? In essence we are still a very racist country, but our sin is not a sin of commission but of omission. It's not what we do, but what we don't do.
That being said. If I was hiring jobs, skin color doesn't matter. Confidence and knowledge is everything.
If you take a look, at the G4 chip, you have 0.27 performance per watt. The G5 is 0.23 performance per watt. It kept us from doing what we wanted to.
So what on earth is a performance? Please, if your are going to give stats, at least specify the units for the stats. What on earth is performance anyway? Does this mean better FP or integer math? or does it simply mean that it can shove data through faster. SGI systems were slow when it came to FP math, but only a idiot would have called them "low" performance back then. Their bandwidth was awesome.
Oh, the irony. A review of a Intel Highend processor by "Hot Hardware". All we need now is a review of the Athlon X2 by a group called CoolTech or somthing.
Is it just me, or have these people been watching Aeon Flux a little to much? Haven't seen the movie, but the scene from the trailer of the hundreds of explosive balls running down the hall comes to mind.
Xbox360 looks cool and all, but if Sony will allow us to develop with 1-2 Cells in Linux on the PS3 unmodded, they just got one buyer.
I'm a pretty heavy gamer (8-12 hours a week), but would never buy a dedicated machine for it. But the specs on the PS3 are way to good to pass up. Seeing most of my programming work these days revolves around video editing, the PS3 sounds to good to pass up. Get a Cell machine and a killer gaming console, all in one for
I would normally agree with you here, however, I figure if some have the right to propagate their views of pornography or whatever they like, I should be able to express my views of "intolerance", as you put it.
And yes, I do talk to God on a regular basis, and he with me. And I do know his exact views on the subject of homosexuality. I agree that "Blindly following something is never wise" and that is the very reason why I have scripture, and personal experience to back up every view of morality that I have. The Scripture does instruct us after all to "have an answer to every one who asks of us a reason...". If you would care to discuss this at length we could begin a e-mail discussion.
The mantra of the "Christian" Homosexual movement is that the Bible does not condemn such acts. So, I'm basically using my sig as a way to express a different (and the correct) view on this issue, and stating that God finds such acts totally offensive.
And now feel free to mod me down as being off topic.
We have a X terminal server here at work that uses vservers. Doing it over again, we would probably use Xen as opposed to vservers. The vserves have weird bugs once and awhile. Such as processes not being able to talk to eachother for nor apearnent reason. The entire system will work fine for weeks, but once and a while there will be a problem that nothing short of a restart of the vserver will fix.
If Xen works, and you aren't short of resources, use Xen by all means.
Thank you for the comments. However your argument is flawed by a misunderstanding of the Bible. I could go into a lengthy discussion here about how OT law applies (or doesn't apply to us today), but that would be considered off-topic. But I will change my sig to express the same view from the NT.
Yes, I do realize that there are many so called "gays" on Slashdot. However, since I found several of their sigs to be offensive, I thought I'd follow suit.
At any rate, sometimes the truth hurts. But it is still the truth.
Madison is wierd.

I'm from Wisconsin, and this just confirms the saying we have in the state:
"Madison: 12 square miles surrounded by reality"
What about the latency? Anything higher than 5-10ms is noticable to the human ear. So, this is great for music or PA systems, but will not work for stage productions where going from analog into a sound card, to a A/D through the ethernet connector through the cable, D/A converter and out through the amp will take more like 20ms. Worthless for stage and live events.
Point taken. Sorry about that guys. To be frank, I ran into this article on company time, and didn't have much time to read the article. Basicly I just read the headline and posted the question more to spark a conversation than anything else.
But what type of stem cells are they? I have yet to hear of embryonic stem cells ever working in a situation like this. Adult stem cells yes. That's the thing that makes this whole debate about the embryonic stem cell research null and void.
Any comments by someone with a little more knowledge than me?
It's funny how most of the population appears to disagree with you. The movies were smash hits. Why? Not because they followed (or didn't) the classic spiderman story, but because the character seems so much like us. Superman has always (and will always) be a stupid story, why? Because he's perfect. But with Spiderman, we see that Parker must go through the same thoughts and struggles that we all go through.
Sure, it's different than the books, but could it be the books that have the trashy plot?
First of all, let me say that Spiderman has never totally followed the comics. So any diversion here is nothing new. But hey, who cares? Spiderman 1 & 2 are still my top two favorite movies. This comming from a guy who never read the comics. If they director can make it look beleiveable and have a story, it will rock. That's what the other movies had. A great storyline.
As far as the Sandman thing goes, aleph.com says that spiderman and sandman were allies. What if they make it so that you have a Spiderman & Sandman vs. Hobgoblin & Venom?
Another thing I always wanted to see in these movies is have a villian come out of nowhere, trash the city a bit, and then have Spiderman come in and beat the snot out of him in 5 minutes flat. And have all that as the opening of the movie. Why do the battles have to last for 10 minutes with Spiderman almost dieing each time. If he's smart at all, he should have way more experience at the whole superpower thing by now.

Having just watched "Sky Captain and the World of Tomarrow" yesterday, hearing these announcements is a big freaky.

Anyone should know that each planet takes only one year to orbit it's star. It may take more or less earth years. But that's beside the point.

Really, it's sad when I see Darwin and think Mac.
