YES, you should point this out! But also point out that these theories explain observed phenomena much better than any others we have, which is why they're the currently accepted theories.
You could explain, for instance, how the Greeks thought that a force was needed to sustain motion; then Newton derived his three laws of motion, then Einsteinian mechanics modified these laws in "extreme" cases...
I agree on your thinking on so-called "Intelligent Design," but I believe that atheism (while possibly correct) is itself a faith.
How could one account for an omniscient, omnipotent god who does not wish to be found? Consider a fiction story that you write. Having created that "universe," you are its "god." If you didn't want the characters to be able to prove your existence, they would never be able to.
One major benchmark for how much I respect someone's beliefs is how readily they admit "...but I might be wrong."
How can anyone who's looked at the evidence believe this stuff? It doesn't require giving up faith in the deity of your choice, either. (After all, atheism is unprovable.)
What next, equal time in schools for the geocentric hypothesis, since that's alluded to in the "Bible," too? Really, people. Use some sense...
Convert a LEM into a lifeboat, work out the proper equipment sequence to keep the power drain down to a minimum level, determine the correct trajectory with a "computer" roughly as powerful as a modern wristwatch, cobble together some CO2 scrubbers to fit where they weren't supposed to, and save three lives in the process. Tops pretty much anything else I've seen.
Wouldn't there be a sanity savings from just sticking to one standard time? Nighttime to me just means you turn the lights on when driving. Since I tend to use about the same energy during the day and night, I don't see the point.
I'm working on a platform-independent speech-to-text system, complete with OCR technology. It's all based on a massively parallel implementation of biotech.
Now there's a good way to buy yourself some karma. Support the EFF. Well, either that or bankroll the fledgling space-travel industry.
Rather than the they're-getting-what's-coming-to-them attitude, though, the question about the RIAA would have been an ideal way of bringing up the possibility of artists' selling songs directly for very little money, still making a lot, and cutting out all of the unnecessary middlemen...

Syberia I and II...
...such anticompetitive behavior from Microsoft?!? Wow. Who'da thunk it?
at least I stil got my l33t h8x0r skillz!!!1!1!!!
They buy everything else in sight -- how much can the EU possibly cost, anyway?
Isn't that sort of app supposed to be CHECKING for trojans? Sheesh.
The last thing the industry needs is another VHS-vs-Betamax war...
...LONG LIVE COMPETITION!
I wish both AMD and Intel well. All the better for us. Lower prices and better performance.
Buying everything in sight instead of innovating seems so popular these days...
WOO HOO! It works!
I wish I hadn't used up my Moderator points -- but then again, I guess you can't mod a post "+1 SWEEET!", can you?

I subscribe to Adelphia's cable-Internet service;
...Does this mean I'm gonna become an AOLer?!?
It looks like Time-Warner will buy Adelphia;
NOOOOOOO!!!!
Spam in the can, anyone?

...he'll invent SlashDot!
...RoboTuna!
With deepzoom, Fractint can still keep modern PCs occupied for days on end...
Just imagine running Fractint on this puppy!
That'll put a damper on the whole Yahoo/Google merger thing!

...I'd rather have a Google Gulp! 8-)
"Student Engineers, grade hack" rather than "Student engineers grade-hack"...
I'd grade it an F. (She got caught.)
