This just simply isn't true. Creationists make predictions all the time, and they are often simpler, more accurate and require less precise asteroid collisions to make them true.
For example, in this paper, Dr. Humphreys makes predictions for the strengths of the magnetic fields for Uranus and Neptune, well before these magnetic fields were measured by the Voyager spacecraft. His predictions were "right on," whereas the predictions of evolutionists were not.
Also, helium diffusion shows the earth to be 6000 years old. The levels of helium found by an evolutionist third party sent to an evolution-believing lab were correctly predicted by creationists, because they assumed that 6000 years worth of helium would have been lost.
There is plenty of good science (repeatable experiments) being performed by incredibly intelligent people that would tend to disprove facets of the theory of evolution. Looking at all the evidence relating to a theory is what my science book described as good science.
Not looking at some of the evidence because you don't like it smacks of medieval "earth-is-flat" behavior. The last time we did that, it took us 1200 years to advance science. That period was called "The Dark Ages". The only difference is that it is now the scientific community that burns heretics at the stake of career ruination...
Register.com is one of the best companies that I have ever dealt with. Not just in this area, but in any area. They are reasonably priced, have exceptional service and were the first company to have great web tools for managing everything. (Sure they charge $35 instead of $6, but what it buys you is worth it since you probably buy very few domain names.)
I don't receive any remuneration from this whatsoever. I am simply a happy customer that had run-ins with Network Solutions many years ago when they were a monopoly.
I worked at Radio Shack. We always asked politely and never had a problem with cash purchases with no data. That was the policy. Surprisingly, many people wanted us to put them in because they weren't getting the sale flyers after they moved.
Yeah, we should all be for censorship and ignorance instead!!! Yay, team!
We should never check out what they have to say to see if there actually is any scientific credibility to any of it. We should just be ostriches and bury our heads in the sand!
Because that's good science for you: only listening to one made-up story of something that happened eons ago... After all, it couldn't possibly have any flaws in it, even though nobody (except for, arguably, God) was there.
The "sex offender" registry hasn't prevented one crime against children, and has in fact caused more problems than it has solved.
There was a guy in our church that very gradually was getting friendly with the children. At one point, the child's grandmother looked on the Megan's Law list and saw his name on there. We (the board) asked him to leave the church and also to let us know what church he was going to so that we could inform the senior pastor that he should not be involved in children's ministry in any way.
He refused, but whenever I run into him around town, I always make a point of asking how he is doing and what church he's going to. Trust me, his current pastor is always aware that he is not to be involved in children's ministry or be around children...;)
The differences in charity between secular and religious people are dramatic. Religious people are 25 percentage points more likely than secularists to donate money (91 percent to 66 percent) and 23 points more likely to volunteer time (67 percent to 44 percent).
With Ubuntu releasing every 6 months and Windows releasing every 7 years, I am guessing that Ubuntu will catch and overtake Microsoft before the next release of Windows. After all, that's another 12 versions if you count Feisty Fawn and Gutsy Gibbon as the first 2. Ubuntu will be on Supreme Serpent or something. By then, clearly it will have surpassed Windows. How could it not? (Gutsy is amazingly close right now.)
It's just a matter of time before companies start asking their custom software providers for Linux versions. Once that happens (and the companies comply) it's all over for Microsoft, because companies will love to save millions on OS licenses. And with all Windows development going to.NET and with the maturity of Mono, switching will become very easy for the custom software provider. Heck, I have fairly advanced Windows apps that compile on Mono with less than 10 changes right now. It takes about 30 minutes tops for many well-behaved apps.
Microsoft has already lost in my opinion (unless they release a non-crippled successor to Vista within a year or two), it's only a matter of time.
What other industry is there that abuses their customers like this? I feel like I'm being accused of criminal activity from the first second I install a MS product now.
Prisons?
It's not as if Wikipedia somehow suddenly appeared on the internet without an Intelligent Design. It actually has a very Intelligent Design, that of allowing multiple intelligent creators to create the same articles together.
What, exactly, is evolutionary (as in formed by random chance processes) about Wikipedia? Do the bytes randomly change and form new words and then people decide which ones to keep? No. There are new creations which other people decide which ones to keep.
Actually, strangely enough, this exact sort of logic is used by Creationists to explain how starlight could be billions of years old on a 3 day old earth. One theory is that the universe was created out of a white hole, and the earth was in a 4 space dimension 0 time dimension position while billions of years of star formation and travel were happening (by the earth's reference clock).

I have the book. It's very interesting. The most interesting thing of all is that the math supports his premise and has gone unchallenged, meaning that it is physically possible that starlight could be billions of years old when the earth was only 3 days old, as long as earth was near the center of the white hole and exited toward the end.

Hmm, maybe you should have thought about that before making a public, written confession... ;)
Pi in the Bible As the article states, the Egyptians and others already had fairly accurate approximations of PI long before this passage was written.

Because it would be a sin. ;-)
It's interesting that you mark my completely legitimate, registered business completely with minus signs. I hope you get that fixed in the beta.

I mean, 60%-90% CPU cycles while doing nothing would be normal then, right?

If you are a competitor of these guys, simply forward people silently to one of their ports in a hidden iframe.
Bingo, permanent ban.

Yep, denying cash and gift cards for iPhones hasn't harmed anyone but criminals...
Very interesting.
they are one of the few companies on the planet that dont assume their customers are crooks...
See "Apple no longer accepts cash for iPhone"

Is that even a realistic possibility?
