Good point. I must've been thinking of Adam and Eve.
Yep.
I will point out, just in case you're interested, that Lev 20:17 in the KJV is mistranlated, and says "it is a wicked thing". It is a mistranslation because the word itself has no such meaning. It possible means "shame" here. Though, the normal translation is "kindness". IOW, brother and sisters is a no-no, but it's a kindness nonetheless. How? As you pointed out, Adam's children married each other. Because we all come from one family there is less rivalry. Can you imagine if there were different strains of humanity?
I've never gotten a satisfactory answer to the question of why God could not have created man to evolve.
Noone says He didn't. It's just that the span of time allowed by the Bible, and the span of time required by Evolutionists do not coincide.
There is evidence that species have come and gone from this world
Actually--and i will split hairs here to make a fine point--there is evidence of alternate species, but there is no evidence that they have come or gone. The "coming and going" part is a theory that passes Science's threshhold of reasonable doubt, and is accepted omn that basis. But it would be prudent to note that this is where Science begins to diverge from other disciplines, and that, ultimately, it is based on opinion, not evidence.
Why is it so inconceivable that man would have been made to adapt to his surroundings in similar ways?
In minor ways it is pretty much accepted that people have sdapted. I don;t think anyone argues that point. But the termed "evolved" infers (rightly or not) that a new stage has been reached, and that is inconvable to Creationists who believe that man was made in His image, and while adaption is good, evolution would be bad.
The main point is that she is a researcher, and she was doing research. So "researcher" is the more appropriate term.
Saying "research" discovers something conveys that understanding can yeild success. Saying "science" discovers something conveys that Science discovers things.
The former promotes study, the latter a religion. If we were dealing with predictions, "scientist" is usually the more appropriate term, because a reasearcher predicting is a guess based on experience, a scientist predicting is the application or evolution of theories (via the Scientific method). So, i'd take a scientists prediction with more weight than that of a researcher.
However, when it comes to discoveries, scientists have a bias towards the Scientific method and may have a bias toward current theories. A researches simply researches.
This applies to a drug as well. A scientist saying he found a drug could easily be an application of theories. A researcher saying he found a drug means he took notes of and shows actual application.
To the point, the researcher finds the empirical evidence that the scientist uses. They may be the same person (as is the case many, if not the majority of, times). But they are definitely different roles. And the term in the article was referring the the role, not necessarily to the person.
and arranging the headline this way illustrates this a lot better than a strictly accurate one would.
But the headlines conveys that she was annoyed that a drug was found. That's not why she was annoyed at all. She was annoyed because her specimen was destroyed. When she put two and two together (via prodding) and realized that the compund worked she was very happy. So, to meet your goals the headline should have read "cancer killed in accident; researcher annoyed", but even that would be sensationalistic.
Um, no. The "Scientist Annoyed" came first. Indeed, had she not been annoyed she it may not have been brought to her attention that she suceeded.
A scientist was frustrated
And stop saying scientist. She is a researcher. The articles calls her a researcher. I'll bet she will even call herself a researcher. And, she is relevant because she was researching.
What exactly is "futuristic research"? Are they working on a time-machine? Or perhaps theories are being composed to explain models we know will soon exist?
Yes, it does bother me. As does every article about researchers being called scientists. Let's reports the news, not opinions or bias.

4th. Slashdot was overrun by kiddies, so moderators were added to help the signal/noise ratio. Well, kiddies became moderators, and made the noise even more noisy.
5th. Meta-moderators were added to slashdot to keep the moderators in check. Well, the meta-moderation turned out to be so annoying, many good moderators didn't bother, which removed them from being moderators, making the kiddies have an even stronger say.
Then again, lets attack the real beast.

And now, generations later, we're the result of Noah's sons and daughters having sex with each other to repopulate the Earth.
The Bible does not list Noah had any daughters. It does however list Noah and his wife, his sons and their wives.
You may make fun of it if you'd like, but at least don't misquote it. Otherwise, you're no different than the people you purport to be against.
Don't most routers--also by default--require a physical link from the inside to administer in it?
Well they were running Unholy Hell 1.0 and found a bug...
:)
Must have been working at Volksvagen.
Does it come with the fishtank screensaver?
they raised holy hell
I'm not sure which is more amazing, that they made Hell holy, or that they raised it.
Considering though we're talking about Microsoft, i'm not sure it needs to make sense.

Last I checked, scientists researched things to figure out how they worked.
:)
Guess you never watched The Adventures of Superman, or the Simpsons.
To them, Scientists invent things, and than try to figure out why it worked.

Anyone want to guess how long before "qubit" gets compressed to "quit"
Actually, people "quit" "Q-Be(r)t" a decade ago. Hmm.. quantum machanics is funny that way.
(as "bigit" became "bit" in the last century)?
No, bigots still (unfortunately) play a very large role.

Of course, McGyver could then use anyone's phone.

Ooh.

1) Has anyone written a TCP/IP implmenetation via implanted RFID chips?
2) Does it run Linux?

Space Potato Hits the Streets
In other news, everyone in China ate mashed potatoes for dinner.
Officials from the space programme, which creates enormous national pride in China, say it has produced a number of mutated fruit and vegetables.
Could it be that Mr. Potato Head is really just an incredible tuber of a cultivated Chinese plan come to spy on US, and Canada?
