  1. DEATH by VIEWPOINT on New Mexico Drops Creationists, Decides to Evolve · · Score: 1

    I doubt it, but I guess that's religious bias.


    THANK GOD THAT WE ARE NOT MOST OTHER COUNTRIES WITH RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS.

    MANY, MANY PEOPLE DIE (DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE) AS A CONSEQUENCE OF HOLDING A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW IN OTHER COUNTRIES BASED ON RELIGION


    LITERALLY I THANK GOD THAT I LIVE HERE IN THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!!

    Do you score your own. I cannot believe your comment here achieves more than a 1, so it must be bias by you or another biased soul.

    true, in this context

    but i pretty much believe that it is rather difficult to propose creationism in a scientific context

    it just does NOT muster the required experiemental evidentiary requirements

    No, but it is often (almost always) claimed by Christians that the "good book" contains EVERYTHING.

    I thought that I should point out that the Bible does NOT do a very good job of predicting the Internet NOR the computer. That is, the bible is a collection of very old stories AND NO MORE THAN THAT.

    I.E., SHOW OTHERWISE PLEASE.

    Neither way is TELLING PEOPLE WHAT TO THINK. One way says what science supports, the other (Creationism) NOT. And that is it.

    Do Not Say That Science Supports Creationism (OR Even Imply It -- That Is Bad!!!!!!!) ... !!!!!!!

    Science Says Evolution.

    Non-Science Says NOT.

    Science is WAY more likely since it is based on THE WORLD AROUND US!!!!!!!!

    Science does NOT think.

    Science uses a method to determine truths under that method.

    Science backs up evolution more than any other explanation out there (correct me if I'm wrong), but God is still easily possible under evolution, and whether or NOT the bible is included, science works better than creationism on ANY LOGICAL (OR ALBEIT SANE) PLAYING FIELD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There have been similar efforts by other (and the same) state -- but they are NOT at my fingertips right now and I will not take the time to research them again (I remember finding out about them when I researched PI a while ago).

    PI==3 by a state's legislature IS NOT a FALSE idea. This has happened before, and considering Kansas' silly choice, by analogy (extension/metaphor) it has happened AGAIN!

    Why do these people insist on IGNORING the evidence?

    You should not tell us that we should feel sad.

    That is not your place or right to command.

    The greatest eulogy is that we are discussing his life and work. A remarkable man has passed and now we discuss his accomplishments on an Internet bulletin board something that did not exist or was even considered a possibility when Huffman was born.

    Huffman's passing does not represent anything in the CS field; it is his LIFE which does!

    I am not sad he is dead.

    The same does NOT apply to guns.

    Does anyone here know about firewire?

    How does firewire compare to SCSI?

    My understanding is that it's a new development with very fast transfer rates, such that it's used for digital video transfer and other data intensive applications.

    I don't know if it's"cheaper-than-scsi"?

    Can RAID things be done with firewire?
