... Most of you get a up in arms when creationists insist that the earth is only 6000 years old, because that's an imposition of religion on to science...
There is nothing wrong with religion commenting on science as long as they have experimental data to back it up and open their results up to peer review etc...
However, anyone is entitled to comment on religion. It is a matter of belief. I need no data to make my beliefs about the bible known. Religion has no rigorous system for understanding the bible/qu'uran/book of mormon etc...
I think we are saying the same thing. If science proves the existence of anything that was previously the domain of religions (including god) then it is no longer a matter of belief, no longer a matter of religion.
In fact, if science proves the existence of god then religion dies as religion relies on belief in god not in the actual existence of god.
Just a thought. If the original article is the same George Dyson I'm thinking of (inventor of the Dyson vacuum), he was probably at the TED talk I just posted.
The TED talk is dated a few months before the story.

Had you watched the video, you would have realised that the clever thing is the storage and retrieval systems not the method of collection.
It is very good at analysing images, video and audio and extracting the semantics and the connections between data.
It is also very good at searching the collected data.
The next step would be to collect the data automagically and store the data on a disk carried about your person.
His cell-mate would be out on his visit so he would get to use the magazine this time.
Dude, /. Never RTFA! /. Never RTFA!

It actually works the other way. The council I work for commissions the arial photography and sells it to google.
True, to an extent, until the results of their scientific endeavours started conflicting with "biblical truth"
It does in this context

WTF!?! The earth goes round the sun? Sheesh, where have I been all these years.

Oops. My Bad. I suppose a quick google search would have sorted that. [:ashamed:]

I was watching this video just yesterday. It seems pretty relevant.
The next 5,000 days of the internet
Yeh, but not the parent. [CTRL]+C, [CTRL]+V.
So, mod me -1 statin' the bleedin' obvious.
This could mean a whole new era for communion wafers.

All I was really saying by "Oh really? It must be true then" was that when it comes to religion it's all a matter of belief, not fact.
Oh really? It must be true then.
Yep, it's insults all the way down.
Oops, "transmitter". My Bad.
And the TV transmitors are switched off on Sunday.
Actually, come to think of it, isn't the guy who switches off the transmitor on Sunday, working on a Sunday?
WTF?!? Sorry, I don't have time to even start replying to this drivel.
Maybe I will this evening when I get home if I can be bothered picking through the blatant holes in the arguments.
Deuterocanonical books from the Jerusalem Bible. The catholic church's official bible.
