I thoroughly enjoyed the finale, along with the entire series. What I loved most about the show was the spiritual element it brought to science fiction. Usually we're given a shiny, perfect secular society with highly-evolved people (Star Trek, anyone?) who behave unrealistically. But Battlestar has...

Nothing about Darwin's theories disproves God; it's mere an explanation biological life that says nothing about God at all. Given the horrifically bad chances of life coming from non-life on its own, evolution seems to almost require some sort of supernatural intervention to be feasible. Unfortunate...

Which Joystick?
I'm hoping to start playing some Descent again soon, but I have a problem - I need a new joystick! I have a Precision Pro 2, but it seems to be broken. What's a good recommendation for a new stick? Sure the 3DPro is ideal, but since I'm using my Apple iBook, it has to be USB. I haven't been keeping ...

Unfortunately, YEC seems to have done far more damage to the Christian cause than the whole slew of new atheists and their mouth-foaming internet followers. It's not so much that I think the philosophy itself is harmful; it's that it is made a decisive issue rather than a peripheral one (such as the...

Krom: I'm one of those freaks who just loves kanji. I get all giddy every time some crazy-looking character pops up in my vocab lists or whatever. :P Listening is a pain in the butt, though.

I must be a total weirdo for preferring to learn words from lists - it's too hard to actually remember what a flurry of new words means without being exposed over and over again for a long-term period. Of course, this can work quite well if you're immersed in the language/culture. Since I'm learning...

Jeff, you raise a very interesting point. Any hand you're dealt is extremely improbable - but if you get a royal flush for three hands (sorry, I'm not very good at card terminology!) in a row, than although it's just as improbable as any other card combination, it's far more *remarkable* - anyone wo...

Undoubtedly the first of many massive disappointments Obama is going to deliver to the people who put him in office. I find Rick Warren annoying, but mainly because he panders pop-theology with little substance. He's certainly not homophobic, but there is a massive difference between opposing homose...

God created the universe via the Big Bang. Those who object to the Big Bang on theological grounds are shooting themselves in the foot, because it's of incredible significance that we see the universe began to exist, rather than existing infinitely. The multiverse hypothesis strikes me as a monument...

Kent Hovind is widely considered to be absolutely bonkers by both sides of the debate - even Answers in Genesis and hyper-conservative independent baptist Pensacola Christian College have distanced themselves from him! Not to mention that he got himself thrown in prison for tax evasion and other uns...

MD-1118, your reactions to the Bible seem based more on knee-jerk reaction than any actual study or knowledge on the subject. It was translated multiple times to and from several different languages - I find it hard to believe that nothing of great import was lost throughout the years. There are tho...
