Having looked at the evidence, I would argue that evolution is scientifically irrational, and Burly Man would see the round earth as scientifically irrational.

Re: Pumo Mines official release thread - Current: v1.1

I figured it out...Leaving "Enable custom weapons" unchecked causes the crash, it has to be checked to run. (I didn't think much of it because I thought having a mod with weapons in it enabled custom weapons anyway.) Probably the oddest crash I've seen so far out of XL so far.
