[quote who="Dr Guy" comment="9"]Do you feel threatened by creationism?[/quote] I think i rejected the very idea of creationism itself when i was about eight years old, so no i'm not all that 'threatened' by it. What i am threatend by is the President of the strongest country in the world say we should teach both sides of the arguement, which in essence means we should teach Intelligent Design. This is a terrifying thought for me personally.

Hey KFC, good luck to your son with his studies (i'm personally all done with mine and now in a life of servitidue to my mortage lender hehe).

[quote who="Dr Guy" comment="3"] Why do evolutionists feel threatened by different ideas on origins?I dont think the real scientists are. Just the parrots that really do not understand it, but want to be with the "in crowd". Since they do not understand what they are parroting, they cant argue it, so they fear those that challenge them to it. [/quote] I'm sorry, was that aimed at me?

[quote] Why do evolutionists feel threatened by different ideas on origins?[/quote] ID, Creationisim, whatever you'd like to dress it up is so vigourously contested by many scientists because of the fact that it is trying to categorise itself as science. The notion that there is a god, and that the world (and the universe) is too complex to exist without their being a creator, is a philiosophical one (and people are quite right to believe in this if they so want to),

Reply to Why PC Gaming is Dying in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

I've actually been suprised at the number of games comming out that don't need uber machines actually. The obvious one that springs to mind is Sins of a Solar Empire, a perfect example of how a game can be beatiful, fun and run on low machines :). I can sorta see where your comming from, but only because these games are being developed by bad developers in my opinion. The top developers know that the higher the spec, the less people they can sell their game too.

[quote]And suddenly it is no longer a "pact" but but an "understanding".It may be true that the Zionists compensated Jews who fled from Nazi Germany. And indeed Israel adopted a similar policy towards Jews who fled from Arab countries. But that hardly makes it a "pact" or even an "understanding"[/quote] You used the word Pact, not me.

[quote]I also believe that this refutes evolution nicely.[/quote] I like to think that instead of having a 'thirst for god', we have a thirst for an understanding of where we are from, how things work, why they work that particular way etc. Now in the past, when we didn't understand very much about the world and the universe we live in, that religion provided a comforting explanation. The Sun would rise every morning because there was a sun god, and when there was a storm, it wa

I am not sure where you get all your lies from, but I don't think it is just the media. They don't report total lies like that but usually just omit facts or change parts of the story. I suggest you think about your statements before you make them. You are so found of maths? What a

My machine at work is turned on when i arrive in the morning and switched off when i leave. I don't really consider shutting it down as i'm a programmer and literally spend all day using it.

Good to hear mate, As i said in your other thread i spent 4 years in Eve and enjoyed most of it. The games got so much to offer and it some way's i'm jelous of you because you're got it all to discover. My advice would be, if you haven't already of course, as soon as you start to feel as though the game has given you all its had to offer, dive head first into PvP. Join an active PvP corp and start fighting. Eve's the only time i've ever had an Adrenaline rush from a game, and

Thanks Larry for the articles, i'll take a look at them. I know for sure that the media these days report wars and conflicts in a light that A) sells lots of stories and B) can often be used to motivate political agendas of news papers and their readers. I'm hoping on visiting the area myself in the future, an area that is the casue of so much tension around the world, i feel it's important to obtain a proper perspective of it. I doubt that i will fully ever come to

[quote]Anyway, Jewish population in "Palestine (Land of Israel)" (as the official name of the territory was then) was not 6% before 1948. It was more than 50% in the part that was to become the Jewish part.[/quote]. Well i think the key to your statement there is 'the Jewish part'. You could for example argue that in 1948, there was around 680,000 Jews living there in area's not including the west bank and gaza. If you use this assumption, were both wrong, it's more like 80% Jewish.</p

[quote]You accuse us of dishonesty?[/quote] Yes. I don't think many people will admit (whether conciously or not), that their view of the middle east is constructed almost entirely of news reports and news papers. This isn't always the case, but for most of us it is, myself included. How do i know that Settlements are built on top of former villages? It's simple Maths really. People moving to Israel needed a place to live. Prior to 1948 Palestines Jewish population was 6%. It is

Yes that's quite true, but at the same time we also commited many an attrocity. I guess you missed my point, a country can do good and bad if it is driven by religion, and likewise if it is not. To say that the USSR and Nazi Germany committed those attrocities because of lack of religious influence is contradictoary to that.

I'll be honest (unlike many people here) and admit that my view of Palestine and Israel is highly distorted by the media and as such i could quickly assume that the Israeli state has done little wrong during the entire conflict. All i know for sure is the following, Palestinenian settlements are buldozed down and in their place Israeli settlements are built. The rest of the stuff, for example who shoots who first is immeterial, why? Well quite simply because if a foreign govermen
