Giles ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I didn't think the religious right had much of a problem with the big bang. Or maybe that's just the Catholic church that's kosher with the big bang.
Depends on how far right. It's kind of against the view of the earth being 5000 or so years old, etc.
ETA; Well, this was too late.
Last week I told someone I felt that this administration was the most corrupt since Nixon.
I generally go with "since U.S. Grant," m'self. Grant's administration had that by the wealthy, for the wealthy feel to it.
NASA's IG is under investigation,
Wot's IG?
It's possible that the big bang is not really a concern of the administration, but this guy Deutsch-- whose decision-making skills can be fairly questioned at this point-- went too far in doing what he thinks would please the Executive.
Wot's IG?
That would be NASA's Iggy Pop clone.
Or possibly the Inspector General.
I like to compare them to the Warren Gamaliel Harding administration, because I can then reference H.L. Mencken's firebreathing essays about Harding's corruption and incompetence.
But many ID people disagree with the big bang too.
Maybe they go for M-theory cosmology with the idea of colliding four dimensional membranes in eleven dimensional space. (I apologize if I just butchered the actual theory, but I don't know much about it)
I think the ID people have wisely concentrated their efforts on proving all of biology wrong, before taking the larger step of proving all of geology and cosmology wrong.
It's important to take these things one step at a time, and not bite off more than you can chew.
Please, how hard is that to wank?
"And God said let there be light, and BANG!, there was light."
What, scripture can't have sound effects?
Please, how hard is that to wank?
"And God said let there be light, and BANG!, there was light."
That was kinda what I thought, a big bang gives a moment of creation. I still assert that the theory of gravity would be more problematic unless you are a calvinist.
David got it.
Basically the guy who you were supposed to go to when you had safety concerns , say like malfunctioning shuttle parts, and he was supposed to head up an investigation? Has been accused of squashing investigations, retaliating against whistleblowers, etc.
No previous experience in audits, but hey! he was an ethics lawyer for the White House General Counsel during this admin!
