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?

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!

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.

But seriously, there are those on the religious right who want all science to be bible-based.

I'll dig up some cites when I get a spare moment....

I understand the urge to do anything, including lie, to rise to great heights. It's the idea that you're not going to be looked at closely that boggles me. Subtler lies, people!

Missed the latte. Was late in fact. Fires somewhere and tremendously crap traffic.

I'm waiting for the administation to appoint a Cylon to be in charge of Department of Computer Defense Against Alien Attack.

Really, all the Cylons had to do was give a bunch of money to Bush's reelection campaign....

ID and young-earth creationism are not the same thing. AFAIK, ID does not exclude big bang theory, because god could be behind that too. ID also professes support for *some* evolution.

I think that many of the ID folks are saying what they think they can get away with, not what they believe. And that a lot of them don't fully understand what the core theories say, they're just attracted to the idea because they think it disproves Darwinism.

Gah. My brain is totally not working today. I spent the last hour and a half fixing a problem, but I kept on making these mistakes (testing using the wrong function, etc.) It really should have taken me less than half an hour.

Now I feel bad that we bill by the hour, so our client has to pay extra because my brain is not working well.

Oh well, they save money when my brain is working extra-clever-like, right?

This is what fascinates me. Here we have an administration that wants to invade the privacy of American citizens without a warrant, but they can't be bothered to check the resume of a political appointee who will be working in an agency that does work with clear implications for national security. Morons.
