mr. flea has a coworker in grad school - actually she defended her PhD and now has a university teaching job - who doesn't believe in evolution due to her religious background. mr. flea and his colleague are both environmental engineers, and the coworker's dissertation was specifically about genetic algorithms - mathematical equations THAT MIMIC EVOLUTION as they iterate towards finding a solution to the problem. I never was rude enough to ask her how she held these two ideas in her head at the same time (maybe she just has a very partitioned brain).

I even found out what kippers are!

The all-time greatest breakfast food EVAR?

ETA - I've yet to meet a Creationist archaeologist, but I've heard they exist. Like yer man, I think they'd get fired pretty quick though.

The all-time greatest breakfast food EVAR?

I could not find out how one EATS them for breakfast, however.

Do you heat them up? Put them on toast? With scrambled eggs? Are they just the fish alternative to bacon or sausage or do they have some special presentation?

BTW, you anchovy haters are crazy; they're no grosser than bacon. And DELICIOUS whole. Also, I sympathize with you broccoli haters, but you would not believe how almost creamy this broccoli turned out. I microwaved frozen bits, then cooked it over slow heat with garlic and anchovy that had been browned in oil for about fifteen minutes. I don't know how that made it so delicious -- maybe it's the oil and garlic-- but DAYUM it was so much better than I expected.

I like broccoli, but I'm allergic enough to it that I don't eat much.

I know a creationist with an MS in Biology, but no PhD's. This one pretty much did it by just deciding to ignore the parts he didn't like, which gives me no great confidence in his department (nor in his honesty).

The best thing that broccoli has going for it is that it's not cauliflower.

Butter is your food accesory for kippers. I usually stick them uder the grill with a load of butter. Some people just stick them in the microwave, some people fry them. Then I put them on toast. Mmm, kippers. I don't eat eggs, but I'd imagine if one did, they'd be pretty nice together.

So, brocoflower is a crime against god and man?
