Is this the beginning of what could become Star Trek-like replicators?
I'd say more likely this will usher in the era of Stargate-like replicators.

...and not one has said that killing the founder of Twitter is a good idea!? </s>
Why would someone say that? Most sane people are not in support of the murder of others.
Apparently the drugs were kept in zip lock bags. Hopefully the DEA can shut the zip lock bag company down for co-conspiring as well.
The contradiction that many people noticed in my religious school was this: Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel, meaning one son was left...If Adam and Eve were the first two people, and they had only one surviving son, then where did the city of people, the wife, and the land of Nod come from?
This is yet another of the many arguments that a lot of atheists put forward as being a contradiction. Rather than studying the passages for themselves, they just pass around the same arguments that they hear from others. I'm not coming down on atheists here, I'm just stating a fact. Many Christians do the exact same thing. Whether you are an atheist or a Christian, if you do not do your research on something that you are arguing about, you just end up looking foolish.
In regards to your point specifically, the Bible clearly states that Adam (and assumably Eve) had many sons and daughters. For example, see the following from Genesis 5:
When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.
Chapter 1 - Male and Female are created simultaneously.
Chapter 2 - Adam and Eve are created in that order.
One of the two accounts must be false - they are mutually exclusive factual statements.
That is the dumbest argument that I have ever heard. If I told you yesterday that me and my wife had two kids, and then tomorrow I tell you that one of my kids is 6 years old and the other is 8 years old, you cannot make a case that those two statements are mutually exclusive so that one must be false. That is no different than the two accounts in Genesis. Chapter 1 is giving an entire overview of the creation of the universe, whereas Chapter 2 gets into the specific details about a specific part of that universe.
Yes, not sure what you mean by 'proven', but we should certainly respect each person's choice to follow their own beliefs. It does not, however, mean that we have to accept their beliefs or water down our own beliefs just for the sake of political correctness.
That's the politically correct thing to say. In actuality there is no truth to that. For example, Muslims reject the Biblical teaching that Jesus is the God who is the Creator of all things (John 1, Collosians 1, Hebrews 1, etc.) so in reality Muslims reject the God of the Bible. Likewise, Christians reject the God who is displayed in the Qur'an as it contradicts the God from the Bible. The original Qur'an actually said that Allah had three divine daughters: el-Lat, el-Uzza, and Manat. Muhammed later changed this and said he was hearing that from Satan when he thought he was hearing it from God.
Wow, someone should patent that idea!
I suppose next you are going to tell us that Edison never invented the light bulb and Franklin never discovered electricity.
It's a question of albedo.
It's times like this that I'm happy to be a creationist.
Why the heck is the scanner on the bottom of the cart? What if someone wants to fill up their cart? With the way it is now, the person can only put a handful of items in their cart. In that case, they should have just grabbed a basket instead.
Officer: So, what caused you to get into an accident?
Driver: Well, you see there was this invisible car...
Many times society will look down on you as seen in the old expression "Children should be seen but not heard". Some do not realize the importance young people are to our society and to our future. So, if you are young, do not let anyone look down on you because you are young. Keep striving to make a change for the better in our society. That does not mean you have to develop the next cure, but seek to better your sphere of influence. Many of you are doing that, and you should be commended for doing so!
I seriously thought that this article was going to be about them pointing out factual inaccuracies in the show "House".
I actually thought the same at first.
