.. better yet, buy an additional 2 or 4 GB of RAM. Given the prices, complaining about RAM usage(*) is absurd these days.

Btw, I'm impressed with how quckly the OP was able to try out 4.11 given that it hasn't reached most distributions yet...

(*) Unless you are are on a truly embedded/minimal platform.

Now will he renounce the current Catholic stance on condoms, so that perhaps we can save, oh, hundres of thousands or even millions of lives?

Because of the laws of thermodynamics. The universe isn't a perpetual motion machine - it needs something outside itself to come into existence. Something outside of space and time - therefore something immaterial and eternal - and powerful. I'm speaking of space-time itself and even the laws of physics. Particles can't come from a void without physical laws.

So why does god get a free pass to come from nothing?

Also, if you need another reason - the anthropic principle. There are not enough sub atomic particles in the universe for there to be a life-possible planet statistically - the numbers will blow your mind if you look at them.

The anthropic principle does not mean what you think it means.

And what, exactly, is your basis for postulating that life is rare?

Anyone with an open mind will see that God is really the only rational, logical explanation.

It's not an explanation. Even if you accept it as one, you still have to explain where god came from.

I'd give your apologetics a 1 out 10. Try harder.

There are a gazillion pundits predicting all kinds of things and once in a while one of them (huge surprise there!) gets it right. It how old-time stock prediction scams worked, and it's how lots of current scams work.
