Just wait until you no longer respond to your name because every third poster or shop you pass calls out to you directly for your attention. Then, maybe, we'll realize we've erred. "Joey! HURRY! Over here! It's about your daughter, Sheila! ... She would LOVE these shoes!". If that's too far into the near future for you, imagine arming a Carnie with this tool today.

I cannot be the only Christian to be a full-fledged scientist, so I wonder why the hullaballoo about the discoveries of science?

Every discovery made is a fascinating broadening of our understanding of this place. I'm intrigued and want to know more, as is my fellow mankind. The "fruit" chosen was from the Tree of Knowledge, after all. The curse we were warned against was loss of naivete, but also carried insatiability. It all fits, at least to me.

Picture yourself as an Egyptian-adopted guy being shown a timelapse of how the Universe and Earth came to be (ala the Genesis project animation in Star Trek) and then explain that to your recently-freed-from-slavery people. You don't expect a little fuzzy allegory?

Regardless, evolution as a driving force for change is completely natural. God uses it all the time. Let's just loosey-goosey some of this, as it's from the hip for me, so I won't bore anyone with Gospel quotes (and I'm not that well-versed), but I hope there's enough sense in the trends.

God let's things "go" in his arena, and then intervenes.

1. Mankind runs amok... until Noah selected out of the mess.
2. Mankind runs amok... until Abraham selected out of the mess.
3. Sodom and Gamorrah runs amok... until Lot selected out of the mess.
4. Mankind runs amok... until Jacob selected out of the mess.
5. Plenty more amoks... plenty of prophets selected out of the messes.
6. More amok... Mary selected out of the mess.

The list goes on and on. If we extend the pattern BACKWARD, what would be wrong with:?
0. Man evolves... until Adam chosen/created.
-1. The planet evolves... until humans develop and progress.
-2. The universe blossoms... until Earth selected/created.
-3. The void exists... until "let there be light" starts the process of Universe generation.

And don't let "6 days" trip things up, either. Think about the sped up Genesis thing that Moses sees and his rational explanation. Plus, if God exists outside of the Universe, adding light, energy, matter, and TIME to a void to start this show, why do people insist on George Burns or Morgan Freeman playing the part? Anthropomorphize all you like, but God is WAAAAY beyond that. Time is quite possibly an outside construct to that entity. Would explain why he reveals the "future". Don't get hung up on time. We haven't got any clues yet about the system OUTSIDE our system.

So, regardless, with each new scientific discovery, I find out more about how God baked this cake. He didn't necessarily tweezer each subatomic particle in place to do so, but he sure set the rules around it to make it happen. Bring on the discoveries! Stop being threatened by them!

Uh sh..wha? DAMMIT!
Well I may as well throw away the friggin' DVD collection now. Thanks a bundle, feep. Ya jerk. ;)

Hmmm. Lone survivors of the crash.
Should we be worried that some super-villainous worm is out there somewhere? Or are they so fragile it doesn't matter?

Love George for that. Lots of other problems (that's just the critical me, it's my favorite fantasy series), but there is much to be said for the real danger of a loved character getting the... umm.. boot. Was going to say another implement, but can't find the spoiler tags...

Now, Catherine fooked that all up, but that's for another rant at another time.

Use any of the other methods here, or any window cleaner, then get a clean dry cloth and work it. Push hard, polish the glass. Transparency.

This is by far the best way to clean mirrors too, reducing the frequency of using any cleaner at all. Polishing usually does the trick.
At the very least, it'll give some of you a little exercise.

Yeah! I count like, what, 6 textures! 7? Wow! At this rate, he'll have the whole game done by next Tuesday!

I believe proper use of whitespace in programming makes enormous improvements in recognition. Spaces in proportional fonts are often thinner and less contrasting. That alone may reduce proportional effectiveness, more readable or not. One would have to form a habit of using two space characters and more tabs.

Good luck avoiding corn-derived products.

Try reading "The Omnivore's Dilemma" to get a sense of how much of our food products come from subsidized corn (sugar? CITRIC ACID???!).

This very act is what prompted the "negative option billing" law in the first place. The dates (yours or the "10 year" estimate) are either wrong, or your friends were caught by something less generic - i.e. they had signed up for it somewhere without realizing it. But, again, Rogers also could have just pushed their luck...
