I Believe In Evolution, Except For The Whole Triassic Period
For a half-dozen million years, life advanced from prokaryotes to primitive fish to mammal-like reptiles via natural selection, and we're supposed to believe that that just continued happening? I don't think so. Isn't it much more likely that a formless, invisible deity intervened, temporarily stopped the course of evolution, and shaped each and every trilobite over a period of six days? Of course it is, at least to any objective observer.
Chuck Norris discovered a new theory of relativity involving multiple universes in which Chuck Norris is even more badass than in this one. When it was discovered by Albert Einstein and made public, Chuck Norris roundhouse-kicked him in the face. We know Albert Einstein today as Stephen Hawking.
In the Bible, Jesus turned water into wine. But then Chuck Norris turned that wine into beer.
Chuck Norris once ate an entire ream of rice paper and shat out origami swans and Mister Miyagi from Karate Kid.

I have a new homepage. It's a work in progress but I like that a British woman reads my articles aloud for visitors. Her distinguished diction actually improves the perceived quality of my ideas! I'm all for gloss.
But this old website/blog isn't going anywhere, since so many gazillions of fabulous people continue to visit it for IE hacks, miracles, and the genius of friends.
Off topic, I ordered a copy of System of Nature by d'Holbach and I expect to pick it up next weekend before watching Spiderman. I can't wait, for both equally.
- Admit that you are only human.
- Admit that you are good at heart.
- Admit that you deserve happiness, not Hell.
Now smile with me.

Christian Kids Want to Know: Do Retarded People Go to Heaven?
I'm afraid I can only speculate that since God tells us in the book of Jeremiah 1:5 that He knows us before He even forms us in the womb, that your sister, Becky, must have really done something to tick off the Lord before she was born.
In all seriousness, what is the cognitive cutoff to achieve salvation?
[T]he world generated 161 billion gigabytes - 161 exabytes - of digital information last year.
That's like 12 stacks of books that each reach from the Earth to the sun. Or you might think of it as 3 million times the information in all the books ever written, according to IDC. You'd need more than 2 billion of the most capacious iPods on the market to get 161 exabytes.
Here is something odd to consider. If no consistent system can be proved complete, then no outside system can prove this as fact. No system can prove that another cannot be proved complete or incomplete.
No system, then, is complete because it cannot be proved so, but this assertion, too, cannot be proved true. Therefore, nothing can be proved, perhaps.
Furthermore, a consistent system is one that never contradicts itself, but all systems contradict themselves if attempted to be proved complete. So, it follows that no system is ultimately consistent, either, because it must be proved complete to be so.
In "The contradiction of atheism," an article published on February 28 in the Capitol Hill Blue, "a not-for-profit, non-commercial, non-partisan experiment in on-line journalism" that coincidentally contains a certain liberal political color in its name, Paul Campos, a law professor at the University of Colorado, writes to explain why "there are almost no genuine atheists." This is a trite stance, but coming from a law professor, I thought it would be challenging to disagree.
Um... it wasn't.
