Popcorn popper. Used it six times in the last five months, mostly for my roommate.

Nah, Christians stopped doing that years ago :p

I think that the concept of the Christian God just doesn't apply to me as much as I thought it would. I see the point in believing in such a deity, I just don't think I believe in what Christianity's deity truly is depicted as wholeheartedly.

CVT Temp wrote:I mean, we can actually create a mathematical definition for evolution in terms of the evolutionary algorithm and then write code to deal with abstract instances of evolution, which basically equates to mathematical proof that evolution works. All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

I'd say go for it. At least, you'll broaden your horizons. At most, you may find something fulfilling.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.
