(no subject)
Friday night I cooked some of the best Mac and Cheese I've ever cooked. It held together and it tasted perfect. I don't know how I managed it, but i think I've improved.
Running on about three and a half hours of sleep, you'd think I would go to bed early. Instead I stayed up past 5am putting together the Mag Sam episode 99 which features a post production Let's Play of the first world of Kirby 3. Episode 100 will start our on-and-off LP of Metal Gear Solid, which is going to be real fun.
Update on that youtube conversation I was having regarding that Bill Nye video. No one will reply to the subject of my post, which is ignorance of science and evolution. Instead they've decided that I'm a hardline young earth creationist with a religious adjenda. While I admit that the only reason most people end up criticising the theory of evolution is religious, myself included; my viewpoint has changed in the last few years. I believe in an old earth, but don't buy that evolution can account for all the variety on earth. I don't see anything wrong with accepting the limited "evolution" we can observe, but on a macro scale I find the evidence lacking. I don't see how this can be considered a religious position as my beliefs are flexible enough to accommodate if for some reason was presented with compelling evidence.
The problem is that for years science education has been fighting against misguided psuedoscience, but for some reason has overreacted to the point of belittling anyone who might question the theory for fear of supporting some wackjob religiously-based theory. As I understand from those older than me, in the past, many teachers and professors have made an effort to either marginalize or destroy religious beliefs that they see as incompatible with science. Because of this marginalization, Christians and other religious people feel excluded from these subjects and thus we have an overrepresentation of atheists and liberal christians in the sciences. My opinion is that the proper presentation of intelligent design theory (a scientiffic theory, not creationism) is the only way to bridge this gap. But again, for fear of inadvetantly supporting religion, the science community has chosen to bitch and moan about religion being forced on teachers. Its stupid.
Anyway, rant over. Ill try to post later.
