BioQuick description of myself?
Still getting over every relationship I've ever had with anyone.
What you need to know about me? An engineer so much my organs probably spell it out like a stick of rock.
An aganostic rather than an athiest only because of semantics.
Apparantly obsessed with sex as if it is the be all and end all of life. No comment on that one...
A single white male techie - this has to be a bad thing.
Until I can get around to writing something more profound, I thought It'd be fun to have some favorite quotes:
--
Curiosity was framed; ignorance killed the cat. -- Author unknown
--
I think sex is better than logic, but I can't prove it.
--
Women are like onions - lots of layers, can leave a nasty taste in your mouth and often leave those close crying
Men are like oranges - one thick skin and a drippy mess at the end
--
It's a harsh world. Sensitivity and political correctness will only take you so far in dealing with it.
--
Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom - Terry Pratchett
--
Atheists do look for answers to existence itself. They just don't make them up. -- Teller
--
The right to offend is far more important than the right not to be offended. -- Rowan Atkinson
--
One roll of tinfoil: $3.57
One month of psychiatric help: $357
Keeping the neighbor's dog from reading your mind: Priceless.
--
If I fall along the way, pick me up and dust me off
If I get too tired to make it, be my breath so I can walk
If I need some other love then, give me more than I can stand
When my smile gets old and faded, just wait around I'll smile again
It shouldn't be so complicated, just hold me and then, just hold me again
-- Rob Thomas

"Science is like sex. Sometimes something useful comes out, but that is not the reason we are doing it." -Richard Feynman
"Physics is to maths as sex is to masturbation." - R. Feynman
"And Electronics is applied Physics" - Rufty
--
Quantum mechanics: the dreams that stuff is made of.
--
Friendship has to be mutual to exist, love doesn't - Nicky Berkley
--
do you think you can cope,
you've figured me out,
that I'm lost and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken -- Rob Thomas
--
Now I'm crying isn't that what you want
and I'm trying to live my life on my own
though I don't know why, at times I do believe I am strong
so someone tell me why, do I fell stupid -- Rob Thomas
--
If these are the golden years,
Then I think it's time to cash them in
To sit in our rocking chairs
And talk about the good old days -- Rob Thomas
--
When all your love is gone, who will save me from all I'm up against out in this world

Easier just to post the links...

--
You'll never know what a low opinion I have of myself, and how little I deserve it!"
--
Trust those who are searching for the truth, but never those who claim to have found it.
--
"If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when will you find time to do it again?".
The correlary is: "The problem with quick and dirty is that dirty remains long after quick is forgotten."
--
"Programs should be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute."
--
"those who are willingly to sacrifice freedom for security deserve niether"
--
"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."
--
The best things in life are free! And there's also Chocolate...
--
i got kicked out of barnes and noble once for moving all the bibles into the fiction section
--
"God's existance is an untestable hypothesis that can never rise to the level of validity of a theory. Belief that 'God' created the universe is as demonstratable and testable as 'invisible pink elephants' created the universe."

Science is about knowledge, not Truth or Belief or Answers

A puddle wakes up one day. He looks at the world around him, and thinks "ooh, this ditch is EXACTLY the right size and shape for me!". If the ditch hadn't been there, or had been a different shape - the puddle would have never existed.
Therefore the puddle reasons the ditch must have been designed for him. He reasons there must be a God that made the ditch with these perfect conditions for his existance.
A little colder or hotter and poof, he'd be ice or steam.

You're asking questions about accuracy of details in the Bible. A document which asserts the earth is flat, at the centre of the universe, and rests on pillars, that the mustard seed is the smallest seed, that hares and coneys chew the cud, that giants and unicorns are real, that bats are birds, that stars are small objects which can fall from the sky and be stamped upon, that.. well.. you get the idea. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
