    DST much too early...

    One other problem about DST this year is that patches have to be applied to computers not just in the US, but also to computers around the world, including those countries which do not use DST. It just means more work (or trouble) for IT administrators.

    The problem is that chaos theory can only be applied to deterministic systems, which quantum systems are not.

    Why Are There No Christian Suicide Bombers?

    Does the OP include suicide bombers who happen to be christians in the discussion, or is it restricted to suicide bombers who attack at least partly due to religious conviction, for political reasons?

    I suppose they can also be Prometheus to these chimps as well, by teaching them to use fire.

    Heliocentricity Is The Great Apostasy

    Between the arctic circle and south of the antarctic circle, every day the sun appears from the eastern horizon in the morning and disappears into the eastern horizon in the evening. This is due to the earth's rotation about it's axis, and independent of the earth's orbit around the sun...

    The State of Orthodoxy in Greece

    Just a bit of background info about language issues: In 1901, there were riots in Athens over the "translation" of the New Testament to Demotic Greek. Subsequently, 8 people were killed, and the Archbishop was forced to resign, and the whole cabinet stepped down.

    Noah's Ark depicted in ancient Chinese pictograph

    The word "口" means mouth,not person. Why do they shoehorn so as to mean person in some context?

    If anyone is thinking of getting it, perhaps it is better to wait for the service packs first.

    Women in the Military?

    I would have thought that women's role in the Soviet Union during World War II would have shown that they are just as capable as men in combat, whereby several are famous for being fighter aces, sharpshhoters, and tank commanders. A good number of them received the Hero of the Soviet Union, the...

    Are you speaking in terms of mortality rate, or absolute numbers?

    Convolution (the alternative to evolution)

    Evolution & Creation can coexist ~ Moved to CrEvo ~

    Most of the energy will be disipated as heat during death. Potential chemical energy in the body will be used by microbes for their own use.

    Metric

    Kelvin and Rankine are a better for scientific calculations, since both relate to concepts of thermodynamics more closely than Celsius or Fahrenheit, especially the concept of absolute zero. You cannot get negative values on both Kelvin and Rankine, just as you cannot get negative kinetic energy...

    Metric

    Personally, I find that the pound is the most annoying thing about the metric system, where it can either mean pound-force, or pound-mass.
