Why is this on HN with 41 upvotes (as of this writing)? Is he creating a company? Is he building a startup? Is he writing javascript, putting together something really interesting, or what? I see nothing here HN-worthy.
This is the kind of thing I expect to find elsewhere (and do, in fact, look for this sort of content there). HN is a niche site for hackers, entrepreneurs, and money folks. No need to bring excessive religious topics/debates here - keep that on reddit/etc.

What this young man is demonstrating can easily carry over to other forms of leadership, in business and in politics, and there are many things we can learn from his example.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoPeople who force creationism on us are trying to create a future where you won't have any start-ups because you will die young, ill and poor. Therefore the topic is important in the long run.
- MartinCron 14y agoyou will die young, ill and poor I was ready to dismiss this as pure fear-mongering, but when you think about it, there's something to it. Would you want to trust your life to a doctor or medical researcher who, for non-scientific reasons, refuses to consider the main organizing principle of all life sciences?

- dakimov 14y agoThat's a good sign that the hackers community is not only concentrated on professional matters, they are not a bunch of narrow-minded nerds, but are enlightened people concerned with all sorts of problems a modern intellectual would be concerned with, a sort of elite of the humankind.
