First your right about the 10k years thing. I misspoke, estimates are on the order of millions of years. But my point still stands at 10 million vs 1 billion. Anyways, all these dates are complete conjecture. Nobody really knows how old

Great question about translation. I read "Youngs literal translation" which is much more accurate. And I frequently use the Blue Letter Bible website which has an amazing resource to help you understand the Greek/Hebrew mean

1. As for facts, I am referring to things like the Cambrian explosiom, and the lack of transitional fossils. For example how about Lucy? Lucy was clearly a chimp. You can go read the actual PBS interview with the guys who reconstructed i

This is not historically accurate. For example, Newton was both an insanely awesome scientist and devoted theologian. Similarly Galileo said "God is known by nature in his works, and by doctrine in his revealed word". There is a l

Your comment is so ironic. You complain about conservatives wanting to "shut up" the media. And yet here you are advocating shutting up conservative ideas about creation in school. How hypocritical. As for science, macro evoluti

I agree. There are a lot of very smart people on both sides of the issue. It is better to be exposed to both sides. Also, I think it is good that they are trying to limit nudity in textbooks. Even Steve jobs, who was by no means traditional

Netflix shows all kinds of stuff about how food and big business can be bad. Since they subsist on fees alone, and not on advertising, I guess they can be more free to show what people want. The good news is that with the internet, you are

Interestingly a private company is tying to build a high speed train from Dallas to Houston tx. The great thing is that it would be privately owned so if it's a flop taxpayers arent on the hook.

If a gang member tells you he will severely hurt you unless you give him your money, and you give it to him without any fight, did he take it forcefully? If the government tells you "give me your money or we will lock you up in a cage

Why do you keep talking about other countries? I wasn't comparing the west to any other country. Men and women are different. Women have decided that they don't want to be women any more. The results have been disastrous. Famili

I think .co is too similar to .com. I would just go with the +app version. Or, a lot of startups are using .io these days. That's what I did and I'm happy with it.

I purposely chose to build on angular 1 instead of angular 2 when I started a project about a year ago. I'm actually glad I did, because every question you have has an answer already on the internet. I think it's actually good t

The CFAA is a really, really nasty law. According to some interpretations, you are breaking it any time you violate the tiny terms of use at the bottom of a website. So basically anybody could get convicted if the prosecution really wants

I like the idea of getting free money every month, but it just wouldn't feel right to live on money that was forcefully taken from someone else, even if they do have a lot of it. Maybe somebody will invent some sort of sustainable vol

If you live in America you can do what you want. You can study hard and get a scholarship to college even if you are really poor as a kid. I know a poor Mexican immigrant who's kids all got college degrees for free. It doesn't re

A lot of people are getting fired due to increased minimum wage. The employers will take their money and pay it to you and me to build automated solutions that do what the now-too-expensive people once did. That's what McDonalds is f

The main reason for this is government regulation artificially limiting supply. For example, being a lawyer isn't that hard. You could intern with a lawyer and read books on law yourself and get just as good an education. That's

Agreed. Universal for healthcare is one thing, because it's about people's lives. However college in my opinion is mostly a waste of money. You can learn the same thing on YouTube for free. It would be a terrible misallocation

I'm glad to see they are using gulp. I know webpack is the hot new technology, but in my limited experience with webpack, gulp is easier to use and is more intuitive. Webpack has a lot of loaders, but I feel like gulp gives more flex

I think that boys just plain will prefer the cars over the doll if you give them the choice, regardless of culture. The story of David Reimer is instructive. The boy at 22 months had a botched circumcision. So the doctors just chopped off h
